Hi
MM won't suit you. You should go for PP or PM and these are more demanded modules as compare to MM. For cost and certification information you should contact any SAP academy in your country. If you are in India then there are many academies there which you can get from Google very easily.

Thank you very much..Can you please explain How my previous experiance will suit to PP rather than MM? The only reason for asking this question for better understanding to choose SAP module.
And please explain little deeper so that it will give good idea for any New SAP learner.

Hi Rajesh
You can study about PP PM and MM in Google and SAP help documents. MM deals with procurement and inventory stock etc which is not relevant to your degree or previous experience. PP deals with production planning but it is not mandatory to be an engineer for a PP consultant. I know many guys who are PP consultants after MBA or with other finance degrees. If I see you experience it is related to planning and other technical stuff which even I dont know so this is the reason I suggested you to go for PP.
I don't know about India but here in Pakistan there are many MM guys looking for jobs but there is a negative gap in jobs and available consultants but in PP companies are looking for certified consultants and there are hardly a few certified guys in SAP market.
Most important factor should be your personal interest. For being MM guy you should have knowledge of procurement processes, how we manage stocks, transfer of stocks and vendor relationship with comany. From your degree or past experience it doesn't look like you have this knowledge or even if you have it won't match with your profile. If you go for PP you'll have an edge of six years experience and when you will apply for some job you can take benefit of this six years experience.
This is my personal opinion which may be wrong for you or for others.
Thank$

SAP PP will be more useful for you if you are interested in product manufacturing,how products are made and what needs to be done before making a product.etc
