    Yes, specifically for getting into NASA, one should have excellent knowledge talent and hard work. One should have thorough updates about the domain. Aerospace needs a lot of research and thesis which will help you to get you to another level. Also, LPA has collaborations with many foreign universities so one can also choose to study abroad.
