Hi all,
This is Vijay from chennai..
Im a dot trainee. For me, which certification wiil be best and what are all the exams to get that certification..

Raj said...

This is for Vijay - Chennai,

Hi vijay,

Actually all these certification required some good experience. Microsoft recommends at least 2-3 years. But if you have good 1-2 year experience you can clear the exam very easily. You have to clear MCTS that has two exams as mentioned in the post.

Cheers,
Raj

Shishir said...

Hi,
At last after searching for more than a week I found a clear details about MS certification.
I had one more doubt.I am currently working in dotnet platform for more than 18 months.So should i go for MCTS or is there any thing else which i can start with.
Also can please share if you have any info about best MBA course (part time) without quitting my current job .

Raj said...

hi Sudhir,
thanks to praise my effort.

you can go for MCTS. purcase a hard copy of self-paced ms book. and concentrate on the exam objectives in that book.

For MBA i am not right person to guide. Search for best private university for that.

Fardeen said...

Raj sir.Iam a lecturer in an engineering college.Iam from electronics background and doin Mtech in VLSI currently.But I have decided to go for some certifications.One will be SCJP and the next one after that.Also i want to appear for dotnet certification,Please Raj sir.guide me which certification to go for and whether i need industrial exposure to clear these exams..Please contact me at mailtoahmed@gmail.com Thankin u n anticipation

Raj said...

hi Ahmed,

i dont understand why are you going in all fields. VLSI, Java, Dot net all are different field, for each certification you will get different kind of job.

It is better to have experience to understand the test objctive better.

MCTS = 70-536+70-328

MCPD =MCTS + 70-547

ranjith said...

Raj said...

hi,

Centers in Kolkata, Gurgaon, New Delhi, Banglore, Pune, Mumbai, Chandigarh, Ludhiana,

No need to join any center. Read MS self paced book and practice.

Hi Sir,
I m 2 + Yrs Exp in DotNet applications.Now working in Singapore.I was in confusion in doing Certifications which one to start.Now i m clear on that.I should start MCTS first.Self Study
is enough for Passing the Exam?
For that which book u Suggest for me for passing MCTS..
Thanks a lot for clearing my doubt.
Waiting for ur Reply.

Raj said...

Yes, self study is enough,

as mentioned in other comments. Ms self paced book for 536,528 and 547 are their, and do the practice test.
you can download, but if u buy hard-copy you will get code and practice test with the book.
you can test your study via downloading various questions available on the net. But first read the book and practice. Best of Luck.

How to upgrade your MCAD or MCSD credentials to MCPD: Web Developer certification

If you are a Microsoft Certified Application Developer (MCAD), you can upgrade to the MCPD: Web Developer certification by taking one upgrade exam, Exam 70-551: UPGRADE: MCAD to MCPD: Web Developer by Using the Microsoft .NET Framework. By passing this upgrade exam, you will automatically get the MCTS prerequisite, MCTS: .NET Framework 2.0 Web Applications.

Hello Mr. Raj

I'm working as an application software designer in a small company in hyderabad. I have 4+yrs of experience in IT industry with 3yrs of DOTNET experience. I'm planning for MCSD certification.

I just want to know that is it necessary for me to attend any course from a reputed institute in order to complete the exams. If yes, can u please suggest me any of the institute in Hyd. Otherwise, can u please suggest me the best way of preparation.

Also, I just want to know the best approach to complete the exams successfully. I mean is it preferable to write each exam in different schedules (1 exam in a month) or to write all of them at a time (as we write in our academics). I'm planning to complete all the 5 exams (70-305, 70-306, 70-310, 70-300, 70-229) by March 31st, 2009. So how should I plan.

And, how will be the exam and marking procedure... I mean pass percentage/grade... and any time limitation to complete the exams.

Thank you

Hi, I am Swapna from Mumbai.
Having 3 years of experience in dot net.
If I want to go for certifications in both windows and Web. i.e. MCPD in windows and Web both, Is there any other way of doing it? or I have to appear twice for that exam?
Secondly,
Is MCTS and MCPD are the only exams present for .net 2.0 ?
Raju sir, please help.
Need info urgently.

Anonymous said...

Hi, swapna from Mumbai here.
Nothing is mentioned about SQL Server 2005 exams in the article.

Anonymous said...

Hi, swapna here again.
What is the difference between MCP and MCITP?

Raj said...

Hello Swapna,

MCP - It is general term(Microsoft Certified professional) if u posses any kind of MS certificate, mcts,mcpd or even MCITP, You are MCP.

MCITP-> in this a lot of Certification exists.but for a developer point of view only certification is

"MCITP: Database Developer"

To earn this you have to pass following exams.

MCTS: Exam 70-431
after this

70-441 : Designing Database Using Microsoft SQL Server 2005

70-442 : Designing and Optimizing Data Access by Using Microsoft SQL Server 2005

above was the answer of your last two post

and for the first one read following.....

Exam 70–536 is common for both. so you have to appear only once.

after this for WEB you have to give
Exam 70–528

and for Windows.
Exam 70-526

Cheers
Raj

I have already posted my queries last time with the same name (Harpal Singh)
i'll be thankful to you.
Thanx...

Raj said...

Sorry Harpal,

i could not answer earlier. i do not have knowledge of institutes in Chandigarh. You can check NIIT/Aptech or some individual who give coaching at home, they can teach better. i can recomment you books. just install the Vs2008/2010 on your computer.
Read following books.

ASP.NET UNLEASHED 3.5/4.0 (practical knowledge)

Microsoft.Press.CLR.via.C.Sharp.

3rd.Edition.Feb.2010 for framework 4.0

or
2nd edition for 3.5.
for(framework knowledge)

these books will give you in-depth knowledge of .net.

Both books are my favorite.

What is the cost for MCTS exam?

Shilpa said...

Hi Raj,
I m Dotnet developer having 1 year of experience.
Can you please tell me
How can i do MCTS
Is MCP pre-requisite for MCTS
or directly I go for MCTS as you have mentioned in your post.

And 70-536+70-328 both are different levels. Are these conducted separately or together.

Thanks in advance

Raj said...

Hey Shilpa,

its 528+536, yes you can go directly with these two exams.

One thing.. these are 2.0 certification.

These exams are retiring in june 2011.

So as .net's current version is 4.0. Check here http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/cert-vstudio.aspx#tab2 , comment if you still not clear.

Shilpa said...

thanks alott for spontaneous reply raj :). Tht was very good information.

Four MCTS:
MCTS: .NET Framework 4, Windows Applications

MCTS: .NET Framework 4, Web Applications

MCTS: .NET Framework 4, Service Communication Applications

MCTS: .NET Framework 4, Dat



Compulsory For any of MCPD
MCTS: .NET Framework 4, Service Communication Applications

MCTS: .NET Framework 4, Data Access



According to this Above two i will have to do for sure to do MCPD.
and MCTS Windows based or Web Based is of choice.


So my question is Are These MCTS exams have to be attempted in order it is mentioned??

And Which1 would you suggest me to do MCTS Windows based Or MCTS web based??

Shilpa said...

Hi raj

want to add 1 more thing
They different are as per visual studio 2005,2008,2010

here in office we use 2008.
N I m new to dotnet have not done much of coding
But had basic training in Dot net 3.5

What u say
Should i go with Dotnet 3.5 or Dotnet 4.0??

Raj said...

Hey Shilpa,

Go for Web exam

There is no such order, you can do in any series.
......
Secondly as your current experience is 1 year. As Microsoft says , you should have at-least 2-3 years of experience before attempting these exams. As i know 1 year is very less to understand all nitty gritty of .net mention in the details of the exam. if you have worked on 70% of the technologies mention in the exam then attempt. Or just download the book and read. if you find comfy go for web exam. if not then wait, get some more exp at least 1 year.

As per your last comment,
1) 3.5 will also be retire in 1 year.

As per your exp.
my suggestion would be.
Do not go for exam now. Get 2 years of experience at least.

Shilpa said...

Thanks a tonnn :) :)
That was really good.

Here in office mostly i work with windows applications.

Can u tell where can i find the study material.

MCTS: .NET Framework 4, Windows Applications

if u can send me some material
at gurnani.shilpa@gmail.com
that will be really appreciated

Thanks in advance

Hi sriniwaas, please check this blog
http://rajmittal.blogspot.com/search/label/certification

you will find full information about the certification, Its centers, fees structure, Helpline no.. exams those are expired so that you do not pick wrong exam. follow this link.

2)Most Big companies will hesitate to select you resume, as 60% is cut-off, though some accept 55% also, So go to some small company usually they do not check the percentage etc. after getting good experience 2-3 years target big company. Certification helps after you get experience. It is of no use without experience. Min 1.5-2 year exp is must.

Thx

Raj said...

@vishaka: Microsoft recommends 2 years of experience for taking any of the MC exam. get 1 years of experience at least, because exams questions requires industry experience.

.net certification 2.0 is already dead. go for 3.5. you can give any exam in any order

Hi Raj,

I am planning to take my first MS certification. I am a .net web developer with 4+ years of experience.

I want to take MCPD. For that there are 3 MCTS pre-requisites and 1 MCPD pro. My doubt::

1)I have to take above mentioned 4 exams for directly becoming MCPD or I have to first be a MCTS by clearing following 2 exams?

MCTS = 70-536+70-328

2) Are 2 out of 3 MCTS pre requisites are enough or I have to take all 3.

Thanks in advance.
Sonia
