To obtain a degree in cryptography, per se, it will probably be necessary for you to pursue a Master's or a
doctorate (PhD) degree. My searches of undergraduate programs -- even at the
best computer science and mathematics institutions in the world -- do not
reveal any undergraduate degrees in cryptography.
In fact, because cryptography is both algorithmic and mathematical in
nature, you can probably pursue such a course of study in either a
mathematics or a computer science program. Guessing from your name that you
might be on the Indian sub-continent, the Indian Institute of Technology
(IIT) is a highly regarded academic program with offerings and faculty that
could support such a course of study. Here in the United States, the best
schools for cryptography include MIT, Carnegie-Mellon University, Purdue
University, Stanford University and the University of Washington (Seattle).
I hope this reply manages to answer your question and to address your
