You need to study physics and mathematics and do sufficiently well to pursue a career in astronomy. The options are few, thus competition is fierce.

Yes, you can pursue M.Sc in astrophysics but only in theoretical astronomy. For others, engineering is required to pursue higher studies in this. You can refer to below article for this.

No, Astronomy courses are a combination of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics to make astronomical observations. Hence, you are required to have PCM/PCMB subjects in your Class 12 to be eligible for Astronomy courses.
