What is this IGBC_AP exam!!!!

IGBC-AP Exam conducted by Indian Green Building Council is an entry level exam that tests your knowledge on Green Building design strategies Codes and Standards.

Its really not the exam like JEE or GATE that you must worry. Exam can be cleared easily by studying the LEED NC and CS( We will post questions here) book alone with some common sense.

I see many students and even professional spend too much for training of examination. But study for guide books should be more than sufficient. 

The 'Indian Green Building Council  Accredited Professional Examination' is being offered through MeritTrac Services Private Limited.

Candidates need to register with the Indian Green Building Council through the IGBC website www.igbc.in. 

On receipt of the examination fee, the examination date and venue will be intimated via email. 

Results will be reported to the candidate immediately on completion of the exam.

Successful candidates will be awarded the 'IGBC Accredited Professional' certificate and will be listed on the IGBC web site. 

Unsuccessful candidates can schedule to retake the exam by repeating the registration process. But Need not to worry there won't be any if preparations are good.
