Can I do M.Sc in astrophysics after doing B.Tech from IIT?

Dear Abhinav, Astrophysics is a subject that is taken by many Indian students.The qualification required to join this program is a pass in the graduate level. Students must have taken physics as one of the subjects or Bachelor of Engineering (BE) in Electrical / Electronics/ Electrical Communications. An engineer with a B. Tech or BE degree could also enter the field as a research scholar. 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. 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 For more, I would request Nikhlesh Mathur to share his expertise. Thanks All The Best

Thanks a lot Aneeket and @aditya-kumar Every institute has their own criteria for admission. However, if you have studied Physics and Mathematics at undergraduate level (B.Sc.) with minimum 45 %, you are eligible for the course. Universities offer the courses as M.Sc. Astronomy or M.Sc. Astrophysics You may also decide about integrated M.Sc. Ph.D in astrophysics from Indian Institute of Astrophysics Other options are Osmania University, Hyderabad University of Pune Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Mumbai (Most recommended) St. Xaviers College Kolkata @aneeket has also given valuable suggestion above, you must refer them too
