Finish CCNA in One College Vacation
A college vacation is the perfect CCNA window: the course takes 2–3 months — almost exactly one summer break — and with the institute open 8 AM–9 PM daily, vacation students can stack classes and lab hours and return to college with a Cisco certification in progress or done.
Why vacations work so well
- Time-matched: the 2–3 month duration fits a summer break, or a winter break + weekends finish
- Full lab access: free mornings mean serious hands-on hours on real Cisco routers and switches — the part hostel self-study can't give you
- Zero clash with academics: return to college with your semester untouched and a certification your classmates don't have
Options by where you live
In/near Ahmedabad (incl. Gandhinagar, Nadiad, Mehsana): daily classroom + lab. Elsewhere in Gujarat: live online through the vacation with an Ahmedabad lab visit or two for real-hardware time. Either way: ₹21,000, placement support included, and a free demo class before you commit. Planning tip: seats in vacation months fill early — call 97122 00004 ahead of your break.
Frequently asked questions
Can CCNA really be finished in one vacation?
A summer break covers the full 2–3 month course; a shorter winter break gets most of it done, finishing with weekend or online sessions after college resumes.
I'm from outside Ahmedabad — is vacation training possible?
Yes — join live online for the vacation, or stay in Ahmedabad for the classroom experience; students combine both with lab visits.
Which vacation is better — after which year?
Any works, but the vacation before your placement year is ideal: the certification is on your resume exactly when companies come to campus.
What does it cost?
₹21,000 with study material, lab access and placement support; installments available. Cisco's exam fee is separate when you book the exam.
