Plz show me d pathway to becom an astornaut after doing my 12th frm science side

Hi, to become an astronaut you
need to apply to NASA after your
graduation. NASA selects
astronauts from a diverse pool of
applicants with a wide variety of
backgrounds. From the
thousands of applications
received, only a few are chosen
for the intensive Astronaut
Candidate training program. The
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration announce the
opportunity to apply for the
position of Astronaut Candidate
to support the International
Space Station Program. Selections
are made on an as needed basis.
NASA announces candidates
every two years, selecting about
a hundred men and women out
of thousands of applicants. For
further details check
www.nasajobs.nasa.gov/
astronauts/default.htm.�Those
who opt for this field should
pass their plus two examination
under the science stream,
especially in physics and math's.
For pursuing a career in
theoretical or observational
astronomy one may go through
the science stream after plus
two. Since universities offering
undergraduate programme in
Astronomy are rarely found, one
can join for a major/ honours in
Physics with Mathematics as a
subsidiary subject. Thereafter,
take a master's degree in Physics
or Astronomy. After the
successful completion of MSc,
one can do specialization in
astronomy leading to Ph. D.
which enables one to become an
astronomer/ astronaut/
astrophysicist or a scientist/
research officer etc. in the field of
space research. Hope this helps.
All the best.

you can do B.tech in aeronautic engineering from IIT bombay or IIT kanpur

for that you have to clear the entrance exam IIT-JEE

OR



you can join B.tech in aeronautic engineering in NITS at TIRUCIL and ROURKELA and BITS after clearing exam like AIEEE.

You can also do BE in aeronautical engineering at the INDIAN INSTITUTION OF
AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING DEHRADUN and at madras institute of technology in chennai.

as

NASA takes in specialist from different discipline including aeronautical engineering.

An astronaut or cosmonaut is a person trained by a human spaceflight program to command, pilot, or serve as a crew member of a spacecraft. While generally reserved for professional space travelers, the terms are sometimes applied to anyone who travels into space, including scientists, politicians, journalists, and tourists.
