Hi sharath!

Ethical hacking is independent is of IT and CSE course. But its better if you take CSE as it includes all the syllabus that helps you to become an enthical hacker. For ethical hacking you need very deep knowledge and CS provides it. 

Even IT is good. Since both the courses doesnt include any syllabus related to hacking except NETWORK SECURITY. Network security is the basic platform for hacking. In CS you can learn about it more briefly. And more importantly, Ethical hacking depends on the knowledge that you gain from outside and what you are learning thats there in the book so my advice is after finishing your B.E, you could join 1 year of Ethical hacking programs.

I hope this information was useful for you.

Good Luck!

Hiii

No not directly but yes of you choose this course it would b beneficial.
In btech CSE or IT .You will study about diffrent technical subjects like programming in various languages data structures , Operating System, Automata and Data Networking and many more which will be helpful for you .
To become an ethical hacker or to choose ethical hacking to be your profession, you will need to either take an additional specialisation subject in ethical hacking in your college along with your BTech or else you can join some Institute and get certified in Ethical hacking. Now a days various online platforms like NPTEL, Udemy etc are also providing certification cources you can choose them as well.

Hope this helps
Thanks!
