Very soon, Cisco Systems will be updating its new Certification exams and on the 24th of Feb, 2020 we will have new exams available to certify in order to become Cisco CCNA, CCNP, CCIE certified.

About CCNA certification, we all know that every track got combined to form a composite exam known as 200-301 CCNA.

Similarly, CCIE exams had a new lab exam version introduced like Security V6, Data Center V3, Collaboration V3, Service Provider V5, and Enterprise Infrastructure V1.

Now CCNP exams have been divided into two parts,

For every track, we have a new core and multiple concentration exams among which you can choose one to be a CCNP certified.
