Hello Samyuktha,
Good to see your passion towards neuroscience. It is a study that combines subjects, including biology, psychology and chemistry, to deepen the understanding of the brain and the nervous system. It is an attractive and lucrative career option and in order to become a neuroscientist you should complete PhD in the neuroscience. You can take up undergraduate degree in any of the above mentioned subjects from any reputed university and later take up neuroscience specialization in you masters and proceed to PhD or do BSc in neuroscience too but this course is rare in India , if you wish to take up BSc in neuroscience then global level universities would be better. Even otherwise , neuroscience study will be better from institutions in USA,UK, Cannada,Australia etc. You may do a thorough research based on the fee structure and other factors and choose one .
