I understand that any institute in chandigarh will
only impart some of the basic concept (in Linux like
any other subject). Though you may enroll for startup.
But the companies require advance work, which may only
be available in enterprise envornment: like
backup/recovery, disaster recovery, security, data
protection, clusters, failover and high availability,
volume managers, backup of realtime data bases,
filesystem operations, SAN -storage experience,
networking, etc. So these institutes do not have that
kind of manpower.

Further, only linux will not enable you for the UNIX
Admin job, you must have skills on solaris. Linux is
still waiting for enterprise adoption.

Worldwide any certification plays only 15% role in
terms of salary and getting change of a new job.

I do not have any certification, but as an example I
tell you GE is offering me as LDAP System Admin for
10+lacs/y

The system admin people find a good placement in
companies and the jobs is much different than of a
software developer. In India as the economy is
advancing, there are lot of jobs available in the
telecommunication, and big companies.

admin.
