Dear Prasanna,

I have planned to write CSQA exam this June. I have filled the application & the rest of the formalities. I hold a B.E degree in production. I have been working for a S/w company for nearly 7 years. I have also taken a experience certificate from my company. I hope this qualifies me for applying for the exam??
