USDSI® trails strict policies that help preserve the sacredness and reliability of its internationally well-known examinations and guarantee that a positive, healthy, objective and vicarious method is followed for assessing an applicant's suitability for the award of its respected identifications. The following information contains vital policy areas about which examinees should note.
Once the examinee successfully registers for the certification, they should log in to your myControlPanel and click the Schedule tab. You can choose the available date and time slot for the assessment. You can schedule your exam after 25 days from the day of payment. USDSI® gives a 25-day immersion period for registrants mandatorily to help them orient entirely and build their conceptual foundations in Data Science. You can schedule the USDSI® certification exam of your choice any time after the 25-days immersion period is over. You will also get an additional 175-days to plan for and take your USDSI® certification exam. You can change your exam appointments for three or more business days before your scheduled exam date. To change the exam appointment, please log in to myControlPanel and click the Reschedule tab. If you are less than three business days before your scheduled exam date, you may not reschedule your exam, and if you miss your exam, then you will forfeit your fees.
If the examinee is unsuccessful/ cancels or becomes a no-show in their exam, a nominal exam fee of USD 149 will be charged to reappear for their Examination. The 'Reappear' button will automatically be enabled in the myControlPanel dashboard after the result is published. Once the exam fee is paid, examinees will be awarded with extra 50 days for scheduling their exam.
Please note that this is not a one-time fee, and examinees will need to pay each time to reappear for the same exam.
