ExploreAbout this exam
IC-90 is a subject code in the numbering scheme used by the Insurance Institute of India (III), the body behind India's professional insurance examinations, its specialised diploma courses and its IRDAI-linked agent and broker examinations. Candidates normally encounter IC-90 as one paper inside a certificate, diploma or associateship pathway rather than as a free-standing qualification, so the practical question is which pathway lists it and whether it is currently open for registration or has been withdrawn. The source page for IC-90 returned HTTP 404 at retrieval on 2026-11-05, and the retrieved site navigation lists many other subjects (for example IC 01, IC 02, IC 14, IC 26, IC 36, IC 37, IC 39, IC 45, IC 46, IC 57, IC 58, IC 60, IC 66, IC 67 and IC 70) but contains no reference to IC-90. As a result, this page cannot state the syllabus, question count, duration, passing score, fee, retake rules or validity for IC-90, and nothing here should be read as an official statement from III. Preparation guidance is therefore generic: confirm the subject on the III syllabus and withdrawn-subjects pages, obtain the current study material and addenda, and work through past-paper patterns for the pathway you are enrolled in.
What you'll study
About III IC-90 preparation
Is IC-90 an active Insurance Institute of India subject?
The source does not confirm this. The IC-90 page returned HTTP 404 at retrieval on 2026-11-05, and the site navigation lists many other IC subjects without mentioning IC-90. Check the III syllabus and withdrawn-subjects pages directly before paying any fee or planning study around this code.
What is the exam format for IC-90?
Unknown from the source. Neither the number of questions, the marks per question, the duration, nor whether the paper is objective or descriptive is stated. Do not rely on figures quoted for other IC subjects, because III revises individual papers separately.
What is the passing score and are there negative marks?
The source states no passing score and no negative-marking rule for IC-90. III publishes regulations and an examination handbook on its site; those documents, not third-party summaries, are where a pass mark for a specific subject should be confirmed.
How much does IC-90 cost and how long is the result valid?
No fee and no validity period appear in the source. Fees differ across III's professional examinations, specialised diplomas and IRDAI-linked examinations, so a figure from one category cannot be transferred to IC-90. Confirm both on the current fee list and regulations.
Can I retake IC-90 if I fail?
The source gives no retake policy. III runs examinations in sessions through the year and publishes an online examination schedule and time table; those pages show when a subject is next offered and how re-registration works for the session you need.
How should I prepare if the syllabus is not published here?
Start from the official syllabus document for your pathway, then obtain the matching study material and check the addendum page for updates, since III issues subject-wise addenda that override printed text. Finish with the model question bank for your candidate category, if one is published.
What is the most common mistake candidates make with subject codes?
Assuming a code seen in an old prospectus, a coaching handout or a forum post is still current. III maintains a withdrawn-subjects list precisely because codes are retired and replaced. Verify the code against the live syllabus before buying material, and treat any page that 404s as a signal to check rather than to guess.
Where do I register and track my examination?
III separates candidate flows: professional examination candidates, surveyor candidates, and IRDAI-linked candidates such as agents, corporate agents, IMFs, web aggregators and brokers each have their own registration help manuals and login areas. Use the flow that matches your enrolment, and keep your profile and photograph current.
