The NCS-Core exam, officially titled Nutanix Certified Services Core Infrastructure Professional, is the Nutanix exam you pass to earn the NCS Professional certification, a credential at the Professional level. Passing it confirms the skills defined in the official exam outline, and it is associated with related credentials such as Nutanix Certified Services - Core.

The NCS-Core exam includes 75 questions and gives you 120 minutes to finish them. That is a tight pace per question, so get used to reading each stem once, flagging anything uncertain, and moving on rather than getting stuck. Running timed practice tests in the ITCertMagic desktop or online test engine is the most reliable way to build that rhythm before exam day.

The passing score for the NCS-Core exam is 3000 (scaled score from 1000-6000), and the official registration fee is $199 USD. Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying $199 USD again in full to retake it, so book your slot only when your scores on ITCertMagic practice tests sit consistently above the passing line.
