ExploreAbout this exam
The IBBI Land & Building examination is one of the valuation examinations published by the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) for registered valuers. The IBBI website lists a Valuation Examination section alongside the Limited Insolvency Examination, and a notice dated 20 May 2026 states that IBBI publishes the syllabus, format, frequency and other details of Valuation Examinations. Candidates should treat that notice and its linked syllabus document as the authoritative source for question count, duration, pass mark, fee and domain weightings; those details are not reproduced on the homepage and remain unverified here. The exam is intended for professionals seeking registration as valuers in the land and building asset class, and for practitioners who value real estate within insolvency and resolution processes. The published domain structure covers valuation concepts and principles, valuation methods and approaches, and applications, standards and reporting. Preparation should combine the official syllabus, the IBBI circulars on valuation standards and on conducting valuation under the Code, and practical work on land and building valuation problems. Because IBBI periodically revises syllabi and formats, always confirm the current notice before booking.
What you'll study
About IBBI Land & Building preparation
What exactly does the IBBI Land & Building exam test?
The published domain structure has three parts: valuation concepts and principles; valuation methods and approaches; and applications, standards and reporting. Expect questions on land and building valuation rather than general insolvency law. Read the syllabus notice on the IBBI site for the authoritative topic list.
How many questions are there and how long is the exam?
The source does not state the question count, duration or pass mark. The 20 May 2026 notice says IBBI publishes syllabus, format, frequency and other details of Valuation Examinations, so the linked document is where those numbers sit. Do not rely on second-hand figures.
Is the exam multiple choice, and can I retake it?
The homepage does not describe the paper's item format, and it does not state a retake policy. Both points should be checked in the official syllabus and examination notice before you plan a sitting. Treat any claim about negative marking or unlimited attempts as unverified until you see it there.
How difficult is it, and what trips candidates up?
The exam is professionally oriented, so the common failure modes are weak grasp of valuation approaches, poor recall of standards and reporting requirements, and unfamiliarity with IBBI circulars on valuation. Candidates who only memorise formulas without practising full valuation narratives tend to struggle.
What is the best study order?
Start with concepts and principles, since methods build on them. Then work through methods and approaches with numerical practice. Finish with applications, standards and reporting, including the IBBI circulars on valuation standards and on conducting valuation under the Code. Keep the current syllabus notice beside you throughout.
Which official documents should I read?
Begin with the Valuation Examination syllabus notice dated 20 May 2026 on ibbi.gov.in. Then read the circular on Valuation Standards and the circular on Guidelines for Conducting Valuation under the Code, both listed on the site. These are the primary sources for standards and reporting questions.
Does passing this exam make me a registered valuer?
No. The examination is one requirement in the registration framework for registered valuers, which also involves eligibility, an registered valuer organisation and other conditions. Check the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules and IBBI's registered valuer pages for the full process.
Where do I confirm fees, dates and results?
Only on ibbi.gov.in. The homepage lists the Valuation Examination under the Registered Valuer section, and notices are posted in the What's New feed. Fees, examination windows and results are announced there, so check the site directly rather than relying on coaching material or older guides.
