Your graduation does not have anything to do with SCJP.
If you know Java, you know it :-)

but when i google search scjp eligibility every site says you gotta be a graduate.....
am confused!

Welcome to the Ranch
If you are getting a degree, why do you need SCJA?

thankyou so much ... i just want to enhance my career prospects in java and hence want to clear scjp... i had a misconception that i had to be a graduate to do that! since now its gone! i want know good books to do the same (clear scjp)

Just few days before i say somebody posting in certifiction result that he has cleared OCEWCD 6 exam . And that guy was only 16 years old. Graduation does not have any connection with Ocpjp or for that matter any certification. if you know java then you can appear in it and clear it
