But they take admission solely on the basis of JEE Advanced. I'll be giving JEE Advanced on 27th May but I think I not that well prepared for it. Please guide me and thank you for answering.

Hello RK xx If what you are saying is correct then surely engineering is not the solution. You should think of doing B.Sc. With Physics then specialisation in astrophysics. In this way only you will achieve dream of yours. Best wishes to you.

I can think of two paths after graduation. One is PG+doctoral studies in Indian Institute of Astrophysics. See attached link. https://www.iiap.res.in/ Another is again post graduation in TIFR. YES, you can pursue both these options after your B.Tech also.
