in this case, any of the mentioned certificates should do the job. I will probably start with the 98-361 Software Development Fundamentals

ty sir, Yes i m getting very less interview calls because of my software testing profile and i am considered fresher in software development.. In many job applications there is mentioned .net certification required or candidate with certification preferred.. last week also i got a call where the girl asked me do you have any certification..

So that why i am thinking of getting certification so i can attend more job interviews and chances of getting my CV shortlisted..

Hi, passing these exams won't make you a good programmer. The answers to the exam questions can be easily found on internet, so from my point of view they are useless.

I am afraid you will have hard times to find such a job with zero experience. I suggest you start with microsoftvirtualacademy.com . That is a great place of free .net lessons for begginers up to skilled developers.
