Hi Amit,

Recently i also asked for some suggestions regarding
RHCE in Chandigarh (on Linux_Chandigarh Group) and i got many positive
replies.I found answer given by you very informative & upto some
extent i also know the truth behind these institutes in Chandigarh,
most of the institutes i visited recently are not providing quality
training.I completely agree with you, but if i have the only option in
Chandigarh, then what institute would you recomend(For RHCE)?

And also if you are thinking RHCE would not be sufficient then i
welcome your suggestions on carrier guide i.e what should i do to
build a strong carrier, i m interested in Linux Administration &
Security.
