I can differentiate between both the courses. You can take out your own reason which one is better.
A lot of difference is here between Red Hat and Ethical Hacking field.
The latter one is a field related to security issue for digital devices which are not constrained to a limited discipline.
But, Red Hat provides services to a limited domain and people get certified, to show expertise on a particular product.
Red Hat is mainly famous for its Linux distribution which is widely used as an enterprise server.
On the basis of this, choose which is better.

Hi Prabhjot Singh,
IELTS is the test for English language proficiency and whoever told you it is equivalent to HSC must have fooled you or must be a big fool himself. Gaining 7 bands in IELTS is very good however you must also have good marks in your 10+2, more than 80% is recommended if you need scholarship. Please check college or university websites for scholarship information. Generally they are given on the basis of merit automatically at the time of admission so having excellent academics is very important.

There are three main generally accepted categories of a hacker, each represented by a hat of a different colour: white, grey and black. All of them exploit weaknesses in computer systems and networks. The differences between them are their motivations. The most infamous is the black hat hackers, computer criminals epitomized by Hollywood, whose malicious activities serve their own ends ranging from financial gain to simply causing chaos. White hat hackers are usually those that carry out their craft with no apparent criminal intention in mind. And grey hats sit somewhere in the middle, often hacking into a system just to prove they can

Hello,
Bachelor of Computer Application is a regular three years course that is offered by many colleges in almost every city of India. This course is of course approved by the concerned universities in its content. There is also a system in place in each university to review and change the syllabus as per the requirement.

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 l

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 hack
