Ethical hacking is a big branch of computer science, it's not that easy to pursue it. To opt for it you need to have basic computer hardware and software knowledge, also, some programming languages must be known. So, if you are interested in hacking rather than commerce, I suggest you to choose computer science as your stream.

Hi,
Good to see that you are aware of at which path Industry is moving and Cyber Security/ Ethical Hacking is really a good choice in order to career improvement. Even I suggest many IT professionals grab a basic training on Security. However, going parallel certification course with BCA will be little hectic but if you can manage then no problem. I would strongly advise thinking about Cloud Security Professional (CSSP) and the reason being cloud is future as well.
