Criticism

The process of selecting Chartered Engineers have been criticized, due to only IESL having the authority to award the designation and sole discretion to determine the selection criteria. In 2010, it discontinued the mature entry route for non-degree holding applicants to apply for Chartered Engineer designation. However, it grants membership to diploma graduates of the IESL owned IESL College of Engineering Pvt. Ltd., forcing non-degree holding applicants to undertake its fee levied IESL College courses to gain IESL membership.Join the IESL College of Engineering to become a leader in Engineering profession!!
