“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”

  1. Any recent developments in this case guys, anybody received any mail from SCE regarding this as I have but it is general information regarding NCEES test. It does not say I have to take it but general circular type
    I have already been awarded Professional Degree Certificate from them, which I did not select when registering, I only selected just Engineer, but they said I have enormous experience from abroad so they have awarded me from their side. I did not argue a lot and paid them 2300 instead of 1200SR as they were insisting me to pay 2300SR and get registered or else I wont be able to renew my Iqama.
    Anybody here knows any implications of this circular?? what if one does not take the test, will his Iqama still be renewed
    I recently renewed my Iqama without anybody asking me anything, but what about in future??
    Will appreciate if anybody throws some light in this regard

    1. That is strange because previously this option was available with the engineer if he would like to register as associate or professional engineer.

    2. Yeah it was quite strange for me in the beginning, why would they want to award me with Professional Engineer when I only opted for Just Engineer
      Anyways when going across different forums online I found one similar case of an engineer who was awarded Associate Engineer when he only opted for Engineer
      Just cant get understand how to solve this problem, I am not sure what help I can get from SCE when I think about my previous experience with them

    3. I have heard today that maybe they are changing their policy and trying to get more engineers at professional and associate level, maybe to earn more or to downsize or to improve the quality of engineers, anyway as this is something new, i guess it will be difficult to find help in this regard at the moment

    4. This was last year Jan 2014 Nauman when I first registered on SCE,

      Delete
    5. Then after that I hav seen several SCE registrations in which they didn't push for associate or professional engineer registration, so I guess ur case was an exception

      Delete
  2. Then what should be my next course of action, shall I just wait & watch or approach SCE, any advise from your experience, Thanks

  3. Dear,

    I have two questions

    I am New to to kingdom and while registering my details in the SCE portal Date of Birth tab and Country of Origin tab was grayed out and i am unable to edit and shows 1965-10-25 and ----. But i continued thinking that its system problem i completed registration and i didnt payed anything, So before i pay please let me know what to do, is there any option so that i can delete this and create new one or what.

    Second question is, is Iqama and SCE registration is necessary for getting exit from and what if Visa expires and dont have Iqama

    Kindly guide me on this.
