Computer Engineer

Hello,
To be an engineer, you need to have science with PCM (physics, chemistry, mathematics) background. So unfortunately, in your case, you're not eligible to be a software engineer.
However, If you had mathematics and computer as your subjects in 12th board examination, you can get for BCA (Bachelors in Computer Application), which is a 3 years course, followed by MCA (Masters in computer application) which is also a 3 years course. In case, you didn't have mathematics as a subject in 12th, then you can learn a course of your interest from reputed computer coaching institutes like NIITs etc.

Hello Naveen,
You should not get too fascinated with ethical hacker as they show in movies. Most of the institutes provide just a basic fancy course under the name of ethical hacking, just to attract students and earn more.
Hacking itself is illegal. No companies hire hackers to steal information, as it would land them in serious legal issues.
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.
This requires knowledge of Computer Networking. As you've mentioned that you will be opting for Software Engineering, I would suggest you to opt for Security Specialist course during or after your third year of engineering, as by then, the basics required for Security Specialist course would have been covered in your engineering syllabus.
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.
I hope it helps.

Hello Divyansh,
To be able to become a software engineer, you need to have PCM (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics) combination in your 12th standard. After you 12th board examinations are ovee, you need to appear for various entrance examinations.
I would suggest you to appear for IIT JEE and AIEEE. These two entrance examinations provide admissions to IITs/ NITs and other government colleges, which are cost-effective.
I would also suggest you to appear for individual state examinations (OJEE in Odisha, EAMCET in Andhra Pradesh/Telangana, COMEDK in Karnataka, etc.). These exams also guarantee you good colleges and serve as a backup in case things don't end up the way you've planned for IIT/ AIEEE.
Every state has its own share of good engineering colleges. So, don't underestimate or overlook them. They can prove to be vital. The more the entrance examinations you appear for, the more the options you will have for choosing colleges.
Certain private colleges like SRM, KIIT (Odisha), GITAM (Vishakhapatnam) and ITER (Odisha) conduct their own entrance examinations. You can opt for these as well.
After the results of those entrance examinations are announced, if you have a valid score and rank, you can attend the counselling procedure for the respective entrance examination. During the counselling procedure, you can select a college of your choice and the branch of engineering you wish to opt for (depending on availability). Here you can choose Software Engineering or Computer Engineering or Information Technology. All the three courses mentioned have more or less the same syllabus.
