Frustrating is an understatement...The proctoring in the Bangalore Lab is
the height of unprofessionalism...
First of all the sits in the lab and
attends phone calls on his mobile phone...and keeps talking...its so
disturbing...when one of us told him ...he went outside...Its really appaling
how a CCIE moreso a PROCTOR can be so inconsiderate and ignorant...
He is
absolutely of no assistance...Once when someone had asked him a simple
question like "I just wanted to confirm the question with you if we have to
use X or Y"...the answer he gave was.."Read the question carefully and do not
try to read between the lines and intstead focus on the wordings
carefully"..as though if CCIE lab exam a test of English language not
Technology expertise..If he himself doesnt understand the question...he should
have said he doesnt understand...If this is the aptitude level of Proctors
assigned for proctoring a CCIE lab exam...I think Cisco should seriously
consider conducting a exam to ascertain the credibility of proctors..they send
out a very wrong impression about Cisco to Networking Community...
Far from
being helpful...you get an impression that he is not too happy to see you pass
and just doesnt want to help you...maybe he genuinely doesnt know ...He is
only too happy bragging about his achievements during the lunch break...that
he is a CISSP,BS7799 certified and so on......I have lost faith in the
Bangalore center...you get an impression that this guy will purposely fail
you...even if it means screwing around with your script..JUST TO MAINTAIN A
GOOD FAILURE RATIO.....
I have reliable information that Cisco has recently
started indulging in a very alarming,dangerous and highhanded trend of holding
results of a candidates indefinitely....(Could be merely based on a complaint
from Proctor)..... saying that they have evidence..WITHOUT ACTUALLY PRODUCING
ANY EVIDENCE TO THE CANDIDATES.
IF THEY HAVE EVIDENCE WHY DOESNT CISCO PROVE
THEIR ALLEGATION....
IS IT FAIR TO SUSPEND ANYONE'S RESULT JUST ON THE BASIS
OF SUSPICION?....IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK OR EXPECT OF CISCO TO BE FAIR AND
TRANSPERENT AND PROVE THAT THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN SUCH EXTEREME STEP JUST ON THE
BASIS OF A COMPLAINT FROM THE PROCTOR...(HOW CAN THE PROCTOR COMPLAIN(IN CASE
HE HAS....) WHEN THE CANDIDATE HAS NOT DONE ANY MALPRACTICE IN THE EXAM ??)
WHY ARE THEY NOT COMING OUT TO PRESENT THE EVIDENCE...AND PROVE IT..OR .....IS
IT LIKE
"NO QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED COZ UD GET NO ANSWERS??"...
LOOKS LIKE
CISCO DOESN'T LIKE TOO MANY PEOPLE PASSING THEIR CCIE FROM THIS PART OF THE
WORLD....
REGARDS....
