The quick answers.
Is FundsSchool really free?
Yes. Every chapter, quick check, practice test, practice mock and the Final exam are free, on the web and in the app. There are no ads and no paid tier.
Which NISM exams does it cover?
NISM Series V-A (Mutual Fund Distributors), V-D (SIF and Mutual Fund Distributors), XIII (Common Derivatives) and XXI-A (PMS Distributors). There is also an investor track on mutual funds, SIPs, goals and tax.
Are these the real NISM exam questions?
No. Every question is original practice material written by FundsSchool to the official syllabus and exam pattern. NISM does not publish its exam questions, and nobody should claim to have them.
Do I get a NISM certificate from FundsSchool?
No. You book and take the exam with NISM, which issues the certificate. FundsSchool gives a preparation certificate that shows you finished our programme; it is not NISM certification.
Do I need KYC or a bank account to sign up?
No. The app only needs your name, email and a password. There is nothing to invest and no KYC.
Is my progress on the website saved?
Your XP, streak, badges and chapters read on this website are stored only in this browser. They do not sync to the app yet; account sync is planned for a later update.
