I think you meant career. Anyway, most/all freshers who get certifications in ERP are ignored by most companies. Why? without functional experience, certifications like SAP will not hold much water.

Get a job, preferably in an organisation that implements SAP. Get trained as an end user (your company will do that for you) and work with them through atleast 1 implementation lifecycle. Maybe 1 to 3 yrs.

This is when you should consider a certification. Once done it should help you get a new job (in the same company or another) as a SAP consultant or some position where you are responsible for designing and implementing solutions using SAP (or other ERP software) from scratch.

Honestly, I don't believe in certifications. Neither do most in the industry. You're work experience in your designated functional areas will take you further than certifications.

MOST IMPORTANTLY - Be very wary of SAP training institutes in India and what they say. Their job is to make a quick buck selling certifications. Certifications that hold very little value without work experience.

Right said Keith, the most important thing that counts is implementation experience, especially in the SAP domain. Although I am involved in it, the other companies will not give me much value unless I have gone through 1-2 implementation cycles, say around 2 years of experience in the SAP functional/technical (ABAP) domain. After that when I do the certification, the job options are much better.

So my advice to you is, get in a company which is a SAP implementation partner, get involved in SAP from scratch. You may be involved from the project beginning (Business blueprinting stage) or in post-implementation support, but that does not matter. Get around 1.5 to 2 yrs of experience, then do the course in Siemens for the certification. Then you will go places...

Pls do not count count on placement record of any training institute, not only SISL. Ultimately you have to get that dream job of your own by your own.

Why don't you register at all the job sites like naukri, monsterindia, timesjobs, etc? They list all kinds of openings.

3-4 months back i had attended a seminar at Nehru Center, Mumbai. a few companies had come and were telling everyone about their company achievements and the type of people they needed.

L & T Infotech person was talking about SAP. Here he was telling us "Whichever stream you come from, whatever your background may be, we at L&T Infotech(SAP) have something for everyone."

so you will need to post your resume at their website and they will call you if they are intrested.
gud luck.
do tell us if u manage to get into any company in SAP platform.

i definately will inform if i make it to any of the company supporting SAP.

This will take time as i am stil an undergraduate( i am an final yr Engg stud specalizing in Computer Science field).

i hope i wont be penalised for popping an old thread up.
does any one know what educational qualifications are required for getting into SAP/ERP line.
getting into means getting a job! for a fresher who has a BSc (IT) degree. i will be completing BSc IT by July'06.
is there a percentage barrier like getting a First Class etc.

@iinfi

I think you can take ABAP module in SAP since you have IT background.

Regards...

[iinfi]

thanks for the info mate, but can you tell me whether any company will giv a job in this platform for freshers. is there any percentage barrier for getting entry into SAP? like do companies insist that you need to be a first class with distinction etc. etc.
any idea?
thanks again 4 the info.

[shivaranjan.b]

The percentage criteria and all varies from companies to company and it depeneds upon its HR policies...

As far as i know to get into SAP field you need to have minimum two years relevant domain exp.. i.e if you intend to take ABAP module then you need to have some work exp in Programming etc..
