Manashree ThokalI guess both. Depends on your interest. Scope is very wide in Networking with lot more demand than Testing.

VIPUL THAKURmay be networking course have wide scope in future...........

1.you hate programming.
2. you have no particular passion/interest in networking or in testing -
Anoop KumarYou hate programming... Which means you are not interested in complex job profile. So, automation testing and networking are ruled out.
Better get knowledge on management/functional side and manual testing. Later, look for BA. -

What makes you think you are interested in IT? What is it about IT that attracts you the most?ravee vishnoiHate programming, but interested in IT. -

Kaustubh Katdare#-Link-Snipped-# - You are from Computer Science background and if you wish to get a job in an IT company - I think you will have to start gaining knowing of computer programming. Otherwise, you should start finding out which of the domain (testing / networking / development / ERP etc.) looks more interesting to you. This can only be done by gathering as much information from the Internet and asking questions to the experts through online forums.
No one here can tell you what's good or bad for you. -

Sir can I opt for sap (business module) course as a fresher, will I get job easily as I am interested in business or management side,is there any other option for me to get in this field easily, as I want to get into mangmnt position early as possible then taking course on which of this can help me .net or testing or can I go for sapKaustubh Katdare#-Link-Snipped-# - You are from Computer Science background and if you wish to get a job in an IT company - I think you will have to start gaining knowing of computer programming.

pritambuIf you hate programming go for networking as in Testing you will get programming.

Well, not being fond in programming doesn't necessarily rule out networking. Networking field is quite vast. A general interest in technologies is enough to get you going.Anoop KumarYou hate programming... Which means you are not interested in complex job profile.

Agreed... My indication was general scenario. Correct me if I am wrong here.ashWell, not being fond in programming doesn't necessarily rule out networking. Networking field is quite vast. A general interest in technologies is enough to get you going.
People hate programming because of complexity and mind pressure. Networking also requires that unless you have particular interest in this. Also it's real time debugging.
In this case, manual testing to BA is better option, as indicated by #-Link-Snipped-# in later post

I agree, that's one perspective of networking. If you are involved with network configuration of devices that use CLI, you would have to be comfortable with programming and scripting. Troubleshooting of networks can also require running commands or performing packet sniffing and analyze captures.Anoop KumarAgreed... My indication was general scenario.

To a lesser extent, nowadays there are software out there that can help identify issues based on automated output logs. Some devices are also moving towards configuring via GUI rather than CLI (especially firewalls) for practical reasons. So less emphasis on programming here.
The other side of the coin is if you are involved with network design. You'd need to have strong understanding of networking concepts and drawing skills, but you do not necessarily need to know programming or such. You'll need to be able to design and pick the necessary network elements to provide a solution to a client's requirements. The actual implementation of the solution could be left to another team. -
sodhanaMam, I am(2015 B.Tech CSE) pass-out interested in Networking(i can enjoy working hard in designing networks)... already have some knowledge on tools like packet tracer and GNS3. But i am getting fear about scope and demand of network engineers in future(job security). On the other side i have some Basic Knowledge of programming on c,java,python only.I don't know how much minimum knowledge required to get into IT filed and survive (for both networking and software engineer profile).
what to do Cisco Certification or something else?

Having your base as networking and also some knowledge in programming is your strong point. The networking field is always evolving, and nowadays with the advent of DevOps and Application Performance Management, network engineers do need some fundamentals of how the application that rides on the networks actually work. If you want to implement programming into networks via APIs, then take a look at SDN.sodhanaMam, I am(2015 B.Tech CSE) pass-out interested in Networking(i can enjoy working hard in designing networks)... already have some knowledge on tools like packet tracer and GNS3.

Shouldn't be too worried about job security in networking, just keep an open mind on new things that come out, and learn them. -
Nithin nI'm pursuing my final yr engg. I'm confused to do networking or testing course, I'm not good in coding.
Testing course requires to have knowledge abt coding????
Plz anyone help me.. -
VelShakthiWith no doubt. Testing needs basic knowledge about coding. Because the tester is the only responsible person to identify the defects in particular product.

Once u came out of ur college then u have gather knowledge on a particular domain in which u have interested. Then i advice u to do some certification on that domain .every recruiter expect the certification from u. Because now a days there are n number of fresher in IT world. U may have interest in networks or in programming, just finish a certification to show of ur skill to the recruiter.sodhanaMam, I am(2015 B.Tech CSE) pass-out interested in Networking(i can enjoy working hard in designing networks)... already have some knowledge on tools like packet tracer and GNS3.
