Hello,

For getting a job in NASA you need the educational requirements are very rigorous and include a bachelor's degree from an accredited university or college.

The preferred majors include engineering, and NASA's site specifies that engineering technology is not considered an engineering degree.

You'll usually be expected to have an A level in maths as well. To get on to a relevant degree course, you usually need three A levels, including maths and or physics.

Astronauts' annual salaries are determined using a government pay scale, and starting out, typically fall under two grades: GS-12 and GS-13.

A civilian astronaut in 2020 can earn between $66,167 and $161,141 per year.

Hope this helps!!

Hello,

If you have a strong Passion for space /Aerospace engineering/Avionics , then you can choose IIST

If you don't have a specific interest, then you can go IIT to have many other Options

B.TECH COURSES :

B.Tech in Space Technology

B.Tech in Aerospace engineering

B.Tech in Avionics

To become a Space scientist - You should do Masters degree or doctoral degree in Physics, astronomy or astrophysics

So,

For learning Space science,

You should pursue UG in Aerospace engineering or any Course related to Earth and space and also Avionics, then you should pursue PG ( M.Tech or PhD program) in Astronomy and Astrophysics

Hope it helps

Good luck!

Hello Ravi Kumar!

If you want to work at NASA there are several engineering branches you can take up

1. Aerospace engineering
2. computer hardware engineering
3. electronics engineering
4. mechanical engineering etc

Several aspects of engineering can be applied to NASA .Every domain has one or more application for sure.

I prefer going to engineering than choosing science degree because engineering gives you a lot more clear understanding.

After PhD you can take up many kinds of jobs like  post secondary physics teachers, Biophysicists ,physicists and astronomers ,Natural science managers, Petroleum engineers etc.

All these jobs have more than 6% job growth

Hope it helps!

All the best!!

Hello Aspirant

After your 12th standard you should join a B.E/B.Tech in EEE or ECE. And maintaining good score in your study is must. After B.E/B.tech You need to apply for the exam conducted by ISRO and then from ISRO u can go to NASA, U cannot directly go to NASA.

NOTE : Doing Masters of degree preferably increase ur chances

Hope it helps

Thank you

Dear Aspirants ,

They are not providing any job to aspirants but IISER is one of the best institutions to pursue one’s education, provided your aim is not to simply get a standard run-of-the-mill job and settle down into a hamster-on-a-wheel routine. The country is empowering its students by providing state-of-the-art facilities and top-notch faculties. It would be a shame to make use of such resources and not add to the scientific wealth of mankind and the nation .

If you are inserted to join NASA then you should apply for the position in which field as per your interest with criteria .

Hope it will helpful

thanks

Hi aspirant

NASA gives first preference to the American citizens. Then only comes to your opportunities based on your qualifications. If you have a PhD in your field, you have more possibilities to get a job in NASA. Many Indian people are working at NASA. They only take the most talented one from here. So be that one to get your job at NASA.

All the best.

Hey

Currently there are no manned mission in Space by Indian Space Research Organisation, so no astronauts are employed recently. But they expect a mission in coming years for which practice is undergoing. For becoming an Astronaut in NASA you need to have following eligibility:

• US Citizenship
• Masters or PhD in STEM subject (engineering, biological science, physical science, computer science or mathematics )
• Having minimum 2 years of Flight experience as a pilot
• Have undergone NASA training

So after completing your Graduation from IIT, you can go for Masters in US and apply for Pilot training, with the training and flight experience after few years you may apply to NASA. There are other space organisation like ISRO, SpaceX, European Space Agency that also offers training for Pilot/Astronaut.

For further doubts, ask us.

Dear Aspirant,

NASA do not recruit outside US Citizens so to get into NASA you must first be a US Citizen, you can be a US Citizen if you have worked in USA at a key position and prove yourself to be a worthy of citizenship.

Then you can apply for the role which matches you skill set. But you have to start small, at least for the early years to get the US Citizenship.

Hope this helps. Thank you.
