[FaadiKhan]

I have studies CCNA, CCNP, and CCIE (R&S) courses but not yet certified, if would like to go for CCIE Exam, is it necessary to be a CCNA & CCNP Certified? or i can attempt CCIE without CCNP certification?

This is the "official" statement from www.cisco.com/go/ccie:

Prerequisites

There are no formal prerequisites for CCIE certification. Other professional certifications or training courses are not required. Instead, candidates must first pass a written qualification exam and then the corresponding hands-on lab exam. You are expected to have an in-depth understanding of the topics in the exam blueprints and strongly encouraged to have three to five years of job experience before attempting certification.

Hi

As other members have mentioned, there is no any requirement to get the CCIE but from my point of view and how you already did is study the CCNA and CCNP courses before in order to get ready and get the knowledge required for the CCIE, because once you are preparing for the CCIE you will see it contains a lot of information, you'll get a deep knowledge and you must have strong knowledge. 

The CCIE is a long way, a lot of hours of study, slepless nights, etc. but you must be organized and create a calendar of studies. The experiences with the technologies and troubleshooting are important as well. 

Hope it is useful
