In a promising development, a 7-year-old Pakistani girl has become the world’s youngest Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) professional.
She has broken the record set by an Indian girl named K. Visalini in 2015, when she was only 11 years old. Visalini had broken the record set by a Pakistani boy when he was 12 years old in 2008.
According to reports, Ayesh Fatima, who is based in Karachi, passed the certification with flying colours. CCNA focuses on the technology and skills required to work with networks of 100 nodes or less, including IP and non-IP networks such as IPX and AppleTalk.
The CCNA certification is divided into six sections. Network fundamentals, network access, IP connectivity, IP services, security fundamentals, and automation and programmability are all covered.
To become a CCNA professional, one must pass the CCNA 200-301 exam, which consists of 100 questions that must be answered in 2 hours, and obtain an overall score of more than 82.5 percent.
Ayesh received 80% in network fundamentals and network access, 84 percent in IP connectivity, 90 percent in IP services, 73% in security fundamentals, and 100% in automation and programmability.
