Thanks for this but i hv seen even the entrant level certification requires experience in one or the other domain and i dont have it and being from a non technical student no one would take a chance on me so now what?

Security+ doesn't require any experience but recommends like 2 years. With SSCP you can become an associate and work on getting the experience. You can get other certs like the MCSA to build background knowledge as well.

What is your IT background? Are you just getting into IT? If so I would say finding an entry level IT job would be your first step.

Totally agree with Robertf969.

Get an entry level position in IT and decide what you like to do. Within the InfoSec field you have a wide variety of jobs you can do.

With your BBA and IT experience you could transition into IT Audit (with a CISA) and decent paying jobs which are always in demand.

If you like application security, start to learn programming.

Whatever you decide pick a field and start, its not going to be easy but you will reach your goal with a lot of hard work and a little patience.

Stop starting new threads, you have asked the same question in different ways for the last few days. Make up your mind if you need to go into SAP or security.
