Educational Requirements for Astronomy:
Most astronomy positions require a Ph.D in the field of astronomy, which usually takes 5-7 years to complete. These programs are likely to contain courses in astrophysics, stellar and planetary physics, galaxies, cosmology, interstellar medium and optics. Mathematics and computer science are also emphasized. After completing a Ph.D. programme, aspiring astronomers often enter one or more postdoctoral research positions, which can take roughly 2-3 years to complete.

In today's time, the scope of astronomy in India is very good but not so vast as like in foreign countries and it takes at least eight to nine years to complete the course and you have to do Ph.D also. But if you have interest in this, I would advice you go for it even I want to do Ph.D in astronomy. Astronomy's scope is currently increasing in India so in five to six years this will gonna be a very big network. If you want to do it in less time, I will suggest you do it abroad as it takes less time.

You can opt for astrophysics. Also, the course is offered in very limited colleges. Try to find out the best. IISC campus is an option where you can get opportunities to know more about astronomy.

If you are interested in design of structures or structural analysis, then there is lot scope in space research field. But, the field of civil engineering is very broad. You can get down into the finite elements of materials, or you can research broad general construction methods.
