Hello,
In India, there is overflow of Software Engineers in IT feild. In that scanerio, making the career in Operating Systems is not an easy task. You have to work harder and harder. You are already enrolled in a Computer Science program, so simply stick to it. Don't overspecialize just yet, but certainly take classes you find interesting. You should also check out your college's library. I learned a lot by simply visiting the QA.76 Computer Science section and checking out interesting books. There are certain things that you have to do for 'operating systems'. For eg, Interacting with software entities outside of your control, Implementing and improvising on data structures, Concurrency and race conditions, Resource allocation and management, Building and layering software abstractions,
Reliability even in the face of partial failures, Understanding hardware limits, and how they affect your programs. This are some basic job prospects for this designation.

Hello,
Job opportunities in government sector:
These days government at all levels are trying to reduce manpower. This is because, the expenses on salary are nearing 50%. Whereas, as per norms, it should not go beyond 35%. So, how does government function, it is functioning nowadays, by simply outsourcing many activities that it did earlier. This avoid expenses on permanent staff of the government. In addition, people are happy as they are getting the services efficiently.
In such scenario, it is useless to wait for government job. However, some recruitment will definitely occur. But, it is going to be on a lesser scale than in earlier years.
This does not mean that jobs have shrunk. There have just shifted from government domain to private domain. Of course, being in private domain means the candidates need to be on their toes always.

Both are best choice, and CCNA & RedHat are equal, but remember Cisco is Networking and RedHat is Linux , Cisco is a closed source and RedHat is open course, that's why Cisco has very good and much better revenue. If you did both or any one certification, you will be definitely getting a better job.
If you are interested in server side networking, then you can go for RedHAT. It is the best suitable course.
If you are interested in core networking, then you can go for CCNA, CCNP, CCDA, and CCIE.
RedHat course has an edge over CCNA, as it has links to Linux, which is widely in use in an IT-Industry, and there is need of such specialized professionals. Linux is very vast and it is growing more rapidly than network. It doesn't mean just after getting certified, you'll get huge salary and designation. It totally depends on your experience and knowledge on linux-RedHat. You can expect good job offers in IT/IS based companies with initial salaries of Rs. 2-3 LPA.
