Can I became a astronomer by doing BTech in aerospace engineering......?
No, after BTech in Aerospace you become a Aerospace Engineer or later on go on to take roles of Aeronautical/Aviation Technologists.
As far as career as an Astronomer is concerned, you need to preferably pursue Physics and Astrophysics/Astronomy in your Graduation and Postgraduation followed by a Career in Research.
To become an astronomer, what am I supposed to go for after 12th. Bsc in astronomy or bsc in physics?
The course of BSc Astronomy isn't that much popular/offered in India. If you wish to become an Astronomer, then the best way will be to go for the course of BSc Physics. After your BSc in Physics, you can appear for the IIT JAM examination, and you can join IIT Indore campus, in the course of Astronomy. Apart from this you can clear TIFR GS/JEST examination and then can go for the Inter University Centre for Astronomy & Astrophysics (IUCAA). Here, you will be able to do Integrated PhD program which will provide you a better dimension to the career of Astronomy.

can i become astronomer after btech in engineering physics
Dear apsirant,
As per as my observation is considered most of the research astronomers have their degree in physics /astronomy or master degree in physical science mainly physics or astronomy.
To be at that level it takes around 7-8 years beyond the school education. Astronomers are normally good with computers in programming and with normal usage. They also have good mathematical knowledge.
So, you can absolutely pursue astronomy after clearing your b.tech degree with decent percentage of marks. You can opt for specialisation in astrophysics /astronomy.
1-Hi, I have five question to ask - if i have done msc in physics and then i have done phd in astronmy . so would i be a astronomer??? 2- Do isro hire astronomer . 3- Is getting in isro hard. 4-best college for astronmy in phd. 5-Is this filed bright in future.
1. If you want to do the course in Astronomy, then going for the course of MSc Astronomy after your BSc Physics will be a better choice. Now if you do a PhD in Astronomy, then also you will be called as a Astronomer.
2. ISRO, hire research fellows in Radio Astronomy sector, but recruiting Astronomer is a less often case and no records are there on the ICRB website.
3. Getting ISRO is hard, but if you go for the course of MTech in Solid State Physics or MTech in Optoelectronics after your MSc Physics (through GATE & Interview) then you will be able to get directly placed as an Scientist at ISRO directly. Apart from this for being Astronomical Researcher you can apply in IUCAA/ ISRO/National Centre for Radio Astronomy & then can join some way at ISRO, but there are no information available regarding the recruitment of Astronomer on the official website of ICRB.
4. At Masters level, only IIT Indore offers the MSc Astronomy course through IIT JAM Physics examination. Apart from this you can apply for Integrated PhD or PhD program through NET/GATE/TIFR-GS/JEST at:
- IUCAA
- TIFR MUMBAI
- NCRA
- IIT GUWAHATI

I am 12 years old and want to become an astronomer , how should I start up with my career ?
Dear student,
In order to become an astronomer you may take the following steps:
- Since you are only 12years old your main focus should be to have good understanding of mathematics initially.
- After this as you get introduced to higher level Science including physics and computer science start focusing on it.
- In class 9 and 10 th , focus on Science, and mathematics.
- In 11th opt for Science stream with physics, mathematics and computer science as key subjects since these will help you carry a career in astronomy.
- You must have a bachelor's degree in astronomy, physics or mathematics.
- You may also go for PhD in this field.
- Then you may start gaining experience and work in this field further.

Hope this helps you.
I am student of 9th grade and l want to become an astronomer so I need to study in iucaa what are the fees for that
Hey Aspirant,
Hope you are doing great,
As you want to become an astronaut:
For that you will have to start focusing on your career once you pass 10th grade. One should choose Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as core subjects in 12th.
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, Math, 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.
After you are done with graduation, you can sit for the exam, which is held by NASA for the recruitment of scientists and astronauts. Or in order to join ISRO one needs to clear the Joint Entrance Exam which is held by the IITs.
And in order to be a mission specialist, you will need 3 years of related and responsible experience.

is there good scope in astronomy? and how hard it is to become an astronomer??
Hello Tisha,
Hope you are doing well.
Astronomy is a scientific course which deals with the study of the physical universe; it is focused on events, objects, and phenomena that originate outside the earth’s atmosphere. In short, astronomy is the study of everything beyond the earth’s atmosphere such as the moon, sun, planets, stars and much more in detail.
One can pursue an undergraduate and postgraduate degree in astronomy with B.Sc./Bachelor’s in physics, astronomy or astrophysics, diploma, and Master of Science in Astronomy or PhD in Astronomy. An individual pursuing this course of the subject is required to understand the basic principles of physics and mathematics since the course is based on the application of these subjects.
Eligibility criteria for UG in Astronomy:
1. Candidates must score a minimum 50% marks after averaging the marks they have in all subjects and above in 12 grades.
2. Candidates must have completed their 12 grades in science stream with Subjects of maths and physics .
3. The admission process for Astronomy is based on the entrance exam or merit-based as per the Institution requirements.
Scope of Astronomy in India and Abroad:
The study of astronomy may offer limited scope to individuals engaged in this course due to the requirement of extreme experts relevant to the needs of space works. If an individual is pursuing this course under a prestigious well-known Institution, he/ she might have a better future scope in the future.
This subject requires a lot of enthusiasm and efforts to understand the celestial bodies and its workings along with changes that take place over time.
With the skills and experience obtained throughout the course, if an individual has an outstanding performance and knowledge in astronomy, the chances of being employed in ISRO or NASA becomes a possibility.
One can pursue this course in India as well as abroad, and its scope depends on the individual’s dedication and research-based studies and works achieved over time.
