No, the NEET is not required for pursuing a course in Astronomy. NEET exam is for students who wish to study UG Medical and Dental courses (MBBS/BDS) or postgraduate medical courses (MD/MS) in India. Meanwhile, Astronomy is not related to the medical field.

Building instruments is a common activity among Astronomers and is a specialized area of engineering. Electrical, computer, mechanical, and optical engineering are typically used in moderation. Knowledge of computer science can also be helpful because almost all astronomers crunch data. 

It is ideal for a student to gain graduate-level proficiency in Math and Physics before focusing on Astronomy and Astrophysics. A BTech or BE engineer with an interest in Astronomy and Astrophysics can work as a research scholar in the field.

Indeed! Astronomy courses are available at various levels like UG, PG, Doctorate, and certification. Some popular Astronomy courses include

• Certificate: Certificate in Astronomy
• UG: BSc in Astronomy/Astrophysics, Space Science
• PG: MSc in Astronomy/Astrophysics, Space Science
• Doctorate: Ph.D. in Astronomy/Astrophysics

Astronomy courses are designed to study about the physical universe. It goes beyond the earth's atmosphere like the moon, sun, planets, stars, meteors, etc. As an Astronomy student, you'll get to learn about the basic principles of Physics and Mathematics for astronomical observations.

The research, development, hospitality, and other sectors are also evolving with advancing technology and the field of Biology has also seen some drastic changes over the years. Hence, the new developments that are being adopted by the field of Biological Science include Advanced Genome Sequencing Solutions, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning in data interpretation, Tissue Engineering, CRISPR technology for gene editing, and more. These developments open doors to breakthroughs as well as new employment opportunities for Biology students.

Genetics, Stem cell Biology, Immunochemistry, Neurobiology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Bioinformatics, and Cancer Biology are some great fields of Biology that have a lot of scope in the research sector. The integration of technical advancements in these fields is creating new and better job opportunities, along with advanced learning options.

Though every branch of Biology leads to numerous research and breakthroughs, in my opinion, Microbiology, Genomics & Genetics, Neuroscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry are some of the branches advancing at a pace, creating new scope for research and employment.
