Hi @KrishnaraoK ,

The first step is to navigate to developer.servicenow.com and create account. Request a PDI (Personal Developer instance). Start exploring it and create your account on Servicenow University. Start with Welcome to servicenow course. After it go for Welcome to servcienow Micro certification. Then go for Servicenow admin fundamentals. Once you complete all thse, you will get an idea od the platform and on servicenow university- you will get a lot of career journey so explore and see what suits to you - Technical project Manager or Platform owner then go for that journey.

All this is possible if you are disciplined and consistent in self learning else better suggestion is to join any training.
