Padmaja,
To my knowledge Testing is quite common field to chose. As many students feel Testing is very easy so doing courses and trying in Testing. But Testing is not really in Demand in today's date. You can check for other good options where people have not looked yet and which will boom in future.
IT Security or IT System Administration (Linux/UNIX/AIX) or IT Database administration could be a good option as many jobs are now available. No doubt there will be a problem of your degree, education or past experience but if you could get very strong knowledge with certification, chances would be fare in future.
>> RHCE or CCNA?
RHCE is better than CCNA. Reason is CCNA is course even 12th pass student can do, however RHCE needs a technical guy. In fact there is no comparison among RHCE and CCNA as RHCE (Linux) is an OS. You can have very good opportunities in RHCE than CCNA. On top of this you can plan for AIX Administration. This is very niche domain with great opportunities. AIX is the OS launched by IBM and has very bright future going ahead.

Hi Janvi,
If you are doing a Distance education programme from SMU it would not be easy for you to change your field, as Distance Education MBA generally doesn't hold much value in the job market and only good for those working professional who are looking for growth in their current organization. So, if you are very keen on changing your career field you may face difficulty in the beginning and you may have to start your career as HR profession from a lower level and with the lesser income. I would suggest you to keep all the pros & cons in mind before taking any decision.

Hi Rahul, the best source of information in this regard is the British Council and the British High Commission. As of now, they are not taking applications for post study work visa as they have reached the brim of the pool(allotted number of places). In April an announcement is expected i this regards whether or not post study work permit will be available to international students after completing studies in the UK. At least some changes are expected. It could be completely taken off or reduced or may be Scottish universities will retain their 2 yrs and it may not be available in the rest of the UK.
I hope this information is useful.
