I believe the IGBC AP is similar to LEED GA, but has some specific differences for India, just like LEED Canada NC has. Apart from the IGBC site, which is still developing, the only site to offer LEED India IGBC practice exams is GreenExcel - www.greenexcelinc.com that I could find. They are more focused on international LEED tests. Let us know of any information you can find, as I have a bunch of Indian colleagues interested as well.

Hi,
I am interested in taking the USGBC LEED Green Associate exam. I have recently completed a postgraduate course in Sustainable Architecture and read on the USGBC website that this could qualify me to take the LEED Green Associate exam without the need for taking a preparation course. I am based in UK at the moment and also went through the UKGBC website. However, there seems to be no exam procedures for the UKGBC and all I could find was paying exhorbitant money and getting a membership and paying more money every year to renew membership. Can I take the USGBC Green Associate exam in the UK? Do they have test locations in the UK or is there any way I can take that exam from outside the USA?
Since, in the future I plan to practice as an architect in India, I was going through the IGBC website and procedures for taking the LEED AP exam. In India, it seems like as of now there is just one single LEED AP exam as opposed to 2 exams in the USA (Green Associate and then any one of the five AP specialisations). Is there an option of taking the USGBC LEED exams from India or is it like if I am taking an exam in India, it has to be the IGBC LEED AP exam? Is the ISGBC LEED AP accreditation an equivalent for USGBC LEED AP, I mean in terms of professional accreditation/qualification?
Basically, I am stuck between the two countries and am presently at a place where I cannot decide which one to go for and do I have to be in that specific country to give the exam?
Your suggestion in this regard will be very helpful. Look forward to hear from you soon.
