I give you easy idea if you have time than try to score in gate exam that gives you opportunity in research in physics paper that helps you better understand in that after cleaning gate exam if you given your efforts and also try to given good college entrance exam if you passed then government's college give you chance to teach btech students bsc students and many others facility after all you also try to pg entrance test in physics of university exam that also give you lots of things
Then come out from comfort zone and start solving pyq of that exam papers that asked university in her entrance and learn it make notes and lots of things on internet is free learn syllabus ans solve problems that's giving you confidential and real taste of exam
All the best

Hello Aspirant,

If you want to pursue research (PhD) in astronomy or astrophysics you require a Bachelors degree in physics with mathematics. However since you have done your Bachelors in B.Tech mechanical engineering, you will have to either take up an integrated MSc with PhD in astronomy or you can do M. tech in astronomy and space engineering. Do check out the official website of Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIAP). They provide several courses that will be right up your alley.

As for research in quantum mechanics you can apply for entrance exams in Tata institute (TIFR), IISc, International centre theoretical Sciences (ICTS). You can look into their official websites for further details.

No gap is too long to pursue your dreams, keep at it. Hope this helps and Good luck.
