Hi,

I have 5 years experience in .Net and sql. And I have completed 70-511(.Net framework 4.0) and 70-503(WCF) and now i'm MCTS. But I have seen that most of the exams are no more valid and some are going to expire in July 2015. Please let me know which certification I can do now? i have heard about MCSA and MCSE. Is it related to .NET certification? Or Do I have to do something else?

None.
In my humble opinion certifications aren't that important. On the other hand, experience it is important. So if you want to master a technology, study it, and use it in real life.

Agree (a 5). I don't answer such questions though. I suggest we consider them off-topic.
Certification is just yet another kind of bureaucracy around software development, has nothing to do with software development and computer itself...

I cannot see who would need it, ever. I would not trust certification at all.

I mean, not only experience is important, there is a lot more, education. But certification has nothing to do with real knowledge.
