| Q1. |
I have read somewhere that foreigners cannot take Microsoft exams in India? Please clarify how your boot camps are run. |
| |
|
| A. |
Foreigners can take exams in India.
Here is the clarification :
1. Bonafide foreign students can continue to take Microsoft exams in India.
2. Before a foreign candidate takes the first exam the testing center has to take approval by sending an email to mlsecure@microsoft.com alongwith a copy of the passport.
Our Testing Center Administrators at all locations are following this process for our foreign students and they continue to take exams without any problem.
In effect, foreign nationals can continue to take exams in India. The only change is that they have to send certain details to Microsoft. |
