Bala - Sorry I am late in a reply.
If you are not aware: IBM provides a free 90 day evaluation copy of MQ series. It is a full function copy.
The 5.x version runs on Windows.
I think maybe the 6.0 version is also available for Linux.
You should definitely get this, install it, and make sure you understand the example code.
Good luck. This is not really an easy certification
test.
