Why practise here

Built to feel like the exam hall, not a quiz app

The NISM V-A paper is 100 questions in 120 minutes with a 50% pass mark. The way you lose it is pacing, not knowledge — so the practice is paced the same way.

  • Real exam timing

    Every paper runs on the server's clock, not your device's — closing the tab does not buy you time.

  • One question at a time

    Answer, flag, move on. The palette shows what is answered, what is flagged and what is still blank.

  • Nothing gets lost

    Every answer is saved within seconds. Lost connection, dead battery — pick up where you stopped.

  • Answers with explanations

    After you submit, review every question with the correct option and why it is correct — not just a score.

  • English and हिन्दी

    NISM V-A papers in English and Hindi, NISM V-D in English. Sit the paper in the language you will sit the real one in.

  • Short or full length

    Twenty minutes over chai, or the full 100-question, 120-minute paper when you are ready for the real thing.

FAQ

Questions people ask first

Is this really free?

Yes. Every mock paper is free to sit, as many times as the paper allows. Dhan Saarthi earns from its distribution platform, not from candidates practising for an exam.

Which NISM exams can I practise here?

Two. NISM Series V-A (Mutual Fund Distributors), with papers in English and Hindi, and NISM Series V-D (Mutual Fund – Specialized Investment Fund distributors), in English. Each exam has its own list of mock papers, from short sets to full-length tests.

Is Dhan Saarthi affiliated with NISM?

No. These are practice papers written to match the NISM Series V-A and V-D syllabus and format. They are not NISM material, and we are neither affiliated with nor endorsed by NISM. Book and sit the real exam through NISM's own site.

What is the pass mark on the real NISM V-A exam?

NISM Series V-A is 100 questions in 120 minutes, with a 50% pass mark and no negative marking. Our full-length papers mirror that exactly; the shorter sets are scaled versions of it.

Do I need an account?

You can browse the papers without one. Starting a test opens DhanSaarthi Certification, where you sign in with your mobile number and a one-time code, so your answers, timer and attempt history stay tied to you.

What happens if my internet drops mid-test?

Your answers are saved on the server within seconds of each one. Sign back in and the attempt resumes on the same question, with the clock where the server says it should be.

I cleared NISM V-A. How do I start distributing?

You register with AMFI for an ARN, then empanel with the AMCs whose schemes you want to sell. Dhan Saarthi handles the platform side of that — book a consultation and we will walk you through it.
