Hi Himanshu,
Please complete your 10+2 first. There are institutes in India that offer a certificate in Photography after class 10th also, but I would advise you to pursue a good Diploma or Advanced Diploma course, if you want to pursue photography professionally. You also have an option to pursue a degree in photography like BFA in photography. Generally, there are no entrance exams for the said course. You can directly apply to the college that you are interested in.
