Dear aspirant,

In order to study space science you're supposed to study at IIST which is Indian institute of Space science and technology.Also if you wish to work at ISRO this is the perfect degree for you to pursue.

At IIST there is a program that they offer called dual degree where you can finish your  B.Tech. degree in Engineering Physics and Master of Science in Astronomy and Astrophysics in 5 years that is 10 semesters.For great opportunities one must have Masters of Science in Astronomy and Astrophysics.Studying in IIST is advantageous as you stand out to the ISRO.

There are other degree options available in IITs as well for physics and astronomy but going with IIST would be good choice.Hope this was helpful to you.
