NISM Series VII Registration & Exam Dates
There is no annual Series VII exam date. Registration is continuous and you pick your own slot. Here is how it works.
There is no fixed exam date for NISM Series VII. NISM runs it on demand: you register on NISM's certification portal, pay the fee and book a slot that suits you. The exam is computer-based, and your result appears when you submit.
So the real question is not when the exam is, but when you will be ready. Pick a date after you have covered the workbook and practised under time, then book.

How registration works

Create an account on NISM's certification portal
Add your PAN to your registration details. NISM needs PAN to issue the certificate, so add it at the start rather than after you pass.

Check the name carefully. Series VI (Depository Operations) is a different exam with a different syllabus.
- 3
Pay the fee
₹1,500 plus payment gateway charges.

Choose a date and time from what the portal offers. There is no annual exam window to wait for.

100 questions in 120 minutes, with 0.25 deducted for each wrong answer. The result is shown on submission.

Free account, this exam preselected.
If you do not pass
You can register for another attempt. Check the portal for any waiting period before you can rebook and for the fee that applies at the time. Before booking again, look at where your marks went: with 0.25 deducted per wrong answer, a few confident errors on settlement timings or margin rules can cost more than the questions you left blank.
Validity and renewal
The certificate is valid for 3 years. Before it expires you can either take the exam again or complete NISM's Continuing Professional Education programme for this certification. Check NISM's CPE options for Series VII a few months before your expiry date so you have time to finish one.
