Hi Manisha,
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing and storage capacity as a service to a community of end-recipients. The name comes from the use of a cloud-shaped symbol as an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it contains in system diagrams. Cloud computing entrusts services with a user's data, software and computation over a network.There are three types of cloud computing:
1.Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS),
2.Platform as a Service (PaaS), and
3.Software as a Service (SaaS).
Employers will want you to have exposure to or experience working with the technologies of one of the four big cloud computing companies: Amazon, Google, Microsoft or Salesforce.com, and/or experience working with virtualization technologies such as that of VMWare.
Other requirements may include:
BA/BS degree in engineering, computer science or related field;
Network and security architecture experience;
Experience with a cloud migration, data center migration, or server consolidation project;
Knowledge of and experience with technologies such as Java, Web services, SOAP and Ajax;
communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills.

Hi Manisha,
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.

Hi Anchal,
Yes, there is a lot of difference in the syllabus as well as the courses.
Nift is for fashion designing and for other related fields purpose, Nata is solely for architecture.
For NIFT
You study current affairs, English, general maths and drawing abilities which includes designing poster or logo. Something which measures your designing aspects
There are 2 papers, one drawing paper another general ability test.
For NATA
You study architectural awareness, general maths (hardly 2-3 questions are expected), synonyms and antonyms and visualization. The drawing paper includes view, ant's eye view etc. Something which measures your skills in perspective.
There are 2 papers, one drawing paper and another 50 mins online awareness test.

Hi Anchal,
When it is a matter of choosing a career in the field of civil engineering or architecture, one has to know the basic differences between the two which includes the difference of working environments, career scope, core subjects and future prospects in these two fields. Though these fields are similar in many aspects but there are differences which makes them unique and individual fields.
The nature of civil engineering is more mathematical and thus detailed structural designs, structural analysis, construction and maintenance is the responsibility of a civil engineer.
On the other hand, the nature of architecture is more artistic and towards the utilization of space to produce a good architectural design (A Plan or A Map or A Drawing) simultaneously keeping high aesthetic value, compatibility with building bye-laws and ekistics’ principles. There are scientific principles involved but not as much as those are involved in civil engineering.

Hi Anchal,
Though I am not an expert but based on what I have seen I am trying to attempt the same.
Number one is stone used, Delhi sultanate used the local stones, the Mughals were partial to Red Sandstone, hence the Mughal forts, and buildings look more beautiful ( Humanyun's tomb, Red Fort both in Delhi and Agra)
The Mughals buildings also have more intricate Kalamkari work with influences from central Asia and Persia. Compared to the same the Delhi Sultanate buildings are more bland.
Mughals also built most of their buildings from ground up, while a lot of Delhi Sultanate buildings were used from rubble of the buildings they destroyed. Hence you can clearly see a lot of earlier stones being used in Qutub Complex.

Hi Anchal,
Computer architecture pertains primarily to the CPU of a computer - e.g., what instruction set does the computer use? How many and what types of registers do we have? What other components do we need (floating point arithmetic units, instruction pipeline etc.) How does the CPU cache work?
Software architecture pertains to the design of software systems - e.g., how many/what tiers does this system have (UI, business logic, data access etc.)? How should we split the system into interoperable modules?
Information architecture pertains to the the high level concepts of the system as observed by a user - e.g., in a typical e-commerce store, what are the key concepts (users, products, hierarchy of product categories, reviews etc.)? How do these key concepts relate to one another? E.g., a product, say a book, has many instances (1000 copies in the inventory), and a user can buy one or more instances of a product. A user can write a review for one or more products etc.

Hi Shakeel,
Studying abroad is an individual personal choice. Depending on an individual's career plans (professions in international law, global trade, transnational issues). He/she may choose to pursue LLM in UK or elsewhere. Again, the kind of global exposure you will be facing is indeed a unique experience and will define your career.
Though I cannot really say if you will get a job, international legal practitioners are in demand in UK. However, do remember the recent UK work permit rules.
You can still practice in India, there are a number of known legal personnel in India graduating from UK. The Bar Council of India recognizes degrees from certain colleges outside India such as:
1. Oxford and Cambridge Universities.
2. London University.
3. Leeds University, etc.
You may check the Bar Council website.
Hope this helps.
