Now, I am studying in 10th and will be writing my 10th Board exams in the upcoming session. I am interested to take Astrophysics. So, which stream and subject combination should I opt in 11th and 12th? And, how much marks I should score in 10th and 12th to study Astrophysics degree courses from a good college?

*B.Sc. in Astrophysics is a three year undergraduate course.

*Eligibility criteria is 10+2 with physics, chemistry and maths.
Minimum aggregate score of 50% with maths and physics as main subjects.

*Most colleges take admission on the basis of merit while some colleges conduct entrance examinations for admission. So you should score in 90% because the cut off of good colleges is always high.

You should opt PCM Combination to pursue degree course in Astrophysics.

The candidate must have studied Mathematics and Physics as the main subjects in class 12th. The candidate must have acquired a minimum aggregate of 50% in the qualifying examination to pursue Astrophysics degree course.

The required eligibility to get admission in three year bachelor degree in Astrophysics is that candidate must have passed 12th from a recognised board in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as main paper.

The admission procedure varies with institutions. So, you can visit the official website to get detail information about the admission procedure.

For Bachelor's degree in Astrophysics, the minimum academic qualification required is senior secondary board examination passed from a recognized board with Physics and Mathematics.

Physics and Mathematics are necessary subjects for this course. If you want to pursue bachelor's degree in this stream, then you must select science stream with PCM subject group.

The minimum percentage of marks in most of the colleges is 60%. Higher is the percentage of marks better is the chance of getting admission in good college for this course.
