ExploreAbout this exam
IC-88 is a subject code in the examination system of the Insurance Institute of India (III), an Indian professional body whose site lists certificate, diploma and specialised diploma examinations alongside IRDAI-related agent and broker examinations. Candidates searching for IC-88 usually encounter it as one paper in a numbered series (IC-01, IC-14, IC-38, IC-45 and others appear in the Institute's own navigation), each with its own study material, addenda and examination scheduling. However, the Institute's dedicated IC-88 page returned a 404 error when checked on 5 November 2026, and no syllabus, domain weighting, question count, duration, passing mark, fee or retake rule could be confirmed from an official source. This page therefore does not state exam specifics. What can be relied on is the Institute's general machinery: online examination registration through the Examinations section, published time tables, an examination handbook, regulations, help manuals for new and already-registered candidates, and study material sold as hard copy, e-book or audio book. A sensible preparation path is to confirm the current IC-88 syllabus and addendum from the Institute's syllabus pages, obtain the matching study material, work through the professional examination contents document, and check the online examination schedule before booking. Treat any third-party claim about IC-88's pattern or pass mark as unverified until the Institute publishes it.
What you'll study
About III IC-88 preparation
Is IC-88 confirmed as a current Insurance Institute of India subject?
Not confirmed. The Institute's IC-88 page returned a 404 error when retrieved on 5 November 2026, so this site cannot verify that the subject is currently offered, withdrawn or renamed. Check the Institute's syllabus and withdrawn subjects pages before buying material or paying any fee.
What is the exam format, duration and number of questions?
Unknown from official sources. The Institute's site provides an examination handbook, regulations and an online examination schedule, but none of the retrieved content states IC-88's question count, duration or format. Do not rely on coaching-site figures; confirm from the handbook or the Examinations section.
What is the passing score for IC-88?
Not published in the material available here. The Institute's site references a grace passing marks circular only for the IC-38 agent examination, which does not establish the rule for IC-88. Confirm the pass mark from the current examination handbook or regulations before you sit the paper.
How much does the exam cost and can I retake it?
Neither the fee nor the retake policy for IC-88 appears in the retrieved source. The Institute publishes fee structures for agent, corporate agent, IMF, web aggregator and broker examinations, and separate price lists for study material, but not for this subject. Verify both with the Institute directly.
How do I register for an Insurance Institute of India examination?
The Institute's Examinations section links help manuals for new candidates and already-registered candidates, plus guidance on photo and signature upload, exemptions, and applying for examination. Registration is online through the Institute's portal. Follow the manual matching your status and check the online examination schedule for dates.
Where do I get study material and syllabus updates?
The Institute sells study material as hard copy, e-book and audio book, with published price lists, and maintains an addendum page carrying subject-wise updates to printed material. Start from the syllabus page for professional examinations and specialised diplomas, then check the addendum list for your subject before studying.
How should I sequence my preparation if the syllabus is unclear?
First confirm the subject exists and obtain its official syllabus; without that, any study plan is guesswork. Then buy the matching Institute study material, read the addendum for that subject, and only afterwards begin practice questions. Studying from unverified third-party notes risks covering withdrawn or revised content.
What are the common mistakes candidates make with subjects like this?
Trusting outdated syllabus copies, ignoring addenda that revise printed material, and assuming pass marks or patterns carry over from other IC subjects. Because Institute subjects are revised periodically and some are withdrawn, always re-check the official pages close to your examination session rather than relying on material from an earlier year.
