You can take 70-486 directly if you wish. It does not have any prerequisites. Note, however, that this exam uses the C# language, not VB.NET. There is (yet) no equivalent exam available in VB.NET.

Hi Dhiraj,

Danny is correct here. Microsoft did not publish VB.NET versions of exams for Visual Studio 2012 or 2013. For the current Web Developer track, you will need to know C#, HTML5, JavaScript and CSS3. The exam numbers for this track are 70-480, 70-486, and 70-487.

Visual Studio 2010 was the last time you had the option to take exams in C# or VB.NET.
