Dharmraj Thakur · Answer

Hellow Aradhana Nontechnicals can also get MVP... MVP award is not only for coders or developers. Microsoft giving MVP award on each Microsft product like Excel Access Sharepoint etc.  Microsoft MVP are people who are eager to share their Microsoft product knowledge with others. They make so much contributions to the community that Microsoft wants to recognize their efforts in the past 12 months with an award called “Microsoft MVP award”. It is important to note that Microsoft MVP do not know everything some people who don’t know Excel VBA can be Excel MVP. Each Microsoft product has its own MVP. For example each year about 130 people are awarded MVP for their contribution to Excel Microsoft Access has about 70 MVP Visual C++ has about 100 MVP. Usually people don’t call them Microsoft MVP as it is too long and non product specific instead they say Excel MVP ASP MVP Sharepoint MVP etc. Microsoft MVP status has an expiry date it only lasts for 1 year. At the 9th month you need to reapply for Microsoft MVP to renew status. Reference: http://access-excel.tips/how-to-become-microsoft-mvp-excel/
