Cisco Certified DevNet Professional (DEVCOR) Exam Format

350-901

Everything the official exam blueprint specifies: question count, time limit, scoring and the weight each domain carries. The 350-901 DEVCOR exam validates advanced software development, API consumption, Cisco platform integration, application deployment, and infrastructure automation skills. It is the core exam for the Cisco Certified DevNet Professional certification. The exam uses a scenario-driven approach and gives equal weight to five domains. Candidates must demonstrate practical Python and API skills, know how to connect to Cisco Meraki, Webex, DNA Center, and other platforms, and understand DevOps practices from source control through CI/CD and production deployment. Passing the exam proves the ability to build secure, scalable applications that automate and integrate with modern network environments.
