Hi Pihu,
You can definitely opt for space science after BCA but you will not be eligible for the masters program because it requires Physics as one of the core subjects, so if you are interested in space science you can opt for courses like B.Tech Aerospace etc.
For ISRO, you need to complete the relevant degree and then you have to clear SET(Scientist Entry Test)
All the best

Thanks a lot Aneeket and @aditya-kumar
Every institute has their own criteria for admission. However, if you have studied Physics and Mathematics at undergraduate level (B.Sc.) with minimum 45 %, you are eligible for the course. Universities offer the courses as M.Sc. Astronomy or M.Sc. Astrophysics
You may also decide about integrated M.Sc. Ph.D in astrophysics from Indian Institute of Astrophysics
Other options are
Osmania University, Hyderabad
University of Pune
Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Mumbai (Most recommended)
St. Xaviers College Kolkata
@aneeket has also given valuable suggestion above, you must refer them too
