Exam AI-103: Developing AI Apps and Agents on Azure is Microsoft's current associate-level exam for Azure AI development. It leads to the Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Apps and Agents Developer Associate certification, which replaces the Azure AI Engineer Associate certification earned through AI-102. AI-102 retires on June 30, 2026, making AI-103 the exam candidates need going forward.
TroyTec offers AI-103 exam preparation material in PDF format and an Online Test Engine, built from questions mapped to the official AI-103 skills outline, with AI-powered tracking that identifies weak areas and adjusts your study focus.
AI-103 is the direct successor to AI-102 and leads to a renamed certification. The old credential, Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Engineer Associate, is being replaced by Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Apps and Agents Developer Associate. Anyone who already holds the Azure AI Engineer Associate certification through AI-102 keeps that credential, but new candidates after June 30, 2026 must pass AI-103 to earn the current version of this role-based certification.
The content shift is significant. AI-102 tested individual Azure AI services in relative isolation. AI-103 is built around Microsoft Foundry as the unified development platform and adds a dedicated focus on building, testing, and orchestrating AI agents using the Azure AI Agent Service. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), grounding models with Azure AI Search, and evaluating responses for groundedness now run throughout the generative AI portion of the exam. Azure Content Understanding also expands information extraction to cover documents, images, audio, and video.
The AI-103 skills outline covers five domains: planning and managing Azure AI solutions, implementing generative AI and agentic solutions, implementing computer vision solutions, implementing text analysis solutions, and implementing information extraction solutions. Candidates are expected to choose appropriate models — including large language models, small language models, and multimodal models — configure security and responsible AI safeguards, and build agent-driven workflows using Microsoft Foundry and the Microsoft Agent Framework.
AI-103 is intended for software developers and Azure AI engineers who build, manage, and deploy AI-infused applications and agents. Microsoft recommends candidates have experience developing apps in Python and familiarity with general AI, generative AI, and core Azure services. This is a developer-focused, hands-on exam rather than a conceptual one — candidates typically come in with AI-900 or Azure AI Fundamentals knowledge already in place, or equivalent practical experience.
Exam code: AI-103 (Developing AI Apps and Agents on Azure).
Certification earned: Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Apps and Agents Developer Associate (currently in beta).
Passing score: 700 out of 1000 points, as confirmed on Microsoft's official AI-103 exam page.
Exam duration: 100 minutes, as stated on Microsoft's official certification page.
Exam status: The exam is currently in beta. Beta scores are released after Microsoft finishes reviewing exam data, and a beta pass counts toward the certification the same as a general-availability pass.
Practice Assessment: Microsoft's official Practice Assessment for AI-103 is not yet available and typically launches within roughly eight weeks of general availability.
Prerequisites: No formal prerequisites, though hands-on experience with Python, Azure services, and general AI/generative AI concepts is strongly recommended given the exam's implementation focus.
Predecessor exam: AI-102 (Designing and Implementing a Microsoft Azure AI Solution), which retires June 30, 2026.
TroyTec's AI-103 prep bundle includes two formats:
PDF format: Downloadable, printable AI-103 exam questions with verified answers, for offline study on any device.
Online Test Engine: A browser-based practice test that simulates real exam timing and question delivery, with instant scoring and answer explanations.
Both formats are paired with an AI-powered performance tracker that flags weaker domains — for example, agent orchestration versus computer vision — and prioritizes those questions in later practice sessions. Material is reviewed on an ongoing basis against Microsoft Learn's official AI-103 study guide as the exam moves from beta to general availability.
Not exactly. AI-103 leads to a renamed certification, Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Apps and Agents Developer Associate, which replaces Azure AI Engineer Associate as that credential's exam (AI-102) retires on June 30, 2026.
No formal prerequisites are required. However, Microsoft's candidate profile assumes practical experience with Python, Azure services, and AI/generative AI concepts, so many candidates complete Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-900/AI-901) first.
AI-103 is in beta. Availability and scheduling should be confirmed on Microsoft's official certification page, since beta exam windows are time-limited and scores are released after the review period closes.
AI-103 centers on Microsoft Foundry as a unified platform, adds a dedicated AI agents and orchestration domain, expands retrieval-augmented generation and groundedness evaluation, and broadens information extraction through Azure Content Understanding.
TroyTec offers AI-103 practice questions in PDF format and through an Online Test Engine, both built from the current exam skills outline.
