I do not think the rate of CCIEs has increased so much....The average ovre
the years has been steady within 1000 per year a few years earlier to about
1600-1800 per year now....
In the last 2 months since I cleared on Jan 25, there have been 300 CCIEs
added so that still maintains the same average.....

A little increase is uavoidable...since the market is also growing atleast
in the asia pac regions....

Regards,
Vijay.

I would focus your energy on what you can control, like becoming a
world-class engineer. Those are always in short supply.

I dont personally believe the lab is any easier or harder than it was in
years
past, I do believe that are more people now still wanting to be in IT,
than
there were in the last 10 years, and the
value will always be based on the supply and demand that the market can
handle
or needs...

  Hi group,

  I see the truth that the number of CCIEs grows faster today than
before. I
took and passed the lab on 19 March, got the number #11285 and I notice
that
Mr Ozan Ocal, CCIE #11318, got his number on 22 March. It means that we
have
about 33 new CCIEs (11318-11285) in only 3 days (19 to 22 March).
Someone told
me that the number of new CCIEs is 400 each month this year, is it true?
If it
is true, in this year we will have about new 4,800 CCIEs.

  The CCIE program started in 1994 and up to this time, it's about 10
years
long, and the total number of CCIEs in the world is now about 10,300
(the
first CCIE got number 1025). It means that on average the number of
CCIEs
grows 1,030 each year (10,300/10). But compare with the number above,
4,800
this year, how do you think? Does this mean that, when the number of
CCIEs
increases faster, CCIE certification is easier to get and the value of
the
certification decreases?
