Hi there,

I'd like to know if a person who has pursued his engineering in Information Technolgy can switch line and take up furthur studies in Astro Physics? If yes, could you list the possible ways in which one can atleast kick off?

Thanks,

Hi Smita

Here is a list of institutes which offer post graduate and doctoral studies in astrophysics in India.

The eligibility for these programs may vary although most programs expect a Physics and Math background. You may have to contact individual institutes. Doctoral studies generally require an MSc degree in the subject or a very strong physics background along with an entrance exam.
