Ketan,
Programmer certification is not all that tough.
1. Get Kathy's or Philip Hellers book(as they are simple and certification oriented when compared to Khalid mughal) u can finish it in 8-12 days depending on number of hours u dedicate per day for studies.
2. Once you are done with these certification bibles solve as many as standard mock exams as you can, that might take another 8-10 days. Practising with a lot of mock exams will give you a lot confidence in your preparation.
3.Also keep hanging around in javaranch
, it will surely help you a lot.
Here is a big list of
Mock Exams listed by maha anna. They are really good.
