What’s new at Nutanix University? New Beta certification: NCM-MCI 7.5

Leave a reply

Nutanix announced that the Nutanix Certified Master – Multicloud Infrastructure (NCM-MCI) certification is updated to version 7.5, and the exam is now in the beta phase.

For those who don’t know, this is a hands-on exam in a real-lab environment and not a test.

You can find the blueprint guide here.

As usual, a beta exam is free to the first 250 candidates, with testing appointments offered from now through August 30, 2026. But! This time you must hold an active NCP or NCM certification.

Schedule your exam now and use the promo code NCMMCI75BETAFREE during checkout.

To prepare, you can check out my article based on version 6.10, because in most parts the exam should be the similar. However, the general advice remains: check the blueprint and practice things you don’t know in a lab.

Notice: After taking a beta exam, you won’t receive your results immediately. Results typically appear 1.5 or 2 months after the beta exam period concludes.

In this article, we will look at the main topics from the Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Infrastructure (NCP-MCI) exam version 7.5, and I will also share materials that you can use to prepare yourself.
