Unfortunately, I have to agree with you. One chap who joined my old company
was a freshly minted CCNP. He didnt know how to flash a switch. Nor did he
have any router experience. He did have experience taking global
knowledgecurve classes for the CCNP.
I wish him luck.

Subject: CCNP 2.0 completed and is a joke!!!
Hi there,
I completed my CCNP 2.0 on 3rd Jan. 2001 (scores between 82-89%) within a
space of 6 weeks.
I feel the high standard from CCNP 1.0 to CCNP 2.0 exams has dropped
considerably. I failed my ACRC exam back in August and was forced to
abandon it due to the expiry date. ACRC was a good standard exam. That was
the true level of testing! The passing score for the old CCNP 1.0 exams was
79%, whilst now (for CCNP 2.0) it's a sheepishly low 69%.
I managed to pass the new BSCN and CIT exams in under three weeks without
ANY prior Cisco experience. I feel the passing score should be increased to
79% instead if 69%, otherwise CCNP 2.0 will end up flooding the market and
decreasing it's value like Microsoft exams.
I don't feel Cisco should be dropping their standards in Professional
Certifications.
Just my thoughts...What do you guys reckon?
Regards.
Ashfaq
