I'm thinking of going for MCITP once I'm finished with CCNP, and was wondering how difficult MCITP is compared to CCNA and to CCNP. How much time should I put aside for MCITP?
Thank you
Thank you

Cisco and Microsoft are two vendors who provide solutions for different market segments. Plus, there is no such certification as MCITP. Presumably, you refer to MCITP: Enterprise Administrator.
All that said, here is my opinion on the subject. In order of overall difficulty:
MCSA
MCITP: SA
CCNA
MCITP: EA
MCSE
CCNP -

To be fair I haven't done ICND2 for the full CCNA, but I would rank the SA as harder than that just based on what i've seen. Maybe i've got more experience and aptitude with Cisco than I do with MS, but trying to wrap my head around the 70-642 was painful.WGU BS:IT Completed June 30th 2012.

MCITP:EA/MCSE are definitely harder than CCNA, and CCNP is definitely harder than MCSA/MCITP:SA. Outside of that, yeah, the order is disputable.
