Hi ,

Based on the above recommendations, what i would do in this situation is to actaully begin my world with CCNA as it is the base to enter this world.

New Horizon(Metro cities), Sililcon Comnet (Metro cities), Int (delhi), Karox Technologies, NIIT CATS , are some of the best places you might want to try to get the right guidance for CCNA.

Before you get into security, you might want to gain some experince in the field with hands on before the other certification.

Based on my experiecne , i have found CCNA -> CCNP ( atleast Routing, Switching ) are core elements required to understand any aspect of networking techology, besides understanding of and OS like server NT/2000, SCO, BSD , Solaris or anything is gud enough for a long lasting career and understanding of the forthcoming technologies..

Most of us have been into this field for more than a couple of years.. do let us know if you need anything else...
