Hello,
to become an astronaut, you should have to choose science stream in your 11th and 12th class with subjects like physics,chemistry and maths combination(PCM)...and you should have to get minimum 65% to get admission in aeronautical engineering or airspace engineering course to become an astronaut...
so all the best.
