Taking the CCNA exam in Bengaluru
The Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) is the same exam wherever you sit it. Cisco publishes one blueprint, one time limit and one scoring model, so there is no Bengaluru-specific version to prepare for. What changes from city to city is only how you book and where you sit.
Test centre or online from Bengaluru?
- Test centre: Cisco delivers this exam through Pearson VUE. Search Pearson VUE's test-centre finder for Bengaluru when you book; centre availability changes, so we do not list addresses here.

Booking from Bengaluru: time zone and currency
Bengaluru is in India and runs on India Standard Time (UTC+5:30). Exam slots on the booking page are shown in your local time, so pick a start time when you are normally alert. Cisco lists the exam at US$300. Depending on your country, checkout may show the price in Indian rupee (INR) or another currency, and local taxes can apply; the booking page shows the final amount before you pay. The cost and booking page covers retakes.
What the CCNA exam covers

| Network Fundamentals | 20% |
| Network Access | 20% |
| Security Fundamentals | 15% |
| IP Services | 10% |
| Automation and Programmability | 10% |
The exam objectives page lists every objective under each domain.
Before you book from Bengaluru
- Make sure the name on your Cisco account matches your government ID exactly; a mismatch can stop you being admitted on the day.
- Decide between a test centre and online delivery before you pick a date, because the booking flow and the rules on the day differ.
- If you sit online, run the system check on the computer and network you will actually use, well before exam day.
- Book a slot in India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) that suits you, and leave time for check-in before the start.
Preparing for the CCNA in Bengaluru
Courses and classroom training in Bengaluru are one route; self-study works just as well if you follow the published objectives. Most candidates combine three things:
- The official objectives, domain by domain (exam objectives).
- A plan that gives the heaviest domains the most time (study plan).
- Timed mocks under real conditions (practice test), then targeted revision.
The exam-day guide covers ID checks and the rules for sitting online.
