Hi Irfan,

Hope you are doing good .

For being the part of Astronomy department  , Mathematics plays a always has been of central importance to astronomy . Observation becomes quantified the possibility for calculation and predication based on observation was open to astronomers.

One cannot really do Astronomy and astrophysics without maths.

BUT , a PCB students can becomes  a space scientist and get into the research fields after specializing in a specific subject.

Space research consisting things like astrophysics , astrobiologist and there are things to take care of to pursue a career as a space scientist .

In India, till date only IIT Indore provides the Msc program in Astronomy which needs to have BSc Physics for which you need to have Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics in your 10+2. Apart from this, there are institutions like IUCAA, NCRA, TIFR etc which offers Doctoral Programs in Astronomy & Astrophysics but for that also you need to have BSc/MSc Physics & for that Mathematics is required in your 10+2.

So as you don't have Mathematics then going for the course of Astronomy can be a hurdle for you. For that you can appear for the NIOS & through that you can pursue, your passion.

For more info regarding NIOS you can consider the link below:
