Hello Anandu,
It isn't mandatory to pursue ethical hacking course after B.Sc. in Information Security.
I would rather recommend you to go for security specialist professionals. These jobs are highly payable and in high demand as most companies need them to protect their own data. These jobs work on the same logic that the best thief can protect the data in the best way.
For the same, you can go to some reputed computer training institutes like NIIT, etc. You can go for Java courses followed by networking courses and CCNA/CCNB (CISCO) courses. After this, you can also opt for CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) certification courses, if you wish to. The cost of these courses varies from institute to institute. You can contact a reputed institute in your city for course and fees details.
Ensure you do these courses alongside a degree course (BCA, B.Tech, B.Sc, etc.) for better outcome.
I hope I have been able to answer your queries to your satisfaction.If so, kindly upvote this answer.If you've any further questions, kindly revert.

The first stage is the Common Proficiency Test which has 6 exams. Second stage is known as the Integrated Professional Competence Course with 7 exams and the third stage is Final examination which has 8 exams to clear. To clear each CPA exam, you need to score above the 75th Percentile to pass the exam. On the other hand, you can clear a CA exam if you score 40% or more in it with a cumulative average of 50% or more during IPCC or Final Exam stages. Despite this, the pass percentage of candidates appearing in a CA exam is about 5% whereas CPA sees a pass.
