Hi Vivek,

First of all congratulations for following this endeavour! Hee are some of the guidelines you can use:

  • A bachelors degree in  focused on Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, Aerospace Engineering or Physical Sciences. 
  • Post graduation, aspirants need to complete a Ph.D. in Astrophysics, Geophysics or Metaphysics. At this point, the candidate will get to specialize in a certain stream. Once the Ph.D. is complete, aspirants need to take an entrance test for which there are two options –

1.      Clearing the ‘Joint Entrance Exam’ help by the IITs through which one can join ISRO

2.      Clearing the entrance exam held by NASA for the recruitment of scientists and astronauts
