The Council of The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia has an agreement with the Engineering Council UK to use The Engineering Council (formerly the Council of Engineering Institutions) Examinations for assessment of candidates for admission to Graduate membership of The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia. This Graduate Examinations is organized by The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia and sponsored by the Board of Engineers, Malaysia.
The IEM/BEM Graduate Examinations is conducted solely to comply with the requirements for Graduate membership of The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia and hence to registration as Graduate Engineers with the Board of Engineers, Malaysia.
The objective of the Examinations is to provide an opportunity for two categories of Young Malaysians to achieve professional status through local professional examinations.
In the first category, are Malaysians who had obtained engineering qualifications from countries such as India, Indonesia, Taiwan etc whose qualifications are not in the list of recognized qualifications of IEM or BEM. During the period around 1976, there were over 1,000 persons who were registered with the BEM as bona fide engineers. These Examinations would provide an opportunity for them to upgrade themselves as engineers.
The second category, are Malaysian who have obtained diplomas/certificates from ITM, UTM, TAR and private technical institutes. By one reason or another, they missed out the opportunity to pursue their basic engineering degree qualifications from universities and the Examinations could provide an avenue for them to qualify as engineers.
Attention of Candidates is drawn particularly to the fact that although the present Part 2 – IEM/BEM Examinations is conducted using Engineering Council facilities, candidates cannot however claim any credit with the Engineering Council if they pass this IEM/BEM Graduate Examinations; that is to say, a pass of the Part 2 – IEM/BEM Graduate Examinations will not entitle candidates to claim for admission
to Graduate Membership of any of the Institutions of the Engineering Council.
All correspondence in connection with the above IEM/BEM Graduate Examinations should be addressed to:-
Hon. Secretary,
The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia,
P.O. Box 223, (Jalan Sultan)
46720 Petaling Jaya,
