Hello Student

For doing MSc astrophysics candidate can do  a degree in Science with physics and mathematics as a compulsory subject. They have to appear for an entrance examination under the supervision of Indian Institute of Science education and research IISER. The entrance examination is IISER aptitude test which is a national level entrance test taken throughout India for admission in BSC and Msc astrophysics course. Other than these JEST/GATE/JRF in CSIR NET UGC exam. Student has to possess at least 1 to 250 ranks in these examinations. After completing MSc physics candidates can do research  or can join as  technician job in ISRO, a teaching job universities or colleges research institutes. Aur if he has skill in computer programming can join as a Jain industrial sector. A can do a job as environmentalist or meteorologist .

Hope this helps.

Dear student,

Below I am mentioning the post graduates in Astrophysics courses that are offered by Indian institute of astrophysics.

M.Tech + Ph.D. in Astronomical Instruction

M.Tech. + Ph.D. in Physics

M.Tech. + Ph.D. in Astrophysics

To get admission, you have to sit for the written test followed by Personal Interview.

However for Ph.D. after M.Tech, cutoff are declared and then selection is done.

I hope this information helps you.

All the very best!!

Hello Aspirant,

Yes both these are different colleges . Indian Institute of Science or IISc offers UG , PG and research course in their campus . There are various courses offered in IISc like

Division of Biological Sciences.

Division of Chemical Sciences.

Division of Physical and Mathematical Sciences.

Division of Electrical Sciences.

Hey there !

There are four ways to get admission in IIA : GATE, CSIR NET , JEST and IIAST.

You need minimum 96 percentile in GATE to get selected for the Interview round in IIA.

NET and JEST qualified students can also apply for IIA.

IIAST is a national level exam conducted by IIA. The forms for IIAST comes in September and the exams are in major cities across India on second Saturday of December.

There are two courses available Ph.D and Int. M.Tech- PhD.

For engineers, in the IIAST written exam,they basically ask basic astronomy, EMT, Signals, Digital & Analog electronics, Control systems, Optics and basic 12th standard physics.

Almost 4-5 students selected each year for M.Tech -PhD.

If you have qualified IIAST then you need not to qualify GATE or any other test. At the time of interview, it doesn't matter from which National level test you have come.

To know how to prepare for IIA Interview, you can ask any student of IIA Int. Mtech-PhD programme. Their email IDs are available on IIA website.

Hope,this information will helpful to you.
