Hi,
After you are done with class 12th grade, and you have got good grades, you need to focus on a good Bachelor's degree from a recognized university. One could choose a course in Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Biology, or Aerospace Engineering. After you are done with graduation, you can sit for the exam, which is held by NASA for the recruitment of scientists and astronauts. Or in order to join ISRO one needs to clear the Joint Entrance Exam which is held by the IITs. And in order to be a mission specialist, you will need 3 years of related and responsible experience.
