Which stream should I take after my plus two education to become an astronaut in NASA? Is there possibility for becoming an astronaut in NASA or not if we study in India? Can you please give me the complete information on the same?

Thank you!

Hello dear,
NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It is the national space research agency of USA.So mainly people having Course done with Astrophysics,Aeronautical engineering, space and research engineering, etc get chances to work to NASA.
But there are also so many options that you have to get admitted in NASA. You can also complete engineering with CSE branch to et admitted their because there is a huge demand in NASA for computer software engineers to look over the Space missions from control room.
So,you can log on to NASA's jobs page for more details.
Best of luck!

To join the NASA as a Astronaut you should join the Aeronautical or Aerospace stream in the Graduation for this you have to qualify the entrance of either JEE Main or JEE Advanced exam and then have to apply for the online counselling where you will be allotted a college for the Graduation and after the Graduation in any of these stream you can apply for the NASA space research center.
