Education and Career Forum

I'm currently in 12th std. with pcm (cbse board). I'm highly passionate about astronomy. By your website I came to know about following universities:
Osmania University
Punjab University
Andhra University
Madras University
I want to know all the admission details i.e. eligibility criteria & admission tests & its pattern (If any).
Thank you
Saloni Bhargava

you need have a strong knowledge of physics and maths and good marks in 12th class.
these universities conduct their own test or takan through olympiad conduct every year.

dear friends,
here there are many collge under these univesity, so let me know about which collge you want to know.all the above mention univesity is good and regular and finished the course at the time.there is very good collge under the followings university,
such as the thapar collge is the best in the punjab university
osmaniya university is also very good .

hi
thank you very much for your reply can u give me detalils for all four i.e punjab, osmania, andhra & madras universities so that I can choose the one acc. to my caliber.

what if I hadn't opted for olympiads??????

Thank you very much sir
but JEST requires post graduation & SSC requires graduation & wanted to opt for bsc in astronomy. I'm currently in 12th std with pcm (cbse board).

hi friend,

Actually qualification should also be there for entry in astrophysics, but still you can enter in many ways :
-After 12th, if you choose
-normal graduation(BSc) then: Do it in Maths or Physics , as they are the least qualification that one should acquire to apply for MSc or MSc-PhD .
-Engineering line then must be from these streams: Applied Physics or Computer science or Electrical or Electronics or Instumentation or Mechanical or Photonics/opto-electronics
-After MPhil (For admission in PhD): you should be from : Applied physics or instrumentation or Mathematics or Photonics or physics
-After MTech(For admission in PhD) : you should be from abovesaid streams of engineering
The selection procedure will involve: a screening test, and personal interview at IIA, Bangalore for those candidates shortlisted in the screening test. Candidates qualified in Physics subject in JEST scoring 96 percentile and above, and/or Physics subject in GATE scoring 96 percentile and above, and/or UGC-CSIR-NET for Junior Research Fellowship will be exempted from the screening test.

I have done B.tech in Computer Science..........how can I make my career in astrophysics.My % in B.tech is 70%.........

Hi,
here there are many collge under these univesity, so let me know about which collge you want to know.all the above mention univesity is good and regular and finished the course at the time.there is very good collge under the followings university,

hi.....
Astronomy is the science dealing with all the celestial bodies in the universe. It is the study of the movement, nature and constitution of heavenly bodies. It is also the study of the laws which direct them, as also the effects, which they produce upon one another. For pursuing a career in Theoretical Astronomy/observations, one can do B.Sc. in Physics and /or Mathematics after 10 + 2. Master’s level course in Astronomy with specialization in Theoretical Astronomy is offered by various institutes and universities.
To pursue a career in Instrumentation/Experimental Astronomy, one can do Bachelor of Engineering (BE) in Electrical / Electronics/Electrical Communications, after 10 + 2. Then one can appear for the Joint Entrance Screening Test (JEST) examination, which makes one eligible to do specialization in astronomy leading to Ph. D.
