Senthil, the CSM certificate is offered by ScrumAlliance.org.  Have you reviewed their material on the certification here?  From my understanding, the classroom training is mandatory, and must be done in-person.  The test itself I believe is done online, but can only be taken after the classroom portion is completed.  The test is considered relatively easy once the classroom portion is complete.



The PSM, hosted by Scrum.org (this site) is a comparable certificate.  It is a self-study variant of Scrum certification, and can be completed entirely online.  Conversely, the test is considered much more difficult than the CSM, with a higher threshold of correct answers to pass.  Information can be found here, as well as study tips on the forums.
