Hi Mayank,
Before you decide what to do it is important that you become aware of a critical factor for success in your chosen profession. Your exam scores are one part of it considering how competitive it is to land a seat in the hallowed campuses of the IITs and other prestigious institutions.
There are numerous branches of space science - astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, stellar science, planetary science, etc. Originally, all these disciplines were considered as part of astronomy but with recent developments and discoveries they have become vast enough to be considered as separate fields on their own. Experts in fields such as:
1. Robotics.
2. Satellite technology.
3. Medicine.
4. Biology.
5. Remote sensing.
6. Meteorology, etc. may also seek careers in space science after developing the skill sets necessary for the job.
There are quite a few institutes in India that train students for pursuing careers in space science and technology. The recently established Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) offers graduate and postgraduate programs in space science and related fields. Apart from IIST, a few other institutes like:
1. The Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC).
2. ISRO Satellite Centre (ISAC).
3. Space Application centre (SAC).
4. National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA).
5. Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) also offer research opportunities in space science and allied fields.
Some of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) also offer specialization programs (M.Tech) in Space Technology, Astrophysics, Aerospace engineering etc. The eligibility criteria for joining programs in space science and technology vary according to the specific requirements of each job.
Admissions to the undergraduate courses at the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) is made on the basis of a candidate's rank in the Joint entrance Examination conducted by IITs. In other places, candidates with B.Sc, M.Sc, BE, ME or Ph.D are usually selected. Study of science subjects such as Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry at undergraduate level is usually a mandatory requirement.
However, before you join a career in space science, it is necessary for you to know the various requirements of the field - which skills to develop, which courses to take, where to study.
I hope it helps.
Wish you luck!

Hi Utkarsh,
The options are unlimited, as you have done your class 12 with science. With the combination of biology, physics and chemistry you can take up medicine, dentistry, Pharmacy, agricultural science, dairy science or biological sciences (biochemistry, biotechnology, Microbiology).
Apart from doing the degree level courses in science with the conventional combinations you can also choose degree courses in several emerging professional areas, such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing, computer, business administration, hotel management, tourism management etc. you can also opt for courses outside the university stream, such as hotel management, fashion technology, industrial design, packaging, aircraft maintenance engineering, government accredited computer courses and a host of post 10 + 2 level vocational courses. For pursuing a course in engineering you should have Maths as compulsory subject in 10+2.
However, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, Website: www.aiims.ac.in or www.aiims.edu, offers B.Tech (Biotechnology) with Class XII with Physics, Chemistry and Biology. To get admission in the top medical college in India you would need to score above 90% in 12th and do very well in entrance exam.
With a PCM combination of subjects, you can pursue almost any field you set your mind on. You can of course do engineering which is a professional degree and has streams such as Electrical, Mechanical, Electronic and Communication etc. You can do your graduation in subjects of your interest, even switching to Humanities or Commerce streams if you so desire.
You can do a BCA (Computer Applications), BBA (Business Administration), Law, Civil Aviation – Pilot, Astronomy, Architecture, Design, Mass Communication, Merchant Navy, Defense Forces, Psychology, Civil Services etc. To decide on the course, you should analyze your strengths, career goals, interests, personality, aptitude and ability. If you decide based on these parameters you will put in your best effort and will be successful in your chosen field.

Hi,
There are various career options available these days. However, I would recommend that you first concentrate on your 09th standard as it is very crucial in setting up a firm foundation.
Before you decide what to do after 09th, it is important that you become aware of a critical factor for success in your chosen profession. Your exam scores are one part of it considering how competitive it is to land a seat in the hallowed campuses of the IITs and other prestigious institutions.
Science, Commerce & Humanities are the three streams available after 10th for 11th & 12th class studies and you have to choose one of them for your further studies.
Science: it is the gateway to professional courses and career options such as engineering and medicine. Also, students from a science background can apply for commerce, humanities courses in college but the same does not hold true the other way around.
Commerce: students who are serious about pursuing a career in finance, accounts, chartered accountancy, economics, banking, business and management. Students from a commerce background are eligible to apply for humanities courses in college as the eligibility criteria for most humanities courses are English in 11th &12th.
Humanities: This stream will fit students who are interested in courses such as history, political science, literature, arts, dance, music etc.
With the combination of biology, physics and chemistry you can take up medicine, dentistry, Pharmacy, agricultural science, dairy science or biological sciences (biochemistry, biotechnology, Microbiology). Apart from doing the degree level courses in science with the conventional combinations you can also choose degree courses in several emerging professional areas, such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing, computer, business administration, hotel management, tourism management etc. you can also opt for courses outside the university stream, such as hotel management, fashion technology, industrial design, packaging, aircraft maintenance engineering, government accredited computer courses and a host of post 10 + 2 level vocational courses. For pursuing a course in engineering you should have Mathematics as compulsory subject in 10+2.
All the best!

Hi Vishnu,
To become a dietitian there are many paths that you can choose to reach your goal. There is option of Certificate/Diploma in Nutrition and Dietetics which you may pursue after you graduation. Other than these Certificate/Diploma courses, if you want to do intense study you may choose B.Sc in Food Technology or B.Sc Home Science.
For selection of subjects at school level keeping in view subjects required for above mentioned courses I would recommend choose what you like. But for sake of easing out your confusion let me tell you that students from all stream (Science/Commerce/Humanities) are permitted to enroll in these courses but students from Science background are given preference (colleges provide 3%-5% relaxation). They calculate PCB as well as PCM but few institutes stresses on PCBM. So if you want to increase your chances of your enrollment/ admission you may take biology.
P.S. Not all graduate can go for Diploma/ Certificate in Nutrition and Dietetics, you must have passed B.Sc. Home Science (Pass/Hons.) or B.Sc. Food Technology (Hons.),B.Sc. Microbiology, B.Sc. Biochemistry, B.Sc., Nursing, MBBS.
