Science

Hi Gagan,
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 robotics, satellite technology, medicine, biology, remote sensing, meteorolog 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 the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), ISRO Satellite Centre (ISAC), Space Application centre (SAC), National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA), 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., B.E., M.E. or Ph.D. are usually selected. Study of science subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, 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.

Wish you luck.

Hi Shivendra,
Hi Deep,
Candidates who want to pursue Masters degree programmes in science should have completed three-years Bachelor degree programme in a related stream from a recognized university.
Some universities specify a cutoff or minimum marks that one should have in graduation to be eligible for the M.Sc programmes they offer. Others might ask applicants to appear for entrance exams or interviews or both to prove their competence and knowledge in the subject area they choose.
Higher study options after completing B.Sc in Mathematics:-
Master of Science in Financial Mathematics
Master of Science in Social Research Methods and Statistics
Master of Science in Mathematical Trading and Finance
Master of Science in Mathematics and Computing for Finance
Master of Science in Statistics with Applications in Medicine
Master of Science in Operational Research and Finance
Master of Science in Applied Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing
Master of Science in Pure Mathematics
Master of Science in Mathematical economics
Master of Science in Bio-statistics
Master of Science in Applied Mathematics
Master of Science in Agricultural Statistics
Master of Science in Mathematical Statistics
Master of Science in Statistics
Master of Science in Pure Mathematics
Master of Science in Computational Mathematics
Master of Arts in Mathematics
Master of Arts in Mathematical Statistics
Master of Philosophy in Applied Mathematics
Master of Philosophy in Mathematics
Master of Philosophy in Statistics
Master of Philosophy in Computing and Mathematical Sciences
Ph.D in Mathematics
Ph.D in Math Education
Career Prospects:-
A two-year programme, an M.Sc programme can either be academic in nature for those who want to pursue teaching or research as a career, or may be application-based, for those who want to join an industry after completing the course.
While an academic M.Sc programme can lead to further studies or a doctoral-level science programme in related field worldwide, an applied science M.Sc programme is usually considered a terminal degree abroad.

Hi Sumit,
If you mean commercial pilot then please remember in order to become a commercial pilot you must have completed your Class XII under the 10+2 system or its equivalent with a minimum of 50% marks in Mathematics and Physics.
Training in commercial flying can be taken with Flying clubs, the Rashtriya Udan Academy, Private Flying academies.
The training goes through 3 stages of licence.
The licences have to be procured in the following order:
1. Student Pilot Licence (SPL)
2. Private Pilot Licence (PPL)
3. Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL)
- After Class XI/XII (with PCM) students can apply for the SPL.
- On passing Class XII(PCM) they may enroll for the next licence -PPL.
- On getting the PPL training begins for CPL.
Details of the Licences:
Student pilot licence can be taken at flying clubs in every State . It is a theory exam.
Eligibility - Age of 16 years minimum and pass in Class X. A medical certificate of fitness, security clearance and a bank guarantee is required.
Selection - Candidates taking the SPL test have to appear in an oral examination on a fixed day every month. Candidates have to enroll a month before the examination. Selected candidates go through a medical test and the Pilot Aptitude Test.
Private pilot licence is a practical training. A total of 60 hours of flying is needed of which 20 hours minimum should be solo and 5 hours cross country.There is a theory examination also.
Commercial pilot licence requires flying training for 190 hours to complete 250 hours of flying.
Feel free to raise more questions. Appreciate by giving it thumbs up or marking as best.
All the Best.
