Ethical Hacking

I don't think that there are any colleges providing courses on ethical hacking. Still, if there are any colleges which provide courses on ethical hacking, I don't think that one should option for it.
Colleges, especially in India, provide a very formal and theoretical knowledge, which is not going to work in case of Hacking. Hacking is more of a mindset than a skill. If you have that Hacker mindset, then it doesn't matter that if there are any colleges for it or not. If you have that kind of mindset, then half the job is done, you now just need to harness it and let your curiosity lead you to improve your skill set. You have to read a lot, and practice a lot.
You need to practice a ton of practice. If you have that kind of mindset, you won't see anything else apart from hacking.
However, I do recommend you to clear you basics first, and then dive deep into Hacking culture. Don't try to skip the basics, otherwise you'll be a Script-kiddie.
And one more thing, don't enroll for any summer training in any institute. They will charge you a lot of money, and will teach you only the theoretical knowledge. Just save your money, and buy lots of books. And enroll in some good quality courses on the Internet which are free of cost.

Hello,
I cannot predict whether the company will grant you an internship or not, but I can surely say that they will surely lodge a complaint against you and in no time, you will have the cops chasing you. To be an intern in a company, you need to respect the company's effort, the pain taken by the company owners to establish it, and its culture. Hacking into the company's website to seek an internship shows that you disrespect the company, threatening them to provide you a certain advantage and in this case, you are more likely to receive no as an answer even though how deserving you are.
Further, no company is interested in hiring hackers. They very well understand that hacking someone else's information could lead them to legal trouble, and they would not risk that. They are rather more interested in the counterpart of ethical hacking - known as Security Specialist Officers who deal with how they can secure the information and infrastructure of the company to ensure privacy and confidentiality of the information.
I hope this answers your question.

Hello,
You should not get too fascinated with ethical hacker as they show in movies. Most of the institutes provide just a basic fancy certification course under the name of ethical hacking, just to attract students and earn more.
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.
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 option for CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) certification courses, if you wish to.
You need to ensure that you pursue these courses alongside a degree course, BCA, B.Tech, B.Sc, etc. for better outcome.
Further, in no circumstances can this profession be served as on a self-employment basis. Pursuing this profession needs grants and license from the government, which is not given to individuals and are only provided to a few companies who satisfy certain prerequisites.
I hope this answers your question.
