EXAMINATION
The Assessment Examination is an integral part of the assessment of applicant for
certification as a Professional Engineer. The examination standard is above BE level
covering expected professional engineering experience. The examination would be held
online at the identified Centres of the IEI and other professional Institutions across the
country. They would be held in two Modules : Module 1 and Module 2. The Module 1 is
common to all, comprising of 40 questions of 1 mark each with a duration of 1.5 hours.
