Hi Akshay
Master of Computer Applications (MCA)is a three-year (six semesters) professional Master's Degree in computer science awarded in India. The course was designed to meet the growing demand for qualified professionals in the field of Information Technology. It is a postgraduate course that can be taken up after obtaining a Bachelor's Degree. The MCA programme is inclined more toward Application Development and thus has more emphasis on latest programming language and tools to develop better and faster applications.
The MCA program focuses on providing a sound theoretical background as well as good practical exposure to students in the relevant areas. It is intended to provide a modern, industry-oriented education in applied computer science. It aims at producing trained professionals who can successfully meet the demands of the information technology industry.
Typically,an MCA is a full-time degree course with a duration of three years (six semesters). It covers various aspects of computational theory,programming, algorithm design and optimization, network and database management, mobile technologies, electronics, mathematics, probability,statistics, accounting, finance, etc. Some institutes provide a six years (eleven semesters and six months On Job Training) integrated MCA.
Objectives of the MCA course
The MCA program prepares students to take up positions as system analysts,systems designers, Programmers and managers in any field related to information technology. The program, therefore, aims at imparting comprehensive knowledge with equal emphasis on theory and practice. The MCA students are encouraged to spend a full semester working in the industry in the institute giving them insight into the workings of the IT world. However, the course curriculum will have enough flexibility to enable a student to undertake advance studies in computer science later on.

Hi,
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.
You can Google search for Black Hat Hackers and gain hands on knowledge about them. There are no training institute as such. It is a part of Ethical Hacking curriculum.
Also would suggest you-
**Start experimenting with hardware and software to learn how to take control of the situations and how to prevent a computer from getting hacked.
**Stay connected to the hacker community by sharing technical information and ideas.

Hi,
Germany is a country know for its technical programs and also research programs in Germany are govt. funded (Not management programs), thus you might have to pay a minimum fee ranging from Euro 140- 500.
However as you are planning to pursue Embedded systems, embedded systems is a very rare course in Germany and rather you can try in various universities in U.S. and U.K. where it is a very common course and a lot of universities offer it. Few good universities are:
SUSSEX, KENT, BIRMINGHAM, BRADFORD in U.K. and in U.S. University of Pennsylvania, George Mason University, University of California Irvine etc.
In order to pursue a PhD you need to first prepare your research proposal and send it to the university.
In your proposal you need to write the topic, reason for doing research, how the research will be beneficial and how is it different from other researches. Also, you need to mention how you will progress during the research and the duration you might need to achieve the milestones you have set.
If the university accepts your proposal you will be asked to send in your documents after which you will get the offer letter. Then meeting all the requirements you can begin with the visa process.
To approach a University you must contact the dean or the professor at the University.
Thanks
All The Best.!
