Hello..I m kush Pachauri and I'm studying in class11th PCM and My dream is to become an astronomy scientist.so, mujhe kis exam ki preparation karni chahiye and how improve my skills and maths or chemistry.? what should I do...? thanks sir
Kush, now in India we have various Institutions that offer courses in Astronomical sciences. There are Astronomical courses like B.Sc in Astronomics and M.Sc in Astronomics, so on and so forth. But the conventional and tradition way is to get into IISC after your 12th for B.Tech. There are quite a few Institutions that offers courses in Astronomy and they are:
IISC, Thiruvanantapuram
IIAP, Bangalore
Tata Institute of Fundamental Research
IIS, Bangalore
Osmania University
There are various levels at which you can join ISRO and at various designations.
After 12th: You can get into IIST (Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology) for their Undergraduate programmes. The admission is based on JEE Advanced scores. Which means you need to have studied Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics in 10+2. You can pick any of their 4 year Bachelor programmes like B.Tech in Physical Sciences, B.Tech in Avionics and B.Tech in Aerospace Engineering, etc. Or you can also pick up their 5 year Integrated courses in Master of Science in Astronomy and AstroPhysics, Master of Technology in Earth System Science, Master of Science in Solid State Physics and Master of Science in Optical Engineering, etc.
Opportunities are amazing for academically brilliant candidates. With a CGPA of 7.5 or higher, subject to the availability of vacancies, you get placed in ISRO. Aero and Avio graduates have better prospects even outside ISRO.
After B.Tech: IIST also offers Postgraduate Programmes like:
M.Tech in Soft Computing & Machine Learning
M.Tech in RF & Microwave Engineering
M.Tech in Geo informatics
M.Tech in Optical Engineering
M.Tech in Machine Learning & Computing
M.Tech in Solid State Technology
M.Tech in VLSI & Microsystems
M.Tech in Materials Science & Technology, etc.
Opportunities depend upon ISRO Placements conducted by centralised recruitment committee.
You have to prepare for JEE Mains of you are in your 11th right now. Because Astronomy is application of Mathematical and Physics methods, you need to be very apt at these subjects not leaving Chemistry behind.
