Scope for Astrophysics
Astrophysics is a subject that is taken by many Indian students. Many institutions within the country offer students with the postgraduate level courses in Astronomy or astrophysics. The qualification required to join this program is a pass in the graduate level. Students must have taken physics as one of the subjects. More details about the scope of astrophysics are given below.
Institutes in India that offer courses in Astrophysics:
These are a few of the top institutions in our country that provide PG level courses in Astrophysics. A few of those institutions comprise of:
- Punjabi University, Patiala
- Banglore University
- Burdwan University
- Calcutta University
- Delhi University
- Gauhati University
- Gujarat University
- Gorakhpur University
- Indian Institute of Science
- Jadavpur University
- Kashmir University
- Kumaon University
- Lucknow University
- Madurai Kamaraj University
- Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam
- Pune University
- Punjab University
- Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University, Raipur
- Roorkee University
- Swami Ramanand Teerth University, Nanded
- Inter-University Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics; Pune
- Joint Astronomy Programme (JAP), Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore
Those candidates who have a Masters degree in the relevant discipline and have high scores can appear for the Joint Entrance Screening Test (JEST). Those who clear this exam with good marks can get admittance to the Ph.D. programmes.
Personal skills
Aspirants who desire to join the field of Astrophysics or Astronomy need to have a scientific blend of mind. Besides this, they also need to have the aptitude to work for long periods at a time. One other quality that is needed for all astronomers is perseverance. As a project will take quite some time to finish, they need to be determined. In addition to this, good programming skills are also required for candidates who aspire to join astrophysics.
Career prospects
Once students have completed all their studies, they can get jobs with top firms within India or overseas. Aspirants can also look forward for a job as Research Scientists with Institutions involved in Research. Jobs are available for astrophysicists with organizations such as:
- Aryabhata Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES), Nainital
- Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), Bangalore
- Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)
- Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA), Pune
- National Centre for Radio Astrophysics, TIFR (Pune)
- Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad
- Raman Research Institute (RRI), Bangalore
- Space Science Centre, ISRO, Thiruvananthapuram
- Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai
It is also possible for candidates to get jobs with organizations such as the Bangalore Amateur Astronomers (ABAA). The best thing about a career in astrophysics is that one will get the opportunity to travel to distant places and take part in international seminars as well as conventions. They will have the chance to meet many famous people in the world of Astronomy.

respected sir i have completed B. Sc. in physics and chemistry and i am very much interested in astrophysics. so can u please help me out giving guidance about M.Sc. astrophysics .my cell no is 7405223736.you can even message me i will call you.
thank you sir.
what steps i take to study astrophysics after secand pue science
after giving which entrance i can study astrophysics directly after 12th
what are the steps that a science student must take for making a carreer in astrophysics or what are the courses that one must accomplish for astrophysics?
Hello, I am a BTech Computer Science student. Now I would like to enter in to astrophysics field. Kindly make me clear about the path i hve to follow
i (manish joshi) want to become an astrophysicist from my
childhood age but due to certain reason i didn’t got this branch. By mistake i take computer science & engineering,
i which i don’t have any kind of insterest in it. But from my level of knowledge i can develop theory on basis of law of physics in that i have given various types of explaination related to astrocompuer. we can easily watch our future with the help of astrocomputer. one day i possible such impossible thing.
can u give me answer how can i applied for astrophysics after completed my B.E IN computer science & engineering & what is the processor for that..???
please reply as soon as possible.
your faithfully- manish joshi
