It is a good suggestion. You are also advised to obtain Flying licence to fulfill your dream. By the way in India , first two astronauts came from Indian Air Force fighter flying branch.

Hi Navitha,
To become an astronaut you have to get these basic requirements-
-Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in engineering, biological science, physical science, or mathematics.
- Should be a citizen of India
-Should be at least 21 years of age by the time you join. Age relaxation is there for SC/ST candidates.
-At least 1,000 hours pilot-in-command time in jet aircraft. Flight test experience is highly desirable.
After graduation, candidates can appear for the entrance exam which is held by NASA for the recruitment of scientists, Astronauts etc.
Hope it helps.
