Hi Adithyan,
CCNP is a great career option. All of the CCNP concentrations help you to distinguish yourself in the highly competitive world of IT networking. For enhanced career opportunities, I may suggest you to pick M.C.A.instead. Simultaneously, you can opt for industry relevant certifications in order to enhance the career opportunities.
Go for regular study if have studied Maths in class XII.
Without Maths, you can opt the following ways-
1. Pick Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Applications which will make you eligible for 2nd year M.C.A through lateral entry and simultaneously pursue DOEACC A Level.
2. Distance M.C.A with I.G.N.O.U as it allows you to clear Maths exam and then proceed with the master program.
*Certified CCNP's are in huge demand these days, it helps you in getting good placements. Job profile will be of network engineer, systems engineer, IT engineer, system administrator. This is a dynamic, challenging and rewarding profession.
Hope this information helps. Please feel free to revert.
Wish you luck.

Hi, Animation is one of the most sought-after streams in India these days. More and more demand of animators is emerging in various mediums such as movies, television, video games as well as industrial machines. The reason behind the growing popularity of animation courses is because of the Indian animation industry which is expected to reach the 23 billion mark by 2021, it is known to grow by 15%-20% per year.
Candidates can pursue a 2D or 3D animation course. However, going by the trend these days, it is advisable that one goes for a 3D animation course with some additional add-on and specs like graphics or gaming. Graphic and Animation is a very good choice and is quite upcoming.
