It does worth it to be certified ... It feels great.
But above all you need to ask yourself that at what extent do you wish to pursue it, i mean will you build up on it or just leave the coarse after the certification.
Certifications are a good way to attain knowledge, and be somewhat more noticeable to the employers also.

If you prepare yourself seriously (and not just to pass the exam), you will (as you already described in your 1st post) learn a whole bunch about the java programming language. And that will definitely benefit the quality of the code you write.

Basically, I am an engineering student which would be my career, but programming knowledge is required. So I would rather expose myself to more languages than strictly stick to java. Hence, there is a low chance that I would push on further. Hence, most probably I will leave the course, and try and build up on my practical knowledge instead, because currently I have none.
