I am in 12th and my subjects are PCB. I am interested in studying cosmology but I don't know anything about it. Can you help me with that?

Well, basically, if you actually love cosmology you can watch documentaries on YouTube by Dr. Brian Green, Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson, Dr. Michio Kaku (He's a string theorist). You will enjoy it but practically when you've to work you need enormous knowledge of mathematics to do physics as obviously mathematics is tool for expressing laws of nature in physics as you're in 12th and didn't studied mathematics at all then it's not easy to get Bachelor's in physics, because you must have done Basic mathematics and calculus which is to be done in 11-12, just checkout whether it's just affection that you found few interesting thing about Cosmology or you're actually interested, because learning facts is easy but conducting experiments, doing mathematical modelling of physical stuffs is harder than that you might be assuming so just make clear what your actual aim is and if you just actually love reading facts about I can also suggest you some amazing scientific novels by scientists which can help you gather more knowledge and you can also be a good Science communicator first just make sure with your decisions.

Hi Sunita, The minimum eligibility required to be met for admission to the course is a 10+2 qualification from a recognised educational Board with Physics and Mathematics as two of the main subjects with a minimum aggregate score of 50% A few institutes in India also conduct a Common Entrance Examination for admission to the course wherein admission is based on the candidates performance in both 10+2 examination and the entrance test.

Hi Sunita! The first step towards this profession is to acquire a Bachelors degree either in the physics / mathematics with honours or a Bachelors degree in engineering with a relevant trade like Computer Science, Electronics and Communication etc. After acquiring this Bachelors degree in the physics/mathematics or for that matter in engineering one has to go for master degree followed by a Doctorate to do research of such a high level. For doing Ph.D. one should appear for the Joint Entrance Screening Test (JEST) Institutes to study cosmology in India Institutes of Space Science and Technology, TrivandrumIndian Institute of Astrophysics, BangaloreTata Institute of Fundamental Research, PuneRaman Research Institute, BangalorePhysical Research laboratory, AhmedabadIndian Institute of Sciences, Bangalore.
