What is the scope of CCNA in India? Does a CCNA certification help developers?

The scope of CCNA R&S Course in India is dependent upon the track of CCNA Cert you choose. The scope of CCNA certification is quite more than that of CCNA R&S as the security of data is the most important concern for every organization. However, there is not much scope for other CCNA tracks such as Wireless, Cloud etc. in India. However, even if you want to prepare for any Cisco certification like CCNA Security or CCNP or CCNP Security, you will anyhow have to prepare for CCNA first. So CCNA is pre-requisite for all other Cisco courses. Well coming up to developers, it depends, what kind of Project is the Developer working on, or what he/she aspires for the Future. Having an additional qualification never hurts, only helps at times. AFAIK, Software Engineers are recruited in major IT MNCs based on their Analytical Ability, Problem-Solving Tactics, knowledge of various Programming Tools & Technologies, Platforms, Debugging etc. skills. I'm not sure where CCNA would fit in. Besides, CCNA is more into basic Networking the way Cisco delivers it via their own devices. As a Software Engineer if you are trying to get a hang of core Networking, I'd say stick to Andrew Tannenbaum, or Douglas Comer, W. Richard Stevens, etc. kind of great folks.
