IRDAI Eligible Trainee List and Enrollment Number
Your name has to be on IRDAI's list before III lets you book. How enrolment, the list and the booking connect.
You cannot book the III surveyor exam on your own. IRDAI first approves your trainee enrolment, then publishes your name in a list of eligible trainees for a specific exam session. Only then do you register with III, using the enrollment number IRDAI gave you.
The lists are titled "Eligible Trainees for Insurance Institute of India (III) Surveyor Pre-Licensing Examinations" with the session month, and IRDAI posts them on its surveyors page.

From Enrolment to Exam Booking
- 1
Create a user ID on IRDAI's BAP portal
At irdabap.org.in. Enrolment, the licence application and later changes all run through this portal.
- 2
Submit the trainee enrolment application
With your qualification documents, the department or departments you want, and your training mode: training under a surveyor or institutional training.
- 3
Receive the approval email
It carries your enrollment number and enrollment date. The 3-year limit to pass the exam and finish training runs from this date.
- 4
Find your name in the eligible trainee list
IRDAI publishes the list for the coming III session. If you applied for several departments, you are listed under one approved enrollment number.
- 5
Take IIISLA student membership
If you are not a member yet. Register as a student on the IIISLA portal (portal.iiisla.co.in).
- 6
Register for the exam on III's website
Enter the 10-digit enrollment number and the enrollment date. Book only the departmental papers you are enrolled for.
The Numbers You Will Be Asked For
- Enrollment number
- A 10-digit number in the form 10000XXXXX, from IRDAI's approval email. III's form takes the digits only.
- Enrollment date
- The approval date, entered as DD-MM-YYYY. It is also the date your 3-year validity counts from.
- IIISLA membership number
- From your student membership. You need membership to sit the exam, and the certificate again for NIA's final test and the licence.

Why There Are Several Lists
IRDAI approves enrolments in batches, and each batch that clears before the session gets its own list. For December 2026, applications submitted on or before 15 September 2026 were processed for that session. Apply well before the session you want; an application after the cut-off waits for the next one.
Common Problems and What IRDAI Says to Do
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| Approved, but no approval email | Take a screenshot of the enrolment status in your BAP login showing the approval date, and use it as proof for IIISLA and III. Raise an incident on BAP for the missing enrollment number. |
| Approved, but your name is missing or wrong in the list | Email the addresses given in that list's notice before its deadline, with the subject line the notice specifies. For the December 2026 first list the deadline was 9 October 2026. |
| Enrolled in an earlier year, not yet passed | You can register with III directly, without a new list, if at least 12 months of your 3-year validity remain. |
| Less than 12 months of validity left, or expired | Submit a re-enrolment application (Form 13) under your existing BAP user ID. Register for the exam only after it is approved, using the new enrollment number. |
Read Each Notice in Full
Every list comes with a notice that sets that session's cut-offs, contact emails and deadlines, and they change from session to session. The rules above are from IRDAI's December 2026 notice (Ref IRDAI/SUR/EXAM/ON/DECEMBER/2026). Check the latest notice on irdai.gov.in before you act.
What the List Does Not Do
It does not book your seat. III's own registration and fee (₹500 one-time registration plus ₹500 per paper for fresh candidates, plus tax) are separate. It also does not start your training: IRDAI's process has training begin after you clear the exam in your department.
