Dear Adbhutam,

Yes, you can be an assistant professor. You are eligible for it. But, you must need to have knowledge to teach first. Some institutes even demand experience of teaching the specific subject you are going to teach in. So, you can enquire from the respected institute/University as well. Spme Universities demand similar degree which has to be studied. It varies from University to university. Feel free to drop any query related to this or else.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck :)
