adding to other comments.
CCIE is a high-level of certification in the Cisco world. I know you do not need any prior certification.
But I consider having hands-on experience a minimum of 5-6 years before I get and pursue this kind of certification.
I believe in experience rather certification, i know some organisation need must certification, But my views always Experience Certification will be an addon.
Not that I want to disappoint here. this is a fact.
