CCIE R and S New version first impression

No success stories....

There were mixed reactions from all side regarding the new version change...

From now there is no question papers... Diagrams everything will be computer based....
Trouble shooting - Hard to solve
Lab - Not possible to complete within 5.5 hours..

Changes are good , but what will cisco acheive with all these changes....Cisco has made the exam complex..Cisco closed the doors infront of those guys who have 5-6 years of exp.

As per cisco these moves were against dumps ...
When they introduced OEQ they were telling the same thing... It affected lot of experienced persons... Consider the case of Darby Weaver..He have lot of experience.. He took his lab 6th time..Now he failed because of OEQ .. No one have doubts over his technical knowledge...

Now regarding the recent changes no one will try to experience the exam heat... In turn if there were no ccie's what will be the future of ccie certification..

My suggestion is to make the theory exam little more difficult..create a pool of 2000 questions and ask questions from those..Now i know lot of ccie written passed guys who studied dumps and passed the written...So if it is against the dumpers ,first implement it in theory exam...
If not there will be business strategy behind that which is not at good in educational point..

I am confused, depressed..I spend over 4 years for my ccie dream..I failed in the first attempt... Yes , i accept that.. Yes i am depressed .. I want to get out from that shell.. I want to fight again.. But how will I... All my hardwork everything will be wasted now...

I am 26 now.I started the fight when i am 22...I spend my life time for cisco studies... completed CCNP,CCSP,CCDP and attempted CCIE Lab..
I lost the job because of my ccie lab dream..

Now i failed in front of everyone....Some colleagues have fun regarding my ccie lab attempt.. I want to show my capabilities in front of everyone by passing the exam.I know the technologies..
But making exam untouchable for guys like me who have 5 years of exp. cisco is doing little bit cruelty to us..In some discussion forums some people trying to say that the ccie exam will be only for guys who have more than 10 years of experience...


Now having CCNP,CCSP,CCDP and lot of other certs and real industry experience now i am going to sit in my home... In my country India there were lot of political plays behind a recruitment ..I know this reality from my friends...I am not writing anything regarding that..

If the things continue like this i will be the first martyr to the certification streams who spend his good part in life time for certifications and gaining knowledge and industrial experience.

I am not DEMOTIVATING any one...This blog is created to MOTIVATE everyone towards ccie.
But its m personal experience...
