The aspirant can study 12th standard with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics subjects. After the graduation course you can join M.Sc Astrophysics. The course is available in leading institutions like Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Indian Institute of Science etc. After the course you can study PhD in the same line to become an Astronaut. So concentrate on your studies now and study well. There are lots of articles available in the internet regarding how to become an Astronaut; you can also read them to get some idea.

It is very difficult for you to get PCM in class 11th in your School as your School provides admission to those candidates who have scored 8.0 CGPA. As you have scored less marks than the cut off marks, it will be harsh for you to get admission. However you could try in your School with the above mentioned marks as you are from that school, you may get consideration for it.
To become an Astronaut you must have completed your Ph.D in Physics or Astronomy subjects in order to be eligible to get selected by NASA or IISRO.
