Thanks for you prompt response. The institures you listed require JEST i believe.

--Could you please advice me on how to prepare for JEST.

--Also some good books to revise mathematical skills of standard 11/12 and B.tech required for further study in the field of astronomy.

--Also i read in one of the previous posts which said that there is a course of Msc astronomy in patiala university. but it no longer there, though its listed on the website.

Thanks in advance.
