  Hi, Adarsh.

  It sounds like you should earn either the older MCPD certification title or the newer MCSD certification title.

  There are different types of each of these two (2) titles. Learn more about them using the following links:

  Older VS2010/.NET 4.0 MCPD: http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcpd-certification.aspx

  Newer VS2012/.NET 4.5 MCSD: http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsd-certification.aspx

  The three (3) MCPD for Visual Studio 2010 titles include a certification for Windows desktop applications using WinForms and WPF. They also include an ASP.NET certification using ASP.NET Forms/MVC. Both include data access (ADO.NET and EF) and WCF.

  The four (4) MCSD titles cover Web Development, Store Apps, SharePoint, and ALM with TFS.

  Alternately, if you are interested in becoming certified in SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2012, you can earn your MCSA. For SQL 2012, you can earn your MCSA and MCSE. Learn more at the following link:
  http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/sql-certification.aspx

  NOTE: There are two older MCITP certification titles still available for SQL Server 2008. However, you need to pass the required exams by July 31, 2014. Here is more info about the SQL Server 2008 MCITP titles:
  http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/sql-certification.aspx#item-ID0EBAAAABBA

  IMPORTANT: The newer MCSD certification titles require you to recertify every two (2) years while the MCSE titles require you to recertify every three (3) years. The older MCPD and MCITP titles never require recertification.

  Learn more about recertification here:

  Good luck!

  As far as exam descriptions are concerned...

   The exam 70-484 for C#/XAML store apps includes content for MVVM, here:
  http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/exam-70-484.aspx#item-ID0EEAAAAAAAAADBA

  As well, 70-599 Phone apps includes content for MVVM:
  http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/exam.aspx?ID=70-599#tab2

  I haven't found any Microsoft certification exams specific to just MVVM, or for using Prism for that matter.

  The only thing related to Prism on the course/exam listing is a course for Silverlight development:
  http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/course.aspx?ID=10554A&Locale=en-us#tab2

  As you might suspect, Microsoft learning is working hard on creating/maintaining certifications around the development of Windows 8.x store apps. That's the new stuff they are working on.

  Here's a cool blog on Prism to stay updated on how it relates to the latest .NET and Windows technologies:

  Good luck!
