NISM books & study material — common questions
Is the NISM study material really free?
Yes. We provide condensed study notes and exam guides free of charge. The official NISM workbooks are available for purchase on the NISM website; our material is a supplementary preparation resource.
How is this different from the official NISM workbook?
Official NISM workbooks (sold by NISM) are the primary source. Our study guides are condensed reference notes covering the same syllabus — faster to read, with practice questions and exam tips added.
Which NISM series study material is most in demand?
Series V-A (Mutual Fund Distributors), Series VIII (Equity Derivatives), and Series XV (Research Analyst) are the most downloaded. All 26 series are available.
Where can I buy the official NISM workbook?
Official NISM workbooks can be purchased on the NISM e-services portal at nism.ac.in. Prices vary by series (₹200–₹500). Our free study notes complement — not replace — the official material.
