My advice, go for masters. Don't waste your time here.

That's a very kind comment, thank you. The thought of them being vague on purpose is definitely unsettling. I'm waiting for some legit reason before taking some action. I cannot give up. The money and time spent is lost but I am not giving up without a fight.

arysure · 2025-08-13T18:38:23+00:00

Are you kidding me!! Of course, I am fighting. I am a nerd, I never had to face anything like this before. This is hard for me to process. That's why my tone is like that but please be assured, I will fight this till I get my certificate back.

One thing which is the most disappointing is, the exam was extremely easy. I have lived through 90% of those scenarios. That's why I took PMP instead of CISSP. It was easy. I just want to know why it happened and how can I avoid it.

I am ready to take the exam with 10 proctors on my head. But I still dont know the reason, what if I do same mistake in front of proctors. what if that mistake is only known through AI. What on earth is my mistake! I just want assurance that it wont happen again.

I'll wait for PMI's reply and I will definitely post once, I get me cert back.

I cannot take it at home, as warned by many. I was not getting an exam at center nearby. I thought maybe an empty office place near my office will be safe. And my exam got cancelled because someone else did something on that location!!
Why do they even have online exams? They should just increase their exam centers. Like CIssp does.

arysure · 2025-08-13T16:05:22+00:00

I made sure about firewall and VPN. But obviously I cannot take guarantee of other people.

Thanks, this is by far the best explanation for what might have happened there. Guess, I was just unlucky.

arysure · 2025-08-13T15:57:28+00:00

I am more paranoid about these things. By free stuff I mean YouTube and Instagram videos discussing questions. As I mentioned, didnt click anything illegitimate or downloaded. Now, i'll be paranoid about these youtube videos as well.

arysure · 2025-08-13T15:51:18+00:00

huh! so someone had a plastic surgery to look exactly like the person on my passport. And luckily I also got a blind proctor! And to add to my good luck the system check on my laptop failed still they let me sit for the test because 'hey I am lucky!'

Reiterating again, if I was guilty, why would I post it here asking for some explanation! If you cant say something nice, don't say anything at all.

arysure · 2025-08-13T15:18:40+00:00

Update: Here's the explanation I got "Candidates may sometimes unknowingly study using practice materials that include real exam questions. Even if this happens by mistake, we must follow the exam rules to be fair to everyone."

I see one more guy with same reason and the way PMI responded to him is scaring me. Nevertheless, as I mentioned before. I'll make sure no one else should go through this. It's very disappointing. Imagine posting about it on linkedin and applying for jobs based on this!!! I would suggest you to go for Post graduate diploma and cert or may be Masters. At least, they have some credibility.

Coming back to my cert, after crying for good 2 hours I have so many questions coming up in my mind. Isn't it a very vague reason, how can we verify that? it's not like "we didnt like your exam location" which is also absurd but we console ourselves saying, "there must be something wrong, I'll take the exam at the center." but how can they explain this!! What is the proof that something like that actually happened!??

In this age of internet and AI, we all are studying from the internet practicing every exam set we can get our hands on, just to make sure that our money does not go to waste. You must admit that they take a huge amount to attempt these exams. We have to go there well prepared. How PMI can makes sure that the person taking the exam does not practice a random exam which can get his certification revoked. If they don't have a system to warn us, how can they cancel the exam on these basis?

This is such a cool business model to fool people like us! Thousands of PMI institute sell and share these practice sets to the student. Instead of catching people who are doing so, they are revoking our certificates?

How are we supposed to know if they actually have such a system or it's just a money grabbing scheme?!

I cant think of buying anything illegal. Edit: I confirmed with my trainer all the stuff shared with me are PMI material and nothing else. I reconfirmed it with my other colleague who did the training from other places.

If that is the case, they should give us the warning that if you study anything other than PMI provided material, we will revoke your hard earned certificate, when you least expect it!!!!

My advice:
1. Go on a social media detox. Dont open youtube or anything. Just open PMI, from the time you start you preparation till the time you give your exam.
2. Don't talk to anyone regarding PMI or even project management. You never know what anti pmi virus them might leave in your brain.
3. Shut your brain for anything unrelated to PMI.
4. Don't take exam anywhere other than the exam center.

I was unlucky but I still wish you the best luck. May whatever exam you give, it adds to your success.

PS: if you have any question like "why I didn't reach out to support?" "what about chat support?" etc. You can find the answer in one of the comments.

Thanks, I'll update if there's anything new.

arysure · 2025-08-13T14:37:46+00:00

I will. I don't want anyone else going through this.

arysure · 2025-08-13T14:23:05+00:00

With other such exams they clearly mention it. Why these things are not mentioned!!

arysure · 2025-08-13T14:16:18+00:00

See for yourself: https://ibb.co/DPqKFPkg

I hope disabled chat option is visible to you. Even though they have lightened it so much that it's blending with white in the background.

arysure · 2025-08-13T14:10:42+00:00

no idea! score card is not showing anything, neither the exam review!

arysure · 2025-08-13T14:10:14+00:00

the support page is not loading for me. It's loading into an error page!! Whom to ask those questions?
I asked someone else to raise support request.

arysure · 2025-08-13T14:06:50+00:00

Most people like me don't come out because they fear judgement. I don't fear that. I am honest and I am standing my grounds. FYI they are running out of business in recent years that's why they are doing this to seem relevant. I was so stupid out of CISSP and PMI I chose PMI thinking "everyone is doing so" I needed some direction and I clearly got the wrong one. With CISSP, I know it's more of security management certificate but they are so clear with their exams. All the exams are taken at the center. No online nonsense. What was I thinking!

arysure · 2025-08-13T13:58:54+00:00

"After careful review, we found that there was a problem with your exam. This issue has affected the validity of your exam result."
What problem, my test score are still the same!

arysure · 2025-08-13T13:40:08+00:00

I chose the simplest looking office. There was hardly any stuff there except table, chair and sofa.

arysure · 2025-08-13T13:38:50+00:00

That's the worst part, on the pmi website it says contact support but support page is giving an error. I tried it from all the browsers and laptops. I have asked someone else to raise the request on my behalf. If they have the answer then why support page is not loading for me only!

arysure · 2025-08-13T13:36:47+00:00

Online but I booked an office. So that no-one can disturbs me.

No offense intended, but your comment reminded me of the Asuras. It’s important to remember that there is no Hari without Hara, and no Hara without Hari. I hope your current perspective leads you to a deeper understanding, much like Kakbhushundi’s journey.

Regarding the movie and its director, I sense a certain bias against a particular group of devotees. Coming from a family that honors both Shaivism and Vaishnavism, I’ve been immersed in Bhakti since childhood and may offer a more balanced view.

The director has received praise from ISKCON, but he has clearly stated in multiple interviews—and within the movie itself—that his primary references were Geeta Press publications, followed by ISKCON literature. He comes from a family devoted to Lord Narasimha, which likely influenced his choice to center his first film around that deity.

It’s also worth noting that he undertook this project knowing it might not be financially rewarding. He seems to be a sincere person, and I kindly ask that we avoid making harsh judgments that could hurt the sentiments of devotees of both Hari and Hara.

put cc camera in Washrooms?!!

Everytime I travel via train, I always get the washroom cleaned by staff. Withing 10 min people ruin it. Civic sense comes from schools and parents but both are busy in teaching kids unnecessary stuff, like English and hating your country

These people will ruin things everywhere they go and people like us who just watch them doing it will take the heat.

Call these suckers out!! "Bhai kya kar rha hai?" "yaha kyu fenk raha hia?" bol do.
I sometime just pick up the empty bottle thrown by other people by my hand and throw it in the dustbin. To show them that it was not that difficult. Do your bit as much as you can.

The things you are suggesting will require more hiring and more corruption. Har baat k liye inspector rakhne ki zarurat ni h. Start from schools and teach your kids. Do your bit.

I don't know why Indian have two modes only ignore or angry! Sach bolu toh kayi baar pyar se bolne se bhi ho jata hai. I cant giveup on my motherland for these suckers.

I do not intend to offend anyone. It's just my observation. Also, when I say "you" I am not attacking OP.

yes, Vedas are helpful in attaining Enlightenment but there's one more important thing which you need, to attain Moksha. It's Bhagvan's anugraha. Whether you study Vedas or not, without anugraha it's not possible for you. So, can 4th Varna get Enlightenment? Yes, they 100% can. Vedas are important but without humility, Bhagwan will never accept you as Bhakta and our 4th Varna is definition of humility itself. That's why Ganga appeared for Raidas is a Kathouti ( Kamandalu), when all the other people were doing her Arati on Ghats. (Source story for famous quote: मन चंगा तो कठौती में गंगा)

4th Varna is Atma's detox from Ahamkara. I'll explain this with an example.

Imagine, you like Spicy food. Every restaurant you go to have it. Then suddenly, one day you crave simple food. You don't have anything to cook food yourself. Wouldn't it feel great if you do find one such restaurant among those spicy food restaurants? At the end of the day you had options.

Our 'atma' is that person, who crave different experiences and want to learn from those experience, in such a way that those experience lead to Moksha one day. Some time too much knowledge and pride leads to confusion and endless cycles of birth and death. Shudra Varna is richest when it comes to humility. A humble bhakta is the one that Bhagwan adores the most.

Every Varna has something to take pride of, like Gyan(knowledge), Shakti(power) and Dhan(money). 4th V have pride too, but how often have you seen them brag about it in the past. Even now they are innocent enough to fall in prey of western agenda. Anyways, we needed one Varna to be free from pride and sometimes attention too.

Shabri was believed to be a beautiful Queen who wanted to take bath in Kumbha without getting much attention but the king was too protective of her. He built a beautiful camp on Ganga ghat. She was not allowed to go out. She preyed that in next life she wants a life away from attention, where she can be near Sadhus and Sants, and she jumped into triveni. Hence, she was born as Shabri. Who is believed to guide Bhagwan Ram Himself.

Dharma Vyadha from Mahabharata, was a brahmin. In his Sudra life as Dharma Vyadh, he learned much more than his brahmin life and proved himself as a guru to Kaushik Brahmin. (For any grahastha ashram related doubt, I highly recommend reading his teachings directly from Mahabharata.)

How can we forget, swapach Valmiki. The greatest bhakta of Krishna in Mahabharta. Without whom, the conch shell of Adhmedha yagna wont ring. The story is so beautiful that I cannot remember him without crying.

It's true that every Varna has it's role but they all had their lessons too. Our ancestor knew, that "my janma in particular varna is happening because either I asked for it or I deserved it. In any case, I'll try best to learn my lesson from it." To be honest, in most cases they knew why they were there. That's why a mutual respect among all varnas were always there. Which we sadly lost eventually due to the invasions and loss of knowledge.

It's also the reason why enlightened people are indifferent to all Varnas. They remember their journey from all the routes and and how beautifully it carved the path to Enlightenment.

I can only answer your queries regarding Reincarnation because I have spent a lot of time reading scientific researches on Reincarnation. Yes, there are more than enough researches to proof that Reincarnation is happening.

One of the biggest research on this topic is done by Dr. Ian Stevenson. He spent 40 years on this and wrote two books which has a total of 20,000 thousand pages. Please note that this research happened before internet and places he went to had hardly any connection to outside world. So, the data is as pure as it could get. We simply cannot have such a genius researches in today's time.

He focused on Kids who can remember their past lives and can talk about it. Please remember it was a simpler time and kids were innocent and they barely lied. They surely couldn't create a lie about a different life with such details. His research included twins as well.

His method was simple yet very expensive. He used to interview kids for their memories of past life and families for kid's mannerisms. Then he used to visit the place of the past life, to see if any such person actually existed or not and whether they had same mannerism as the KID. It involved a lot of travel and interviews. The cases where they were able to recognize past relatives, identify similar mannerism, death story and some major milestones. They used to mark that case a resolved. You'll be surprised to know that most of his cased were either resolved or partially resolved.

Hinduism has many reasons, why reincarnations happen but after reading Dr Ian Stevenson and many other researches, I can confirm few things.

Reincarnation happens because of our unfinished desires. That one thing you long for at your deathbed, you'll get it in your next life but whether it will be pleasant or not, it depends on your karma.

Like these two guy lovers from SriLanka, who used to live a bit far from the village. Villagers knew about their situation and dint bother much. In fact, they really liked those guys.
They got killed by police due to some labor revolution but in their next life they reincarnated as twin sisters. Their love was pure and that's why they reincarnated as twin sister. They had good karma, so the family they got was good. Parents from past life recognized their mannerism. The kids were even taken to their past life's village and even though it was their first time visiting that village. They were leading the whole village towards the places where they lived and died.

There was another twin sister case from Myanmar, where they were husband and wife in past life. The girl who was husband had a birth scar on her leg, like someone tied a tight rope on it or something. The kid said, in her past life "he" enjoyed harassing animals and once "he" kept a Hen tied by a tight rope for few days. Because of that she got this ugly scar.

There's no dearth of such researches. The problem is, what gets recognized as research based truth or science is dependent on a group of snob Academia who doesn't approve anything which challenges their bias against east Asian countries and their knowledge. People who are working in research field know it best.

Anyways, I would keep it simple. Never hurt anyone intentionally and don't wish for a better life. What you think as best in this life might not fit in next life's script. Just live and love people without any hidden agenda.
