Can I defer my online examination?

Modified on Thu, 14 Aug, 2025 at 3:33 PM

Candidates may apply for deferment if they were unable to reschedule the examination booked at a test centre or take the examination due to extenuating circumstances. The application for deferment must be done at least 48 hours prior to the original examination session. The deferment is only applicable on the following grounds:

  • Illness / injury / hospitalisation
  • Illness of an immediate family member
  • Bereavement of an immediate family member
  • Personal / emotional circumstances
  • Involvement in an accident
  • Victim of crime
  • Victim of natural disasters
  • Any other extenuating circumstances.

Candidates who wish to apply for deferment under extenuating circumstances may do so with supporting documents via the AICB Member Portal.
