Hi Smith, I see that like many others, you too are confused with CS and IT. Most students consider both of them to be almost the same. However, the difference arises right from the third year. IT deals mostly with software engineering whereas CS covers both Software Engineering and Hardware Engineering. Hence, with CS, you have more number of papers to take care of, but, you definitely get a priority during placements.
Enrol yourself in any reputed UGC or AICTE recognised institutes for your desired stream. In addition to this, you can also go for courses in programming courses in institutes like NIIT etc. which are in demand in the market to secure an easy job.
Now coming towards the Ethical Hacking course:
Hacking means "Theft". No company would like to hire a thief to steal any concept from another company. Rather they would prefer a security professional who can secure their own company's data. Most institutes use this "Fancy" name of Ethical Hacking to their course just to attract people. Further Ethical Hacking course covers hacking through Windows which is absolutely ridiculous as most servers are Linux based and not Windows based. So, do not get attracted by this fancy words.
However, if you wish to go into the security professional course, then you need to have sound knowledge of Networking (which will be taught to you as a part of your engineering syllabus) and then you can opt for CISCO certified courses like CCNA etc. Alongwith this, you can also opt learn Java Programming in UNIX Environment as it clearly teaches you the UNIX/LINUX Environment which is used in most servers today.
Though becoming a security professional is a lengthy process, it is not difficult to achieve and is a highly paid job as well. Rest all depends on your dedication, your skill set and the marks you can achieve. All the best!

Great Lakes Institute of Management accepts only CAT scores and to a certain extent, the XAT (Xavier's' Aptitude Test) score. Though they mention about CMAT and MAT scores, they do not use it for short listing candidates. Being a CAT \ CMAT \ MAT \ XAT trainer for over 15 years, I would to share my views. Your MAT percentile, though good, is on the lower side. Your objective should be to pursue your MBA \ PGDM from the top 30 B Schools in India. Most of these B Schools accept only CAT scores. You should look at scoring a minimum of 97 percentile in CAT, to stand a realistic chance of making it to these B Schools. You can also look at XAT, which is normally conducted in the month of January each year
