Shiksha Top Questions

Most important to note about both of these certifications is that you're expected to already have proficiency in the areas of study they represent before you attempt to certify. They document your knowledge of vastly different technologies, so depending on what you already have knowledge of, you'll want to select accordingly when constructing your certification plan.
An MCITP (Microsoft Certified Information Technology Professional) focuses on any of several Microsoft server systems technologies, and documents knowledge of those products and their application in a business IT environment. The entry-level MCITP focuses on Windows Server and Active Directory (and related, commonly installed tools,) but there are several MCITP options (and growing regularly) that include Exchange Server, SQL Server, and Sharepoint, to name just a few. The difficulty of these exams varies widely, and your actual knowledge of the products will also play a role in how difficult you perceive these exams to be. In general, the more experience you have with the actual product the easier they will seem.
CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) focuses on networking concepts like OSI model, subnet math, Ethernet switching, routing, and a basic introduction to routing protocols and would be appropriate for a network admin with a couple years of experience who wanted to demonstrate proficiency in those areas. Relatively recently, many new CCNA options have been added, with the 'classic' CCNA having been renamed to 'CCNA: Routing & Switching'. There are also security and voice CCNA options, which, obviously, focus on network security and IP telephony. Which CCNA (or CCNAs, if you elect to get several) you choose to acquire should be based on what you know and what you're interested in. Like the Microsoft exams, any of the CCNAs require experience with the product, and in this case, I'd recommend extensive experience with the products, and an encyclopedic knowledge of subnet math before attempting any of them. All of the Cisco exams assume the student has the ability to do subnets (I.e. binary math) in their heads or with limited note-space, and will ask questions that you can't possibly answer correctly (without guessing) if you don't know how to calculate subnets in relatively short order.
Whichever you choose to pursue, make sure you have access to an adequate lab, have the official curriculum for the exam, and a good study guide to work through.

Let me understand your purpose behind asking this question since both the certifications are not in the same domain. While CCNA is an entry level Certification in Networking, OCJP (which used to be SCJP or JCP back in the late 90s.) is a decent Java programming certification. With OCJP you can get a decent job as a programmer with any small to medium sized organization. However, I can't say the same with confidence about CCNA.
Since both certifications are in completely non-related domains, it is really hard to compare both. What exactly is your purpose or intention? What is your ultimate goal? What do you believe you are good at & most importantly, interested in, viz. networking or programming? If problem-solving is your thing, I'd say go for OCJP, but if you are thrilled to work with routers & switches, go for CCNA. Make sure you don't stop after CCNA. You will have to upgrade to CCNP & then later on CCIE.

Set up a full proof study Plan
If you have prepared a comprehensive study plan then it will help the aspirants to achieve their goals. The plan must be realistic and must be according to the daily needs and schedule. Make the plan practical and study at your own pace. The plan must such that it reduces the stress and increase the effectiveness. Candidates must create an awareness about the syllabus, the difficulty faced, availability of time, and the candidate's performance target for the particular exam.
Ladders in preparing for the Exam
Plan your time sensibly. Candidates must divide the study session into different study sittings. The candidates must segment the syllabus into small segments. Lay down clear and specific goals for the learning sessions. Candidates must create an acquaintance with the material and the difficulty level in each section. don't have long study sections. This will increase your stress.
Candidates must select a place where there is less noise and hindrance in the study. You should include enough mixture in terms of topics and activities to put off boredom and loss of efficacy. Candidates must monitor their progress regularly. This can be done by diagnostic or through a practice test. This will help to understand the strong and weak areas.
