I agree that it would be a better idea to spend money on buying new hardware instead of joining an Institute. But I think there are some units in those modules where you have to learn Networking with a cluster of systems. It won't be easy to do that at home, although I am aware of various network simulation softwares available these days. Are there any suggestions regarding learning the networking part of the exam at home?
