      Hi Gaurav,

      As per Microsoft’s latest update, now they have updated specialization as MCSE and not MCSD (this was old certification). So if you are planning to become MCSA or MCSE you can select exam accordingly. Also, regarding exam voucher you can buy in bulk. Let me know number of quantities you are looking for. Regarding practice test, questions mapped with latest exam objectives because it’s keep updating so. Many participants purchased voucher and cleared the exam. Please let me if you need any further informaion.

      Thanks & regards,
      Jigar Pathak

      Hi Vishal,

      You have to appear for exam via person center. As per my understanding Microsfot has different policies and price for countries. So as of now this voucher works in India I believe.

      Thanks,

      Hi Abhinav,

      So understanding of concepts almost same, only the difference is how the services going to be provisioned in Cloud and how it works. So if you are already working in the same field, I don’t think so there will be any challenges. Certification you have chosen is the perfect one.

      Let me know if you need any further information.

      Regards,
      Jigar Pathak

    Hello, I have already completed certification for 532, 533 & 534. so I can assume now I am MCSE?
    Reason I am asking this because, I have pass results for all the 3 exams, but have not received any congratulation KIT from Microsoft (Not sure if Microsoft still sending such kits like they used to send it 10 years back).
    Please confirm.

    Regards,
    Amit
