As of April 4, 2023, an exam badge is awarded to individuals who complete any proctored exam that counts towards the NSE certifications. As of October 1, 2023, exam badges are also awarded for completing NSE 1, NSE 2, and NSE 3 courses. Exam badges have the following considerations:

- Are awarded every time individuals complete a new version of an exam (NSE 4 to 8) or a course (NSE 1 to 3).
- The version of the exam (NSE 4 to 8) or course (NSE 1 to 3) that you completed is included on the badge.
