Dear Aspirant,
The basic education required to become an Astrophysicist in India is as follows:
A Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) degree in astronomy, astrophysics or physics may qualify you for entry-level jobs in astrophysics.
A Master of Science (M.Sc) degree in astrophysics is required for most research assistant and consulting positions.
A doctoral (Ph.D.) degree in astrophysics is most likley needed if you want to work for a college or university as a teacher or a researcher. You will also likely need a Ph.D. to work in most federal government research positions.
Here I am providing you with the best institutes in India for Physics & Astronomy selected on basis of academic reputation, employer reputation and research impact:
