Make a shortcut to the batch file and assign the hotkey in the shortcut.

That will work from the desktop, opening a new command console. I
wonder if the request is for a hotkey that executes the batch in the
current console window? If this is the case, it requires a third
party application, I think, as in the 'terminate and stay resident'
applications of the old days of 'real' MS-DOS. In that case, unless
the procedure is called very frequently, I'm not certain a batch
procedure is worth creating a hotkey to execute. Just giving it a
very short name (].bat, maybe) and putting it in a folder named on the
PATH (like %systemroot%\system32\) should be nearly as good.

I assume you are referring to running in a windows environment, if so,
create a shortcut to the batch file. For example, right-click on the
Desktop, select New, the Shortcut and then browse to your batch. Once
the shortcut gets created, right-click on it and select properties, in
there is a setting for assigning a 'shortcut key' sequence, such as
Ctrl + Alt + b.

If you are referring to from within a CMD prompt, then create a batch
with a single character prefix. For example, 'b.bat'.

I assigned the shortcut key in the above manner. But that shortcut key is not working. Is there any other step to activate it?

Open the shortcut properties and check that the assigned shortcut is listed there.
If an already used hotkey sequence is used then it will not register it.

Is there different shortcut ? As i see, it have to be Crt + Alt + *something.

For shortcut files, if you use the CTRL key, it must be combined with either
ALT or SHIFT or both.

CTRL+SPACE is used by the system to open a MDI window anyway.

If you really need that keyboard shortcut combination, don't use the
keyboard shortcut feature in the shortcut files. Use a third party hotkey
application instead.
