Since universities offering undergraduate programme in Astronomy are rarely found, one can join for a major/ honours in Physics with Mathematics as a subsidiary subject. Thereafter, take a master's degree in Physics or Astronomy. After the successful completion of M.Sc. One can do specialisation in astronomy leading to Ph.D. which enables one to become an astronomer/ astronaut/ astrophysicist or a scientist/ research officer etc. In the field of space research. Please check for your eligibility to pursue B.Sc. Physics from the criteria mentioned below:

Educational Requirements for Astronomy:
Most astronomy positions require a Ph.D in the field of astronomy, which usually takes 5-7 years to complete. These programs are likely to contain courses in astrophysics, stellar and planetary physics, galaxies, cosmology, interstellar medium and optics. Mathematics and computer science are also emphasized. After completing a Ph.D. programme, aspiring astronomers often enter one or more postdoctoral research positions, which can take roughly 2-3 years to complete. They typically work under senior astronomers before taking on more complex projects. Astronomers who are employed by the federal government may need to obtain the proper security clearance.
