In order to become an Astronomer ,the stream you should take in 10+2 is:-

>>Science with Physics,Chemistry and Mathematics.

In order to get jobs in NASA/ISRO you will require Engineering degree in the following stream:-

>>Electronics and Communication Engineering.
>>Computer science and Engineering.
>>Mechanical Engineering.
>>Electrical Engineering.
>>Chemical Engineering.
>>Instrumentation Engineering.
>>Metallurgical Engineering.
>>Information Technology.
etc.

Thus in Order to do any one these course,you will have to appear in Joint Entrance Exam means you will have to do Engineering course.

In order to Engineering course,you will have to appear in JEE Exam.

The Eligibility for JEE Exam is as Follows:-

Educational Qualification:-

In Valiamala near Trivandrum,Kerala there is an institute named Indian Institute Of Space Science And Technology,under Government of India,Department of space.It offer courses like Aerospace Engineering(60 seats),Avonics(60 seats),and Physical Sciences(36 seats).The admission is through JEE Advanced rank list.

which college should i choose after 10 2?is their any competitive exams on that field?

i think you marks should be more than almost 80%(not sure) for a good postion.... you in order to join isro should have done bsc. and further mtech..may be....but you should be best in what you do

hi;
i am very much interested about studying planets, satellites,so on .

In IIST , they make a separate rank list of students who have applied . The rank list is made by giving 60%imp to jee main and 40% to your board's normalized score . However , you should have some required marks in jee advanced according to your category . For , gen , it is 6 in all three subjects and at least 72 aggregate marks in jee advanced .

I think you should go for IIA (Indian Institute of Astrophysics). Just see what is it and what qualification you need to go to IIA. I think the whole course will be approx. 10 yrs after 12th std :/ which is pretty long time... but this is what astrophysics is!... you still have to study after completing course bcause in astrophysics, you will have to constantly 'study' (here, study means taking a paper n a pen n just solving some tough equation which is kinda NORMAL for a astrophysicist)....
So, my final suggestion is go for IIA.... just see tat in wikipedia. u'll see everything you want there n if not, go to its official site)
