Hi, you can get educated in astronomy from IITs,Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Delhi University and Indian Institute of Space Science & Technology. There are other colleges too, but these are the best ones.

Hi,
In engineering, your path could be, aerospace/avionics Engineer, flight engineer, project engineer etc. However, by Science stream (B.Sc-M.Sc) you can be research scientist, academicians, physicist etc. So, it's all depends on your aspirations. The suggested college for Astronomy is Indian Institute of Space Science & Technology, India Institute of Science, Bangalore, IIT-B, M.

Space shuttle pilots are selected based on their flying performance. If you are talking about piloting a spacecraft, you need to become an engineer and excellent military grade pilot. Becoming an aerospace engineer probably will increase the probability.

Hi Dollar,
First thing, you need to have maths as a compulsory subject in class 12th. Secondly, there is no such post of research astronaut (and there is no direct posting for astronaut). To be the research scientist, the ideal path is B.Sc. Then, M.Sc and Ph.D and a lot of industrial experience in research sector (with lots of publication, patents etc.). For Bachelor's level, I don't think that there is any (good) college in India who offers cosmology or astronomy or astrophysics at Bachelor's level. You may check of the website of IIS Bangalore (Indian Institute of Science). They offers some certifications course in Astrophysics. Hope

Hello Shrankhala,It is indeed great to hear from you that you have a great dream of becoming an astronaut. Actually speaking, anyone can become an astronaut provided his / her speciality is required in space. US has wide spectrum of professions from which astronauts are selected. In Indian perspective, the choice is going to remain within fighter pilot category unless ISRO thinks differently. So, it all depends on right person at right place that will make him / her an astronaut. Best wishes to you.

It would be tough to get what you want. You can rather go for aeronautical engineering.
