A typical entry-level ethical hacker job posting reveals that a Bachelor's degree in computer Science or a related work field is a must. Beyond that, security certifications can be extremely beneficial in proving you have the requisite knowledge for the job. One survey found that 81 percent of security professionals believe getting certified was a key factor in the decision to hire them.
While many IT security certifications exist, the three main ones for ethical hackers are:
- Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)
- GIAC (Global Information Assurance Certification) Penetration Tester (GPEN)
- Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP)
CEH: The Most Basic and Widely Recognized Certification
If you're looking to get started as an ethical hacker, the CEH certification, the broadest of the three, may be right for you.

Hi Harsh,
It's unfortunate that you have not cleared your Economics paper and have landed up a compartment.
There are various career options available these days. However, I would recommend that you first do away with your compartment exams as it is very crucial for moving ahead towards acquiring a good course and enhance your studies.
In order to get past a reputed college and a feasible course, ensure that you crack these exams to the best of your capability.
The mantra to success is dedication, commitment and determination. Stay focused and work hard towards goal attainment. You will certainly reap results, remember hard work always pays off. Don't underestimate your potential, you are worth a thousand sparrows. Don't let your fear demotivate you or derail you from your future aspirations.
Hope it helps. Please feel free to revert.
Wish you luck.
