CCNA Scope

Hi Jafar,
CCNA is a popular certification in computer networking developed by Cisco Systems. Cisco created the CCNA to recognize basic competency in installation and support of medium-sized networks.
The core CCNA certification can be obtained by passing a single 90-minute written exam. The exam has no prerequisites, although Cisco and other companies offer various formal training courses to help students prepare. Topics covered on the CCNA exam include
* LAN and WAN design (including the OSI model)
* IP addressing
* routers and routing protocols (including OSPF, EIGRP and RIP)
* VLAN (virtual LAN) and WLAN (wireless LAN)
* network security and management (including ACLs)
The basic qualification for getting into networking is preferably a Degree / Diploma in Computer Science / Electrical / Electronics / Telecommunication followed by a course in Computer Hardware. People with non-engineering background who possesses good knowledge of Computer fundamentals can also enter this field.
In addition, recruiters prefer certain global certifications. Some of the popular International Certifications available for LAN/WAN Administration are MCSE, UNIX Admin, LINUX Admin, CNE,etc.,Whereas for WAN Administration you need CCNA,CCNP,CCDA,CCDP,CCIE.
Internet Security is an emerging technology in networking, which can be implemented by using Firewalls. A large part of the firewall implementation worldwide is done by Checkpoint/Computer Associates.
Fee for this course is around Rs.15000

Hi Reshu,
I am assuming that you are asking me the range of starting salaries for ccna and ccnp in India. The starting salaries may vary to some extent depending on your location, your original graduation and the hiring company. An engineering degree would pay higher than a computer science degree which would pay higher than an information systems degree, at least generally speaking.
Salary is a function of various factors - i.e. (i) the institute where you have completed your B.Tech + M.Tech. e.g. a graduate from a top institute will command a higher salary. (ii) Your work experience - organization and type of work profile (iii) city - a metropolitan city will have higher salaries as compared to smaller cities and towns. (iv) Your current organization - i.e. where you will be joining - an MNC usually has higher salaries as compared to other organizations. (v) Your work profile i.e. Manager/ AVP, etc. Thus one cannot allocate a figure.

Cisco introduced CCNP certification is a professional level certification. CCNP offers many job opportunities worldwide. Better salaries & good designations in reputed MNCs are prominently offered, but must have good skills which is preferred and valued by MNCs. Last decade, changes in technology have gone up to different levels of advancements i.e. one cannot be well versed with all the technologies being used which clearly signifies the need of training required to polish one's skills before actually starts working in a company. So if individuals rightly educate themselves with the required skills let & knowledge no one can stop them from achieving heights in their careers.
