Everything you need to know about AIQ Score™ assessments — pricing, exam format, proctoring, certificates, and verification.
AIQ Score™ is India's independent AI benchmarking and certification authority. It measures AI readiness, AI proficiency, and AI Quotient (AIQ) for individuals, institutions, enterprises, and governments using the AIQ8™ Competency Intelligence Engine, with role-specific assessments spanning school students through CXOs.
Your AIQ is a benchmarked score of your AI capability — covering AI literacy, practical tool proficiency, ethics and responsible use, and domain-specific application. Each assessment is domain-weighted for your role, so a banker, a lawyer, and a CXO are each measured against skills that matter for their work.
Pricing is per assessment level and currently ranges from ₹499 to ₹10,000: ₹499–₹799 for student and college tracks, ₹799–₹10,000 for professional tracks, ₹7,999 for leadership and governance tracks. There are no subscriptions or hidden fees.
Yes. The Free AIQ Snapshot at aiqscore.org/aiq-snapshot gives you a quick AI-readiness score at no cost. You can take up to 2 free Snapshots every 30 days; for a full certificate, take a paid role-specific assessment.
Each purchase includes 1 assessment attempt. You can start your assessment anytime after purchase. If you want to improve your score, you can purchase a fresh attempt.
Certificates are valid for 180 days from the date of your attempt, except the Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) and AI Engineer certificates, which are valid for 365 days. Time-bounded validity keeps the credential meaningful as AI capability evolves quickly.
Every certificate carries a unique verification code. Anyone can verify a certificate instantly and for free at aiqscore.org/verify by entering the code — no account required.
The Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) and AI Engineer certification exams are camera-proctored by default, and proctored Snapshot options are available. For proctored exams, the certificate is issued after proctor review and approval.
Assessments are online, timed, multiple-choice exams tailored to your level. Most paid tracks are 90 questions with a 60-minute limit, completed in a single sitting; the Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) and AI Engineer certifications run 180 questions in 120 minutes.
Anyone who wants a credible, role-relevant benchmark of their AI capability: school students, college students, educators, working professionals (banking, legal, consulting, audit, IT, chartered accountancy, medical, BPO, government), engineers, senior leaders including CROs, CIOs, CISOs and CXOs.
Yes. Organisation-level AI benchmarking provides competency distribution, department comparisons, skill-gap analysis, and re-measurable baselines, aligned with ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF, and the EU AI Act. Enterprises benchmarking 50+ employees get custom pricing and a readiness dashboard.
The FDE certification is AIQ Score's most advanced credential for engineers who build and deploy GenAI systems. It is a camera-proctored, 180-question, 120-minute exam covering the GenAI stack, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), AI agents, and MCP, priced at ₹10,000 with a certificate valid 365 days.
