Dear Sanjay,

In order to become an astronaut you need to have passed class 12th with physics,chemistry and mathematics as your core subjects. Then you have to choose a bachelor's degree in phsics, chemistry, maths and aerospace engineering. Do post graduation and get a doctorate degree. After that , you need to sit for Joint entrance exam which is conducted by IITs.

All the best

Hello sanjay,

To become an ISRO astronaut you should opt for the course of Bachelor of Science in either of the PCM categories i.e. physics, chemistry and mathematics you can do B.Sc Hons in any of the above courses given and then further you can go for higher education in the respective subjects. You can also choose the field of engineering also to become the ISRO astronaut.

I hope my answer have helped you and hope you do well in future.

Dear Sanjay,

In order to become an ISRO Astronaut you must keep the following points in mind.You need to be physically fit, there are examinations, mentally strong and should have great stamina.You should qualify the criterion of height, a particular level of height is required for people to become an astronaut.You should possess great mathematical skills, and I am not talking about addition, multiplication etc.You should have good communication skills, you must be good at English because there are very high chances that people you will be working with will not even be from your own country.You should have a good academic career and team spirit because all the space missions are done in teams, and you should be able to work under high pressure and in cramped environment. After you are done with 12th grade and you have gotten good grades, you need to focus on a good Bachelors degree from a recognized university. One could choose a course in Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Biology, or Aerospace Engineering.

To be able to get a post graduation degree and a doctorate, you need to do well in your undergraduate degree. Post graduation and doctorate will basically be specialization in your stream.And in order to be a mission specialist, you will need 3 years of related and responsible experience. But being an Astronaut is not that easy. It has its pros and cons. Thus keep all things in mind before you take any step.

Hope this helps! All the best!
