So, To pursue career in therotical /observational astronomy , one can do B.sc in physics or mathematics. For pursuing the career in experimental astronomy ,one can do B.tech/B.E in electrical or electronic.but most of the universities offered various courses related to astronomy at masters and P.HD level. These university are IIsc Bangalore , Delhi university, jadavpur university offered course at masters level.

Joint entrance screening test (jest) is conducted at an all India level every year in the month of February for admission to Ph.D. programme. The institutions participating in this programme are : Harish- Chandra Research Institute (Formerly Mehta Research Institute of Mathematics & Mathematical Physics); Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), Bangalore; Institute of Physics (IOP), Bhubhaneswar; Institute for Plasma Research (IPR), Gandhinagar; Inter-University Centre for Astronomy & Astrophysics (IUCAA), Pune; Inter-University Consortium for DAE Facilities (IUC-DAEF), Indore; Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Bangalore; National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS), Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Bangalore; National Centre for Radio Astrophysics (NCRA), Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Pune; Physical Research Laboratory (PRL), Ahmedabad; Raman Research Institute (RRI), Bangalore; S N Bose Centre for Basic Natural Sciences (SNBNCBS), Kolkata

After completing the course one can easily get the placement as a research fellow in major government institutions like DRDO, ISRO .

good luck:)
