Astrophysics is a subject that is taken by many Indian students. Many institutions within the country offer students with the postgraduate level courses in Astronomy or astrophysics. The qualification required to join this program is a pass in the graduate level. Students must have taken physics as one of the subjects. More details about the scope of astrophysics are given below.

There are now many top quality institutes where astrophysics is the primary or a major target.

1. IUCCA, Pune
2. IIA, Bangalore
3. GMRT (part of TIFR) adjacent to IUAA, Pune.
4. Main TIFR, Mumbai, has an extensive program on X-ray, Infrared astronomy, Gamma Ray Astronomy and Partly Cosmic Rays.
5. Almost all the IIESRs have major astrophysics
6. RRI, Bangalore
7. Many IITS have astrophysics research opportunities
8. ISRO is for Space Missions but often work in tandem with various institutes.

Once students have completed all their studies, they can get jobs with top firms within India or overseas. Aspirants can also look forward for a job as Research Scientists with Institutions involved in Research. Jobs are available for astrophysicists with organizations such as:

Aryabhata Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES), Nainital

Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), Bangalore

Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)

Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA), Pune

National Centre for Radio Astrophysics, TIFR (Pune)

Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad

Raman Research Institute (RRI), Bangalore

Space Science Centre, ISRO, Thiruvananthapuram

Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai

It is also possible for candidates to get jobs with organizations such as the Bangalore Amateur Astronomers (ABAA). The best thing about a career in astrophysics is that one will get the opportunity to travel to distant places and take part in international seminars as well as conventions. They will have the chance to meet many famous people in the world of Astronomy.

To be honest, in ISRO the astrophysicist has no role! Space agencies are responsible for developing and deploying technologies for space-based projects. Some of these projects can be for astrophysics research, and thus the scientific proposal and instrument design sees collaborations between space agencies and astrophysicists. But space agencies are not responsible for the research work done in astrophysics, which is done by astrophysicists. ISRO as of now is focussing on development of space technologies, and collaborates with astrophysicists in various institutes like TIFR, IIA, IUCAA, IISc, IISERs, etc., as and when required. Thus, it does not need to employ astrophysicists itself except for some very niche roles. Hope this helps.

After completing the M.Sc. Chemistry, one can work as:

1. Chemistry/Biochemistry Research Officer

2. Analytical Chemistry Application Specialist

3. Research Scientist

4. Chemists, Quality Control Chemists

5. Quality Manager

6. Inspector of Quality Control

7. Senior Research Associate

8. Laboratory/Field Chemist

9. Research Analyst

10. Development Supervisor, Quality Management Analyst, etc.

11. Assistant Professor or teacher at various institutes, universities, or schools

There are some positions of research scientists in ISRO, keep on the lookout for vacancies on the official website.

At DRDO, positions are Senior Technical Assistant B ( through Open competitive examination conducted by CEPTAM) & Scientist B ( through GATE).

One can apply as a research scholar at BARC in chemical science. For which they conduct an annual written test in February every year.

ALL THE BEST

Hello!

Hello,

ISRO, an acronym for Indian Space Research Organization, is one of the world’s leading space agencies, known for its cost-effective ventures and advanced technologies.

So technically a space agency. As mentioned in the website you require a BE/B. Tech or equivalent qualification in first class with an aggregate minimum of 65% marks or CGPA 6.84/10 (average of all semesters for which results are available) to be eligible for ISRO.

You can join using bsc but you have to be first class passed in all the subjects. You can enter ISRO as a scientist or an engineer in one of two ways. You will take the IIST exam (Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST), Trivandrum) after or during your 12th grade.

After Bsc physics you can join as Technical Assistant, ISRO allow you option of part-time or correspondence study, after completing Msc you can get promoted to Scientist-SC.

Hello Aspirant,

After completing your master's you can refer for employment in ISRO.

You can serve as a research associate in numerous undertakings.

They release opportunities on their official website.

Also, a master's in Physics refers to technological employment in ISRO.

Commonly, they are allowed for Research Scientists or Senior Physicist roles in ISRO. 60% score or more is desired.

The pen and paper exam is administered and the nomination is brought about by analyzing the achievement of nominees in the exam.

The knowledge studied at Masters's level will be evaluated in the test.

Personal talk is the ultimate procedure for nominees who qualify for the exam.

I hope it helps.
