IBT, CBT or PBT Testing Mode? Which is better option…

In the current situation, IBT from their home is the best option after complying with the AIMA norms. The difficulty level in IBT exam is similar to PBT and CBT mode of exam.

Payment confirms candidature acceptance, with no provision for fee refunds or form corrections. Mistakes require re-registration and fee repayment.
