I have a BSc in Physical Science in 2009 Delihi India. Since I was more interested in programming, I obtained another BSc in Software Engineering in a private campus. However, it was not that much accredited ( I just wanted to learn and get a job only at that time). While working, I obtained Master of Science Information Technology. I am working as a software engineer. My questions:
  • Which certification I should get (all my jobs and duties align with 2173 software engineering, but MS is in IT) : APEGS or CIPS
  • If I go with APEGS, will my MS in IT will be enough ? I have 3 years of work experience after MS.
  • Can I apply SINP if APEGS does not offer professional certificate ? What if I get engineer-in-training ? What I should get from APEGS to apply for SINP as the minimum?
  • If APEGS is not the one, then my qualifications are enough to get CIPS license ?
Could someone please help me with any information ?
 
The SINP website lists the licensing requirements for NOCs. 2173 is CIPS. Check CIPS for requirements.

Thanks.. Actually I went though SINP sites, I noticed that for 2173, they have given both APEGS and CIPS . Do you say "CIPS" based on the job or the academic qualifications?

I see different professional certificates in CIPS. (Information Systems Professional (I.S.P.) , Information Technology Certified Professional (ITCP) , Associate Information Technology Professional (AITP) / Candidate Membership ) . Which one would be the one I should check ? Is it fine to go with what match with my academic and experience ?
