Dear Arjun,
I had different experiences in India. And generally, when I met other people, they had similar experiences, too.
We had an office in India and I was looking forward to getting an experienced IT person. After delicate sifting thru the CVs, I finally short-listed 3 people and I chose the guy with the most certificates. This was rather because of the distance from HQ and India. After a month, I paid a visit to India and I started suspecting that this guy could not live up to his certificates. After a while, we had an emergency and we asked him to provide us connectivity to a server in the DMZ of of huge CSP in India. All he needed to do was to plug in the 3G modem in USB port and after running it and turning it on, to check the IP and tell us in order to connect it remotely. It is a basic procedure, is it not? He could not do it and there were not any technical issues. This guy had at least 10 IT certificates (ITIL, COBIT, etc etc.)
My colleages in (regards to Adela Dorofei and Anton Nikolaev) Moldova and Kazakhstan have always asked certain questions in interviews and then let it be a sys admin or db admin or a programmer, all job interviews ended up before a terminal and with live demo of skills.
Long story short, if you are good, you do not need the certificate. For it does not count, at least, for India. Dont waste your money. If you want to make a difference, I would kindly propose create a blog, a channel on youtube and try to put some articles/videos about programming. I have had the best videos from India on Jira, Organization Development, Enterprise Architecture etc. And when you will try to put the effort, it will develop you much more than preparing for a formatted certification exam.
Kind regards,
NKU
