WHAT IS AMIE ???

    AMIE (The Associate Member of the Institution of Engineers)


The Associate Member of the Institution of Engineers (AMIE) is a professional certification given by Institution of Engineers (India). The qualification can be earned by passing Section A, Section B +Project work+ 10 lab .

If an applicant passes both sections of the examination, he or she becomes an Associate members of the Institution of Engineers (AMIE) ( AS PER NEW BY -LAWS GIVEN BY IEI).The Indian Ministry of Human Resource Development considers this qualification is equivalent to a degree in engineering. 

Government of India in continuation to its earlier recognition, has recognised passing of sections A and B examinations as revised, conducted by The Institution of Engineers (India), as equivalent to bachelor's Degree in the appropriate branch of Engineering of the recognised universities in India and has notified in the gazette of India, Part I, Section I, dated February 11, 2006.check here @ http://www.ieindia.org/RECOGNITION.aspx

AMIE is also recognised by UK-NARIC as British Bachelor's Honours degree. AMIE is also recognised by FCSA Foreign credential service of America as equivalent to Bachelor's degree in engineering. The Institution of Engineers (India) was established in 1920 inKolkata, West Bengal and is acclaimed to have pioneered non-formal education in Engineering. IEI (I) conducts an examination for its Associate Membership. This examination is considered to be on par with B.E./ B.Tech. when contemplated as an eligibility qualification to writecompetitive examinations like theIndian Civil Service, Indian Engineering Services, GATE, etc., and for employment in Government, public and private sectors in India. This qualification is recognised by Ministry of HRD, Government of India as equivalent to B.E./ B.Tech.
There are 2 sections, namely Section A and Section B, in this examination. Section A is commonfor all candidates. Under Section B, a particular discipline of engineering has to be chosen from among the streams offered.
