Hi,
What should be the qualification as I have completed my 12th and I need the details to do the course as I am interested in Astronomy? What should I do to study Astronomy?

You can apply for admission when the concerned university releases admission notification. Normally, admission will be on the basis of performance in entrance exam.
Some universities even give admission based on the marks in class 12th board exams. The good thing is that any stream students can apply for admission in this course.
