About CCNP and CCNA Validity

crsrivathsan

Hi,

My CCNA certification ends on January 2013, i dint try to attempt CCNP all these days, but now i feel like giving it since my CCNA will be having no value after this,
MY QUESTION IS:
Is is necessary to complete all 3 (SWITCH,ROUTE and T-SHOOT) before the CCNA expiry(jan 2013) date or just any one is enough so that i can take rest two exams after the expiry date??
It would be really helpful for me if i get an answer for this question.
Thanks in advance.
