Science

Astronomy is a very broad field of Science divided into 4 categories: Astrophysics, Astrochemistry,  Astrobiology, and Astrogeology. They require strong basics in Physics, Mathematics, and skills to analyse data and develop theoretical models. Below are some of the degrees under Astronomy.

• B.Sc. in Astrophysics
• Integrated M.Sc .- Ph.D. in Astrophysics
• M.Sc and Ph.D Astronomy and Astrophysics Integrated
• M.Sc. in Astrophysics
• M.Sc Astronomy and Space Physics
• M.Tech Ph.D Astronomical Instrumentation

Usually there's no age criteria for degree courses, however, given below exams may require you to be within a specific age:

• National Standard Examination in Astronomy (NSEA): Students must be between 14 and 19 years old when they enroll for the NSEA. 
• Indian National Astronomy Olympiad (INAO): Students must be in Class 12 or below.
• International Astronomy Olympiad (IAO): Students must be in group Alpha (14–15 years old) or group Beta (16–18 years old). 
• International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics (IOAA): Students must be under the age of 20. 

Yes, you can pursue MSW degree after graduating with Life Sciences or with a BSc degree in general. However, you can also look into the prerequisites defined by the university you want to get admission into. Entrance criteria for MSW courses also vary from college to college. Most of the universities accept MSW admission against any UG degree. 

For instance, one university may only require a basic UG degree to pursue the MSW course; whereas, some other university may require the candidates to clear entrance exams and appear for interviews along with a basic UG degree to get admission into an MSW course.

No, it is not always mandatory to do B.Lib.Sc course before a M.Lib.Sc. Many universities accept candidates from any bachelor’s degree discipline, but some prioritize those students who have a B.Lib.Sc or equivalent background.
Not having a B.Lib.Sc does not impact the master’s study since many programs include introductory courses in M.Lib.Sc to help students who do have library Science background to speed up the progress.

Pharmacognosy is close to Botany because it study plants, tiny bugs and also other nature things for medicine. You need to know plants to find, collect and even test them for medicine.

If you know plants you can find right plants to study, know where they grow, how to grow them and how to take out the good stuff for medicine.

Yes, having a BSc Agriculture doesn't necessarily disqualify one from pursuing an MSc in Pharmacognosy. Although admission criteria may vary between universities, many MSc programs consider applicants from diverse academic backgrounds.

BSc Agriculture offers relevant knowledge in areas such as plant biology, cultivation, or natural product extraction, which could be beneficial in the field of Pharmacognosy. Candidates may need to demonstrate their interest and aptitude for Pharmacognosy by highlighting relevant coursework, research experience, or any additional training related to this field.

The course curriculum for Astronomy includes a range of subjects that cover the study of celestial objects and phenomena. Students learn fundamental physics concepts, such as mechanics and electromagnetism, to apply to celestial bodies and processes. Mathematics, particularly algebra, and calculus, is also crucial for data analysis and modelling.

Astronomy needs a lot of skills and expertise in the field-related concepts. The ability to solve complicated problems, conduct research, analyse data, Maths, Physics and knowledge in basic Scientific subjects are the most important capabilities.
