Jeff,
Thank you so much for your answers.
finally 2 questions, i will very appreciate if you could answer these questions as well?
1. If i am a MCTS (70-432) certified professional then also i have to write 2 papers for getting MCITP (70-450)? (Once again is it required to write 70-432 certification for 2nd time with mcitp?)
2. Is there any negative marking? if there then how much?

Hi,
1) No. You will only need to complete the 70-450 exam to get your MCITP.
2) How marks are calculated is not disclosed. Furthermore, you only receive a mark out of 1000 and you're not told which questions you got right or wrong.

Where did you hear that?
If you have already passed an exam, you can't take it again. The only way you can take it again is if you fauled it.
