Before applying for Examination Re-registration, candidates are advised to read the following :

Grade points of all subjects required to appear to complete the entire course, including laboratory experiments and project work, shall be divided by the number of subjects to arrive at the CGPA. This shall only be indicated in the pass grade card of Section B.

Candidates, who have completed Section A in old scheme securing specific marks in all required subjects and subsequently completed Section B in revised scheme securing specific grades in required subjects, CGPA shall be calculated by converting marks of individual subjects of Section A to grade points and then adding grade points of all subjects of Section A, Section B, project work, and laboratory experiments and divided by the number of applicable subjects. No separate grade card for Section A, which is already completed in old scheme, shall be issued.

Candidates Exempted from Section A, by virtue of Passing Sections A & B Examinations earlier, and passed Section B in Additional Branch in Revised Scheme

Such candidates shall be considered similar to those who obtained exemption from Section A by virtue of passing degree in engineering from the recognized university. CGPA for them shall be calculated adding the grade points obtained in required number of subjects in Section B, project work and laboratory experiments and dividing by number of applicable subjects.

On acquiring the diploma level qualification, Technician members, changing their membership to Senior Technician, are eligible to get exemption, on request, in one or more subjects of same nomenclature in both the schemes of revised syllabi, effective from Summer 2005 examination, if obtained Grade C or above in the subject, as Technician member.

Now, they have shown interest to appear in Section A/Section B examination afresh in revised scheme, forfeiting their subject(s) exemption in old scheme. The Council, at its 642nd meeting, approved that such category of candidates may also be permitted to appear in revised scheme in Section A/Section B on request, provided they apply for the same with fee of Rs. 1500/-, which is equivalent to examination re-registration fee as they will get six year period afresh like the candidates for examination re-registration.
