For astrobiology you would need to do a masters degree followed by research program abroad.
In India,you can do short-term course conducted by institute like M.P. Birla Institute of Fundamental Research of the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan ,Osmania University ,Mahatma Gandhi University
***There are not many educational institutions that offer astrobiology degrees, so students will want to pursue degrees in astronomy, geology, chemistry, or related fields.
