DP-900: Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals

The DP-900 exam voucher costs Rs 13,000/= at induwara.lk, payable in Sri Lankan rupees by card or bank transfer. It is an official single-use voucher for the Microsoft exam, not a practice test or a training course. The voucher is valid for 12 months from purchase. After payment our team confirms your order and sends the voucher code by email.

What this voucher is

DP-900: Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals is the official Microsoft exam voucher, sold in Sri Lankan rupees. It is the exam fee itself — a single-use code you redeem when you book your exam with the vendor's testing provider. It is not a training course, a practice test bundle or a study guide.

Each voucher is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase, so you can book the exam when you are ready rather than the day you buy.

Who sits this exam

DP-900: Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals is aimed at analysts, data engineers and developers building on data platforms. It is an entry-level exam, so there is no formal prerequisite — it is a reasonable first certification. Data and AI roles are the fastest-growing technical postings in Colombo, and most of them name a platform credential.

Why buy it here

Vendor exam fees are quoted in US dollars, which means the rupee price you actually pay depends on your card's rate on the day and whatever your bank adds on top. Here the price is fixed in rupees — Rs 13,000/= — so what you see is what leaves your account.

You can pay by card through PayHere, or by direct bank transfer if you would rather not put an exam fee on a card. Both are confirmed by us before anything is sent.

How delivery works

Delivery is handled by a person, not a script. Once your payment is confirmed, our team contacts you and sends the voucher code to the email address on your order. That usually happens the same day, and you will hear from us either way — if there is any delay sourcing a particular voucher, we tell you rather than leaving the order sitting.

If you need an invoice for an employer or a training budget, say so when you order and we will issue one against the order number.

What you get, and what happens next

What you get
One official single-use exam voucher for DP-900, DP-900: Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals, covering the exam fee in full. It is a code, not a study course and not a practice test. There is nothing physical to ship and no delivery charge.
When it arrives
Emailed to the address on your order once we have confirmed the payment, by a person rather than automatically. In practice that is usually the same day and almost always within one working day. If sourcing a particular voucher is going to take longer, we tell you rather than leaving the order sitting.
How long it stays valid
12 months from purchase. Book and sit the exam before it expires, a code that has simply run out of time cannot be replaced, so do not buy months ahead of when you plan to use it.
How you redeem it
Book the exam with Pearson VUE as normal, then enter this code at the payment step instead of paying the fee. You choose the date, and whether you sit it at a test centre or from home with OnVUE proctoring.
If the code does not work
If the vendor rejects it when you try to redeem it, tell us straight away and we replace it or refund you in full. Contact us before the voucher’s own expiry date.
If you do not pass
A voucher covers one attempt. A retake needs a new voucher, and the vendor, not us, sets how long you must wait before sitting the exam again. Check the vendor’s retake policy before you book.
Changing your mind
Full refund for any reason as long as we have not yet sent the code, including if you realise you have ordered the wrong exam, which is easy to do when codes look alike. Once the code has been sent it cannot be refunded, because the code is the product and it is single-use. Refunds & delivery in full.

  • Batch versus streaming data, Azure Databricks, Microsoft Fabric and data visualization in Power BI

Where it leads

DP-900 is an entry credential rather than a hiring qualification on its own. Its practical value is that it never expires, it sits in the cheapest Microsoft price band, and it is a low-risk way to prove you can pass a proctored Microsoft exam before committing to DP-300, DP-600 or DP-700. Microsoft is explicit that it is not a prerequisite for any of them.

Sitting this exam in Sri Lanka

DP-900 is the most accessible Microsoft data exam to buy: 45 minutes rather than 100, and in the fundamentals price band. Pearson VUE's published Microsoft price list puts Sri Lanka at 44 USD for a fundamentals exam commercially and 31 USD academically, against 99 USD and 69 USD for the same exam proctored in the United States. This voucher is {{PRICE}}. Students and educators have an extra route — Microsoft's exam page offers scheduling through Certiport alongside Pearson VUE for this exam. Microsoft delivers exams at a test centre or online to your home or office under OnVUE proctoring, and notes online exams are available in most but not all countries and regions, so confirm availability with Pearson VUE when you book. One thing to plan for: Microsoft Learn is not available during fundamentals exams, unlike associate and expert ones.

Every fact on this page was read off the vendor’s own documentation. Vendors change exam content, pricing and retirement dates without notice, so check these before you book.

DP-900 exam fee and questions people ask

How long is DP-900 and how many questions will I get?
45 minutes of exam time, and Microsoft's duration table lists 65 minutes of seat time for a fundamentals exam, which allows for instructions and the candidate agreement. Microsoft does not publish a fixed question count for DP-900 and states only that most of its exams typically contain 40 to 60 questions.
What score do I need to pass?
700 out of 1,000 on Microsoft's scaled score. Microsoft notes this may not equal 70% of the points, because the requirement adjusts to the difficulty of the question set you are given.
Does the Azure Data Fundamentals certification expire?
No. Microsoft's renewal page states directly that fundamentals certifications do not expire. The annual renewal requirement applies to associate, expert and specialty certifications, and the DP-900 page has no renewal section at all.
Is DP-900 required before DP-300, DP-600 or DP-700?
No. Microsoft states that Azure Data Fundamentals can be used to prepare for other Azure role-based certifications like Azure Database Administrator Associate or Azure Data Engineer Associate, 'but it is not a prerequisite for any of them.'
Can I look things up on Microsoft Learn during the exam?
No. Microsoft allows access to Microsoft Learn during associate and expert role-based exams only, and states that access is not available on fundamentals exams. DP-900 is closed book.
Can students book this differently?
Yes. Microsoft's DP-900 page offers 'Schedule through Certiport if you are a student or an educator' in addition to Pearson VUE, and Pearson VUE's Microsoft price list publishes a lower academic band for Sri Lanka — 31 USD versus 44 USD commercial.
If I fail, when can I retake it?
The same rules as role-based exams: 24 hours before your second attempt, a 14-day waiting period between each attempt after that, and no more than five attempts within 12 months of your first sitting.
How is DP-900 weighted?
Describing core data concepts and describing an analytics workload are 25-30% each, relational data on Azure is 20-25%, and non-relational data on Azure is 15-20%.
