Astronomy

Yes, B.Sc. Mathematics (Hons.) from DU, BHU, etc. can be a good base for space science, but you'll need higher studies. After graduation, you can pursue M.Sc. in Mathematics, Physics, or Astronomy, and then appear for exams like JAM, JEST, or GATE to enter institutes such as IIST, IUCAA, or even ISRO. With the right specialisation and research focus, a strong math background can definitely lead you into space science.

For BTech, minimum eligibility dictates qualification of Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced) exam. After ensuring that he/she is eligible, candidates then may apply fo counseling. Similarly, the minimum eligibility for M.Tech and MSc is that candidate must have a valid GATE score. Admissions are based on the aggregate marks scored in entrance exams. There is no provision for direct admission to IIST - Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology without qualifying Joint Entrance Examination.
