fiber_manual_record  How do I register for the online exam?

For candidates enrolled in a course, a link will be published for exam registration. Kindly follow the guidelines posted there.

fiber_manual_record  Since it is an online exam, can I take the exam from home on any day/date?

No. Certification exams will be conducted on two consecutive Sundays from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. You will have to appear at the allotted exam centre and produce your Admit Card and Identification Card for verification and take the exam in person.

fiber_manual_record  Due to other commitments, I cannot appear for the exam on the date you had prescribed. Can I take the same exam on another date?

At the time of exam registration, you will be choosing exam date and centre. Once this data is submitted, you will not be able to go back and change this input. So if you miss the exam, you cannot take it on another date.

fiber_manual_record  I registered for one online certification exam, but I’ve changed my mind. Now I want to register for another exam on the same day. Can I change it?

Once you have registered for a particular exam, it is final as the form will become uneditable. So please think and choose the subject carefully while you register for the exam. It cannot be changed once registered

fiber_manual_record  Can I register for more than one online exam?

Yes. You may participate in 2 online certification exams. The exams are conducted on 2 consecutive Sundays. So, you can take one exam per Sunday.

fiber_manual_record  If I request for any specific city as exam centre that is not already in your list, will you agree to that?

Currently, only the centres in the form can be chosen by individuals. If you belong to a college and more than 50 students are appearing for exams on the same date, the college Principal can write to us requesting for a centre in your city and we can try to arrange the same.

fiber_manual_record  I made on-line payment for the exam. How do I know for sure that the processing was successful and I'll get an Admit Card for the exam?

If the payment is successful, you will get an email saying so. Also, the registration form should become non-editable after that. You can go to http://nptel.ac.in/noc and check your status in the tab "Payment tracking". If your name is in the success list, it means your payment is confirmed.
