hey guys,
Just giving my review since i've been to both.
In terms of set up, coordination, i personally feel the manipal center one is slightly better. The only real problem there though is finding parking. So if you go there just go by auto or cab. The place is quiet, you got to scan your palm everytime you step in and out of the exam room, and there is a glass separating the exam room from the person (invigilator?/helper?) sitting outside. The person also has a monitoring screen to monitor each test taker. This person was different from the person helping people sign in etc. Lastly, the exam room was quite spacious.
Now as for the one at koramangala, the only thing i really liked was that i got parking.
. There was no security guard to tell me to switch off my phone. There were two people at one desk. The main guy handling, signed people in and monitored the test takers. He ran in and out quite a few times. He forgot to scan test takers' palms after they were done with the exam or when they took their breaks. The exam room was smaller with no glass separation. The place was overall small.
And most importantly, my exam got postponed.
i was supposed to do it at the Koramangala center and they had a technical issue. They weren't able to fix it by 5:40 pm. my exam was scheduled for 5pm and i got there an hour early hoping i could start immediately. So they gave me the option to reschedule and i obviously took it since i knew i wasn't pumped enough to sit for 4 more hours in front of the pc.
