“Assalam Alaikum:

I spoke to few Saudi Engineers (office colleagues) and according to them if you are just an "engineer" then u don't need this one...now , how to check what is my actual profession...

1/ login to Saudi engineering council membership (I am sure you guys have online user/pass.?)

http://eservices.saudieng.sa/en/Registration/Pages/Login.aspx

2/ Once login successfully, u will b able to see your picture and notification for the validity of your membership ... here it will give a link "...please click here to view your profile"...just click there. (Note: if new page is EMPTY then go back, select Arabic and then click again)

3/ Here in profession if you are just "Mohandas" or "Engineer" then you are JUST ENGINEER......This exam is for "Associate Engineer" or "Professional Engineer" and NOT for "Engineer".

This information needs to verify officially with SCE...better to send email, individually to exam@saudieng.sa or visit SCE office.

If anyone receive any official reply from SCE then please share.

jazakallah Khair,

Adnan”
