Hi Pavan,
For you, to start with following exams link I have provided. You should clear following web application exam first
MCTS: Microsoft .NET Framework 4, Web Applications
Once you done with above exam then you can got to SharePoint following exams
As you might aware, SharePoint has 2010 and 2007 version, so you need to achieve any of one. I think first 2 paper from following is the best option for you.
SharePoint and SharePoint Server
Certification
Exam number
MCTS: Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Configuration
MCTS: Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Application Development
MCTS: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, Configuration
MCTS: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, Application Development
Once you will become MCTS in SharePoint then you should do following exam where one paper (exam 70-667) you have done by above MCTS exam already by that time.
Microsoft SharePoint Server
MCITP: SharePoint Administrator 2010
Let me know if you need further information on this
I hope this helps,

Hi Pavan
First, should prepare for
SharePoint Configuration
You should install SharePoint on one of (VM or Real) windows server 2008, then start using it
MCTS: Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Configuring
Training material for above exam:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?ID=70-667&locale=en-us#tab3
And simultaneously also you should focus on Practice on SharePoint 2010, which will help you to pass this exam in first attempts
(I think, you need 6 months of experience and training to become MCTS – SharePoint 2010 Configuring)
Once you done with above
You can start preparing
Exam 70-573: TS: Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Application Development
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?ID=70-573&locale=en-us#tab1

Hi,
There are different level of certifications:
1) Technology Associate
2) Technology Specialist
3) Professional
4) Master
As a newbie, you need to begin with option 1 or 2. I would recommend you to have at least 1 year of experience before jumping into Technology Specialist or above level certifications. For further details, I would suggest one of the blog post:
