goog answer rizwan i appriciate that.

It is good question....i am telling you the deatils...

ISTQB is one of the biggest certifications on testing that 
is accepted world-wide.

There are two parts is ISTQB xam...
1.ISTQB Foundation level....

2.ISTQB Advance level...

Both xam will be based on just manual testing...if u clear 
the foundation level xam then only u can appear for the 
advance level xam....for foudation level u need to register 
urself by going istqb site and if u get 70% marks...then u 
will pass...otherwise not...bcos it is a 40 marks xam...and 
u have to get 27 out of 40...after clearing the foundation 
level u can appear for the advance level ...and again that 
time u must have experience in testing minimum 3 yrs ....

if u clear both of these,u will get more on-site 
oppor.tunity...bocs clients from outside India are very 
much interested on those testers who has ISTQB 
Certification.
