Dear DS,
It is a wonderful career in SAP. Since you have a degree in MS-IT you can go in for ABAP, Basis.
I'm a CA and my specialisations include FI CO and MM modules.
But prior working experience helps.

All the best!

Jaya, How long does it take to get a certification in SAP ABAP & Financial module?I will be travelling to India in July and planning to take some courses over there.Could you please let me know the course details and the cost associated too?

Does one need to be working in a professional field to do SAP cert.?
What exactly is this course that can be done in 25 days?
Is there some SAP module that a non-IT person with no work experience can do?

I am moving back to India in a year and looking for courses that I can do there please suggest about SAP. Thanks!

Hi Nithya,
There are different modules in SAP:
1)MM- Material Management -related to purchasing
2) SD-Sales and Distribution-related to sales
3) FI CO- Finance and controlling
4) HR-related to HR
5) PM- Plant maintenance
6) Quality
7) ABAP-Programming
8) Basis

So a person need not work in professional field to learn SAP.
Anyways, core experience in that particular filed helps( say for eg, HR,Finance etc)

The 25 days essentially means a student will be taught about the back end related works, configuration relating to a particular module.

So depending upon your specialisation, you can choose a module.
Siemens certification helps, but it costs around Rs.2.50 lacs( exam fee Rs. 25000 plus taxes).
For CA's ICAI conducts at a concessional rate of Rs.96000/

All the best!

Best regards,
Savvyheal

Hi,
SAP has two core modules:

SAP Technical Module

SAP Functional Module

For non IT graduate SAP functional modules are best option. In functional module there are various courses - SAP SD (sales & distribution), FI (finance), PP (production planning), QM (quality management), MM (material management), PLM (plant maintenance), etc.
