Answer 3

Networking world is divided into two main groups.

1. Systems

2. Pure Networks

1. System means working in computer networks which are connected in lan. The networks are not too large and what you learn is a good knowledge of the operating system and the way to handle them. The job profile is of System administrator.

Generally People do MCSE/RHCE (Microsoft certified System Engg / Redhat Certified Engg)

Pure networks is also divided into 2 parts

i) Wired (CCNA/CCNP/CCIE/CCSP etc)

ii) Wireless (CWNA/CWSP..Etc.)

Exams for wired networks is conducted by CISCO and has a great market value.

CCNA is the entry level course in the networking field.

If you are really interested in opting networking as your career then start with CCNA after completing that go for one of the systems RHCE is a tough one. MCSE is a better option in this case.

Once MCSE and CCNA is over, your resume will have a good value. But remember, in this field only knowledge from book is not enough.

All you need is a good practical knowledge.

So i would suggest you to join a good networking institute where they really allow the students to practice on routers and other equipments. There are many institutes that says that our students practice on router. but make sure that they really do.

Check for if they offer a demo lecture to test it.

If you are in central India i would suggest you to join IT-NetworkZ ( In Nagpur). these guys have got a good infra and the faculty there is also good. I also did my Certification from there.

After that you can go for wireless or CCNP ( There is a great demand for CCNP in Market)

rest is all yours.

Best of Luck
