    Hi Riddhi,
    Shiksha is an education portal which deals with courses/ colleges on a broader spectrum but your query is more of specific in nature, yet as you have posted this query all I would state you here is that Linux is an Operating System assembled under the model of Open Source Software. This is somewhat similar to that of Unix Operating System.
    As far educating in Linux is concerned, there are many certifications offered by the leading open source technology solutions provider- Red Hat and to know more about the available institutes offering the International Certifications:

    Linux (often pronounced LIH-nuhks with a short "i") is a Unix-like operating system that was designed to provide personal computer users a free or very low-cost operating system comparable to traditional and usually more expensive Unix systems. Linux has a reputation as a very efficient and fast-performing system. Linux's kernel (the central part of the operating system) was developed by Linus Torvalds at the University of Helsinki in Finland. To complete the operating system, Torvalds and other team members made use of system components developed by members of the Free Software Foundation for the GNU Project.

    Linux is a Unix-like computer operating system assembled under the model of free and open source software development and distribution. The defining component of any Linux system is the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released October 5, 1991 by Linus Torvalds.
