CCNA +CCNP.. Good for future or not?

[amritpal2489]

Hey guys... i am in a fix..
I am in last semester of my MCA... N we have to go for 6 months industrial training.. nd a project too...
I was thinking of going into the networking field ( i am not that good in coding nd not even interested).. So i planned to do CCNA and then CCNP..

I want to know if i have made a good choice?? What is the scope?
What expectations should i keep???

[pulkitpopli2004]

scope is really very large.. go for CCNA.. it will take arnd 6months..
clear the CCNA test and get certified.. half work is done u will definately get a job..

and one den go for CCNP after sum working exp or whateva u like..

[amritpal2489]

what is the package that i can expect ???

[gagan007]

two of my friends did CCNA while in college...one is now working in Java and other in SAP. So if you ask me, there was no benefit at all (keeping in mind huge coaching and certification-fee charges)...while on the other hand a relative of mine who passed engg after me is earning more than me
I would say you need correct timing and luck to get the right job to match your qualifications

Starting package could vary from 3-4 lacs/annum

[pulkitpopli2004]

if you are certified for the above mentioned course.. u wiill definately get placed in collg with package of more than 3lakh..
for ccnp.. it cud b above 5 too.. dere r very less ppl who are CCNP certified

[amritpal2489]

thanks guys....
can i have some more opinions please ??????

[hdsk.23]

well if u ask my opinion networking is the field first of all require hard work through life(updation require all the time... ccna>ccnp>ccie) and patience..
and @ pulkitpopli2004 there are plenty people who has ccna certification... its rather to say there are very less who has ccie!!
and to even attempt ccie u need good knowledge + more that 5 yrs experience too

[amritpal2489]

i totally agree with you hdsk.23
IMO the problem in networking field is getting a job coz every co. seeks an experienced person to handle thr network

Hi gagan,

I am not an engineering candidate. So well i am pursuing my career in B. Sc. in IT in the last semester. Even I am eyeing for networking job. I am a fresher to this field. Now i am finding it difficult to locate the smaller firms pertaining to this field in bangalore. I have completed CCNA, after getting placed i am planning to do CCNP or CCSP.

But can you please guide the some firms which recruit for freshers. salary no constraint. I need an exposure thats it.

Doing CCNA only does not benefit at all. CCNA+CCNP gives more opportunities. as to how much one can expect, it depends on job role and company.

[amritpal2489]

In Bangalore there are lot of opportunities in Networking field...
Try Naukri.com buddy

Ya its is good choice . But dnt expect much in terms of package since a fresher is considered inapt to handle live networks . But as you get experienced you cn demanda lot.

As far as i knw there are a lot off CCNP's in the market and i am one of those .

Go for CCSP instead of CCNP.......
You'll have to continue an extra course after CNNA if you are opting for CCSP.....

That's to cover the basics of CCSP......
