Is it necessary to do B.Tech to get into NASA? Which are the ideal colleges/branches I should opt for?

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is a US agency specializing in nation's aeronautics, aerospace, and the space program. Through ISRO, you can go to NASA. So, once you complete your engineering from IIST, you can be recruited by ISRO with 3 years of bond. If you are not able to get admission to IIST after your class 12th then you can do engineering in Electronics, Mechanical or computer science field. After completing B.Tech, you can take the exam conducted by ISRO's Centralised Recruitment Board (ICRB). The eligibility for this exam is 65% in engineering in Electronics, Mechanical or computer science. They will say eligibility criteria is 65% for applying online but they shortlist candidates having 75% marks and above in engineering for the written test. So, you should score 75% marks to get shortlisted for the written test. After the written test, they conduct the interviews of shortlisted candidates. After clearing the interview, you will be selected for ISRO. If you get selected in ISRO then work here and try to get the American citizenship and carry on your work in ISRO which will help you gain experience and try to develop something new then NASA invites you or you can get a chance to appear in the exam.

NASA, the most prestigious space and research organization of the world, accepts very few and the most dedicated personalities of the world. These recruitments are done for short time projects, long-term research and work as well as permanent jobs in the research, scientific and technical fields and posts in it. Although, for gaining more and more knowledge and getting into NASA, one must be a Ph.D holder or should prove his excellent research and work done for creating and discovering the things which would worth a degree. Now, when it comes to subject selection, it depends on the interest of the student. Though there are ample opportunities. You can pursue aeronautical and aerospace engineering, astrology, energy engineering, engineering physics and chemistry. The most important thing is not that you have a degree or have the knowledge, they see that how much one is devoted for extracting the most out of the little. Also, other than paper work, one should be extraordinary sharp as the competition is on a huge scale around the globe. Thank you and best of luck.

First of all, it is not possible for you to get into NASA as it only allows US citizens to be part of NASA. If you are some kind of genius than it will be possible as you can gain access to US citizen and then you can join The NASA. If you are still interested in the what NASA do you can always try for ISRO or the partners of NASA. It involves various fields like: Material selection & parts design Design control electronic & electrical systems Telecommunications systems Cryogenic engine design - chemicals Specialised on board Computers and programs For various fields, there are different profession through which you can be part of NASA. Basics requirement are as follows: Bachelor's degree in a STEM field Three years of related professional experience Pass the NASA astronaut physicalNASA is looking for people with a degree in engineering, biological science, physical science (like physics, chemistry or geology) or mathematics. There are various engineering course that you can opt to but you have to also do the Masters in same. And they are as follows: Aerospace engineering Mechanical Engineering Robotics engineering Applied science ENGINEERING Electrical engineering Or Computer science Engineering. To be part of NASA, you need to become the best in your field. Hope it helps.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA): If you are keen to embark upon a voyage of discoveries by getting into the world's topmost space research organization, NASA then you must possess a unique blend of skills and expertise. To be an astronaut at NASA, you need to specialize in aeronautical/ aerospace engineering but people with high expertise and extraordinary skills can only make up their way to NASA. Other than under extremely rare exceptions, you must be a US citizen in order to work for NASA as a civil service employee. If you are not a US citizen, you can consider opportunities with NASA's International Space Partners. They are: Agencia Espacial Brasileira (AEB), Italian Space Agency, Brazilian Space Agency, Canadian Space Agency, Centre National D'Etudes Spatiales, German Aerospace Center (DLR), European Space Agency, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and Russian Federal Space Agency.
