I'm not aware about the situation in India, but you seem to wonder if there are arguments to do a 10g certification in stead of an oracle9 one. I would do the opposite: wonder if there are arguments to do a 9 certification. An oracle10 cert will last longer, and it's IMHO easier to administer a 9 with a 10 cert, than vise versa. But that's my view.
