NISM passing criteria define the marks and conditions for clearing the National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM) Series V examinations administered for mutual fund distribution and advisory certification. The criteria are uniform across NISM’s examination network and form the gatekeeping standard for credentialling.

For aspiring mutual fund distributors, understanding the passing framework is essential before sitting the examination. The pass marks differ across V-A, V-B, V-C, and negative marking adds a layer of strategy to answering.
