Institution of Engineers (India)

The Institution of Engineers (India) is the national organization of engineers in India. It has more than one million members in 15 engineering disciplines in 125 centers or chapters in India and overseas; it is the world's largest multi-disciplinary engineering professional society in the engineering and technology world. This institute was established in 1920 in Kolkata, West Bengal, and is acclaimed to have pioneered non-formal education in engineering. The institute conducts an examination of its associate membership. This examination is considered to be on par with B.E. / B.Tech. When contemplated as an eligibility qualification to write competitive examinations like the Indian Civil Service, Indian Engineering Services, GATE, etc., and for employment in Government, public and private sectors in India. This qualification is recognized by the Ministry of HRD, the government of India, as equivalent to B.E./ B.Tech. The institute was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1935. It is currently headquartered at 8 Gokhale Road, Kolkata.
Preface.
The Associate Member of the Institution of Engineers India is a professional certification given by The Institution of Engineers (India). The qualification can be earned by passing Section A, Section B, Project Work, and Laboratory experiments examination of the Institution. If an applicant passes both sections of the examination, he or she becomes an Associate Member of The Institution of Engineers (India) (AMIE). The Indian Ministry of Human Resource Development considers this qualification equivalent to a degree in engineering. AMIE was earlier Grad IE (Bachelor's degree of Institution). The government of India in continuation to its earlier recognition has recognized the passing of sections A and B examinations as revised, conducted by The Institution of Engineers (India), as equivalent to a bachelor's degree in the appropriate branch of Engineering of the recognized universities in India and has notified in the Gazette of India, Part I, Section I, dated February 11, 2006. AMIE is also recognized by UK-NARIC as a British bachelor's honors degree. AMIE is also recognized by FCSA Foreign credential service of America as equivalent to a bachelor's degree in engineering. The minimum duration for passing both sections is 4 years, however, professionals with 3 years of polytechnic engineering can complete it in 3 years since they are exempted from certain examination papers of Section A. Project work and Laboratory experiments can be carried out only after clearing at least 5 subjects of Section B.
History.
IEI was established in 1920 in Madras with Sir Thomas R. J. Ward as the founding president. It was formally inaugurated in 1921 by Lord Chelmsform, the then-Viceroy of British India. In 1935. IEI obtained the Royal Charter of Incorporation from King George V 'to promote and advance the science, practice, and business of engineering. Sir Thomas Guthrie Russell (President 1933–34) led the successful petition for a Royal Charter. Harold Williams served as President for a period in the 1950s. The Institution obtained the full membership of the Engineers Mobility Forum (EMF) at the Bi-annual International Engineers Meetings 2009 held in Kyoto, Japan on 17 June 2009.
Development.
Subsequently led to the birth of the local institutions. Sdasysnkya of this institution in 1920 where it was only 138 thousand in 1926 exceeded there. The organization launched a quarterly magazine to remove 1921 and in June 1923, a quarterly bulletin (Vivrnptrika) was put out with him. Membership in this organization, it's Aesoshiatt 1928 (associate membership) had started to take the exams, every level of government engineering college b. S. C. The degree is considered equivalent. December 19, 1930, the then Viceroy Lord Irwin, the foundation of its own private building 8, Gokhale Road, in Calcutta. January 1, 1932, the company's office moved into the new building. September 9, 1935, in relation to a State Charter of the emperor George V accepted. In the second paragraph of the declaration of the institution, duties are described briefly as follows: "Indian engineers to meet the goals and objectives of the entity being established, they increase the general development of engineering and engineering science, their implementation in India and people associated with the organization and members of engineering-related topics Information And-in providing facilities to receive and give ideas." The branches of this institution slowly began spreading across the country. Timely Mysore, Hyderabad, London, Punjab and open its center in Bombay. May 1943 Associate Membership exams began to be taken twice a year. In 1944, four major categories of technical operations were established. Civil, Micanikl (mechanical), electrical (electrical), and General (General) Engineering. Different for each department head has to be elected for a term of three years. The Silver Jubilee was celebrated in 1945 in Calcutta. Bihar in 1947, Mdhyprant, Sindh, Balochistan and Tiruwankur, these four locations open new centers.
Fora.
There are five fora of the IEI: the National Design &amp; Research Foundation (NDRF), Water Management Forum (WMF), Safety and Quality Forum (SQF), Sustainable Development Forum (SDF), and Rural Development Forum (RDF). The IEI also has an autonomous organ, the Engineering Staff College of India.
Functions.
In addition to representing India in the Engineers Mobility Forum, the institution has been prominent in World Mining Congress (WMC), the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO), the Commonwealth Engineers’ Council (CEC), the Fédération Internationale du Béton (fib), and the Federation of Engineering Institutions of South and Central Asia (FEISCA). It has no worldwide bilateral agreements with other professional societies.
Government Recognitions.
Government notification: - Associate Member (A.M.I.E.) is a bachelor's degree in engineering awarded by The Institution of Engineers (India). For those who have pursued a formal education in Engineering, an associate membership engineering degree certificate can be achieved by qualifying in the examinations conducted by the institution. This entails passing Section A, Section B, and the Project Work, Laboratory Experiments examination of the Institution. The government of India, in continuation to its earlier recognition, has recognized the passing of Sections A &amp; B Examinations as revised, conducted by The Institution of Engineers (India), as equivalent to a bachelor's degree in the appropriate branch of engineering of the recognized universities in India and has notified in the Gazette of India, Part 1, Section 1, dated 11, 2006. Since 1928 an associate membership to the IEI has been deemed equivalent (by the Association of Indian Universities and the Union Public Service Commission) to an undergraduate degree in Engineering. The Indian Ministry of Human Resource Development considers that this qualification is equivalent to a B.E. and B.Tech degree awarded by a recognized Indian university and to a British Bachelor's Honors degree. The Foreign Credential Service of America considers it to be equivalent to a bachelor's degree in engineering.
