IBBI Registered Valuer Eligibility and How to Register
You need the right degree and years of experience before you can even book the exam. Here's the full route.
To become an IBBI Registered Valuer, you need a qualification in the right discipline, years of experience after it, membership of a Registered Valuers Organisation (RVO), its 50-hour course, and a pass in the valuation exam for your asset class. Only then can you apply to IBBI for registration.
The order matters. The Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017 open the exam only to people who already hold the qualifications and experience and have completed their RVO's educational course. You cannot sit the exam first and qualify later.
