Hi Harmesh,
You can go ahead but I would advice you to pick a degree course preferable BCA as this will help you understand the core basics.
To add on, for being a professional ethical hacker you require motivation, dedication, initiative, self-education and formal training in ethical hacking. I would like to suggest a few points:-
1. Know about the different types of hackers, such as White Hat, Grey Hat and Black Hat hackers
2. Evaluate your strengths and interests and gain some programming knowledge such as C, or Java.
3. Learn the UNIX operating system as it is regarded as the original operating system built by hackers.

Hi Mrinal!
It is important to understand what "good" actually means. If you are interested in the development and environment sector and are driven by a sense of purpose to contribute to the society, IIFM is place where you need to be. But If you are interested in a hard core MBA and if you measure success by the amount of money you earn, you will be disappointed by IIFM. In fact, I would say the avg. in hand package nowadays is around 6 lks p.a not 7. What IIFM will give you is a career (if u want it) not a job and it is very important to understand the difference between the two. Just to substantiate on the point I am trying to make, I got 97 percentile in CAT2013 and converted calls from 6 IIMs, TISS, IRMA and other "premier" institutes but chose IIFM bcoz i wanted to have a 'career' in the environment sector and hence the easy decision. And I am very happy with the decision that I had made. I think you should introspect and ask yourself about your priorities b4 you make that important decision.
