We estimate the two-point angular correlation function (CF) of quasars from SDSS DR3 using a special method of comparison random catalog generation. The best-fit value for the CF power-law index is found to be $\alpha=0.78\pm0.18$ on the $2<\theta<250$ $arcmin$ interval. This is lower (though in marginal agreement) than earlier result of \markcite{{\it Myers et al.} (2005)} based on SDSS DR1 catalogue of photometrically-classified quasars.
