On arrival at the designated test centre on the specified day, the test administrator verifies identity of the candidate and grants him access to the test terminal. In case of online enrollment, candidates are required to bring hall ticket with their photograph duly affixed on it alongwith photo id proof (as mentioned on the hall ticket) which is verified by the test administrator before allowing the candidate to take the test.
Taking the test on the NCFM’s automated testing system is very simple. The candidate is provided a practice test to familiarise himself before the actual test. On punching the registration number, the system generates a completely new and unique question paper consisting of questions selected randomly from a vast question bank. The system ensures that although the candidates get different questions in a question paper, the same level of difficulty is maintained for each of them. The questions are followed by four probable answers. The correct alternative needs to be indicated by click of the mouse. The time remaining to complete the paper is constantly displayed on the top right-hand corner. Once the candidate completes answering the question paper, he submits the same for evaluation. The answers are evaluated immediately and the marks are provided to him on the spot by the computer. There is, however, a system of negative marking for incorrect answers.
The method of answering questions is shown here with an example:
Q: NSE was incorporated in
a. June, 1994
b. November, 1992
c. April, 1993
d. December, 1993
If you think that alternative 'b' is the correct answer to this question, then click the mouse in the circle provided against the alternative ‘b’ in order to highlight it. You can edit your answer by clicking on any other alternative.
Model tests are also available on the NSE website. In order to familarise yourself about the pattern of the question paper, you may attempt model test papers of Derivatives Market (Dealers) Module, NSDL-Depository Operations Module, Capital Market (Dealers) Module, Securities Market (Basic) Module, Commodities Market Module, FIMMDA-NSE Debt Market (Basic) Module, Compliance Officers (Brokers) Module, Compliance Officers (Corporates) Module and Surveillance in Stock Exchanges Module.
Marks are provided to the candidate immediately on submission of the answer paper. A certificate is mailed to the successful candidates within 15 days of the test.
The candidate can bring only a scientific calculator and a pen to the examination hall and nothing else. No assistance is available during the test. Rough sheets are provided to the candidate for carrying out their workings. A backup sheet is provided to the candidate to list out the answers selected by him. The candidate is required to return the rough sheets and the backup sheet to the invigilator before leaving the test room. A candidate found using any unfair means (including use of mobile telephone) or in possession of any incriminating material during the test will be expelled from the examination hall and his test would be cancelled. The decision of the invigilator in this regard shall be final.
The certificate remains valid for 5 years from the date of the test for all modules except Derivatives Market (Dealers) Module, Commodities Market Module, Information Security Auditors Module and AMFI-Mutual Fund (Basic) Module. In case of AMFI-Mutual Fund (Basic) Module the certificate remains valid for life-time. In case of Information Security Auditors Module the certificate remains valid for 2 years. In case of Commodities Market Module and Derivatives Market (Dealers) Module the certificate remains valid for 3 years. In case of Derivatives Market (Dealers) Module, the certificate can be extended to 5 years by undergoing a prescribed and approved refresher course. This ensures that the candidate continuously updates his knowledge and skill. The course contents are revised frequently in tune with changes in the environment ensuring that the candidates passing out are equipped with the latest skills required in the industry. The NCFM Committee determines the standard of knowledge, skill and expertise necessary for different types of specialised functions in the financial markets at operational and supervisory levels and the questions to be included in the question bank.
You cannot have your scores cancelled. You may reappear for the same test to improve your scores by seeking fresh enrollment in the same module. In case of Information Security Auditors Module a certificate is issued only when candidate clears Part-1 and Part-2. In case, candidate wants to improve score in the said module, he has to clear again both Part - 1 and Part - 2 in order to obtain certificate with the revised scores.
