Namita,
For you to be elgible for an OPT you should be enrolled in a certified School on a full time basis continuously for one full academic year (generally 9 months = one academic year) on a Student Visa(F1).
Even though you are elgible to study on H4 visa you won’t be granted an OPT, hence its necessary for you to apply for a student visa. Also understand that certain online offerings from fly by night institutes are not eligble for OPT. Before you decide on a program be sure to carry out your due diligence.
