IBBI's Valuation Examinations are the licensing exams for registered valuers in three asset classes: Land and Building, Securities or Financial Assets, and Plant and Machinery. Section 247 of the Companies Act requires valuations under the Act to be done by a registered valuer, and since 1 February 2019 only registered valuers may value under the Companies Act and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. IBBI sets the syllabus and pass mark; NISM runs enrolment and the test centres.

IBBI's FAQ puts the paper at 87 questions: 74 of 1 mark and 13 of 2 marks, the 2-mark questions in three case studies (12, 8 and 6 marks).
