I have given my class 12 Board exams and am awaiting my result. Am planning to pursue a career in Networking or in the Cyber-security field.
Will doing a Bsc in CS or IT, then doing MCA alongwith a certification in networking from a reputed institute suffice?
Please advice.

I'd also suggest to go for Certifications like CCNA, CCNP, CISSE, RHCE, RHCSS, CEH etc.

Well, but one at a time. And getting all these will take years.

Thanks for the suggestions.
For the above certifications should I take them one-by-one from now only or after completing my bachelor's degree ie. while doing my Masters degree.
And which would be the better course to pursue now- Bsc IT or Bsc CS or BCA.

No do it one by one. And don't do it now. Generally all of them are valid for 3 years.

Well, I'd suggest B.C.A. as it is more technical degree than B.Sc(IT) or B.Sc.(CS)
