If you want to pursue a career in networking then there are two ways to do it:
1. Do specialization in computer networking by doing PG from IISc, IIT, NIT, etc. After completing PG, you will get a chance to work with networking giants like Cisco, Orange, Juniper, etc. Here you can get a chance to work in their R&D department. (Here you work as a researcher).
2. Another way is that you can enter into this field by obtaining vendor certifications like CCNA, CCNP, CCIE (Cisco track) or JNCIA, JNCIP, JNCIE (Juniper track), etc. By following this certification track, you will be able to design, install, configure and troubleshoot small to the large-sized network. This is also a good choice to enter in the networking field. (Most people follow this).
Now, the choice is yours, whether you want to become a researcher in networking field or to become a network professional.
Both ways are good. Ask yourself and decide which path to follow.
