About $150 per exam. So that would be $300 to become a certified DBA. The exams are administered by 3rd party companies that specialize in that sort of thing. At many IBM conferences dealing with DB2, they offer the exams for free if you a paid attendee.      |

However if I take the same exam in India it would cost me just Rs 1500 ( ~= $ 38 ). So I prefer to take this exam when I go to India on vacation because of less $$. Any reason for this cheap cost in India ? Thanks, Sam. |

The 3rd party administrator charges for it. Obviously, their expenses are lower in India, as is the amount that people in India are willing to pay. |
