IIT Indore has a separate department for astronomy and astrophysics, and the M.Sc. in Astronomy programme is a new initiative. The curriculum for the first two semesters is the same as M.Sc. Physics, but the 3rd and 4th semesters are different. It is recommended to choose M.Sc. Astronomy only if you are sure about pursuing a career in astronomy, as it may limit your higher research and opportunities.

To be eligible for admission to the M.Sc. in Astronomy at IIT Indore, a candidate should pursue a stream that includes courses in Physics and Mathematics, such as B.Sc. in Physics, Mathematics, Statistics, Electronics, or Computer Science, or a Bachelor's degree in Engineering/Technology with courses in Physics and Mathematics for at least 6 credits or 2 semesters each.

It is tough to say whether it's worth it or not. The programme has started this year only, so it can be said that it is not much stable one, and there will be difficulties in curriculum management during the course, which will be rectified in next admission session. Doing M.Sc astronomy will definitely narrow down your higher research and opportunities, limiting it just to astronomy, as you will be doing only astronomy all along. So, choose if and only if you are very sure about pursuing a career in astronomy.
