Hello,

Astronomy is actually the part of physics and I think for you to be eligible for that you should have B.Sc in physics or B.Tech in Engineering Physics. You can check the website-Indian Institute of Astrophysics.

Now, coming to your question you can apply Msc in geology, geography, geophysics or applied geology in universities or IITs through JAM.

Hope it helps!

Good Luck
