I wanted to know whether computer certifications like cisco, microsoft and so on done as per the needs of a person weigh the same as a college degree say for three or four years done in computer science. I wanted to know only with respect to the weight age of degree recruiters look at when people apply for job. Say the technical knowledge of both the persons is same.

Though the certification degree is worth for getting knowledge and also for getting jobs the degree done in computer science say a professional degree in a reputed college is worth and has a separate value for screening purpose.
