My son is studying 9th CBSE . Tamilnadu. He is average students he is very interested about astro physics. Just I joined him JEE. We need further guidance

Ans: Hello Manoharan
Please ask him to focus more on the foundation classes of JEE. For astrophysics, please visit the websites of the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) or the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) for more details. To excel more, try to explore more about the following examinations: (1) National Standard Examination in Astronomy (NSEA) (2) Indian National Astronomy Olympiad (INAO) (3) International Olympiad in Astronomy and Astrophysics (IOAA) (4) National Astronomy & Science Olympiad (NASO). These exams are related to space science. Astrophysics is also related to space. Hence both are mutually associated. The IITs provide opportunities to study and research astronomy and astrophysics, they are not specifically dedicated to these fields.

If satisfied, please like and follow me.
If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
Thanks.

Ans: Hi,

If your son is interested in pursuing a career in astrophysics through JEE Mains, it's important to ensure that he has a strong foundation in physics and mathematics. He can pursue these subjects through the PCM stream, which will also prepare him for the JEE Mains exam.

After qualifying JEE Mains, your son can appear for JEE Advanced, which is the entrance exam for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and other top engineering colleges. If your son qualifies JEE Advanced, he can consider pursuing a degree in engineering or physics, which can serve as a stepping stone towards a career in astrophysics.

Apart from formal education, your son can also explore internships and research opportunities in astrophysics. This can help him gain hands-on experience and develop a deeper understanding of the subject.

Ultimately, the decision to pursue a career in astrophysics through JEE Mains should depend on your son's interests, strengths, and career goals. It's important to have an open and honest conversation with your son to understand his aspirations and work together to create a plan that aligns with his interests and abilities.


Also, several engineering colleges in India offer courses in astronomy and astrophysics, but there are currently no colleges that offer an engineering degree specifically in astrophysics.

However, there are several colleges and universities in India that offer undergraduate and postgraduate programs in physics and astronomy, which can serve as a strong foundation for pursuing a career in astrophysics. Some of the top colleges and universities in India that offer courses in physics and astronomy include:

Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore
Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur
Delhi University, Delhi
University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad
Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST), Thiruvananthapuram
Pune University, Pune
