When to book
Because you choose the date, book once you know how long you need, not before. A fixed date helps many people study, so a sensible approach is to estimate your preparation time, add a week, and book that slot. If you are already scoring comfortably above 60 on full timed practice papers, there is little reason to wait longer.
Free account, this exam preselected.
If you do not pass
A failed attempt is not the end. You book a new sitting through the same portal. NISM's portal shows the current rules and fee for re-booking, so check there before choosing a new date.
Use the gap. The Series VI paper has a published weightage per chapter, so look at which chapters cost you marks and spend most of the extra time there.
After you pass
The certificate is valid for 3 years. To stay certified after that, you either re-take the exam or complete NISM's Continuing Professional Education (CPE) programme before the certificate expires. CPE options and their terms are set by NISM, so check NISM's CPE options well before your expiry date.
Verify on NISM's site
Fees, booking rules and re-attempt conditions are set by NISM and can change. Treat this page as orientation and confirm the details on NISM's Series VI page when you book.
