SUSPENSION OF NSE GRADUATESIP EXAMINATIONS
At the Executive Committee meeting of the Nigerian Society of Engineers, held on 8th June, 2008, the whole exercise of Graduateship Examinations was examined.  This was in consideration of various complaints that have been received on the relevance of the examinations and its acceptability.

The complaints have always been on the question of relevance of the certificates to the promotion of the holders in their respective places of work.  Many organizations do not accept the certificates hence the holders seem not to be enjoying any benefit for all their efforts.  There is also the need to do a thorough examination of the content, conduct and method of evaluation of the examinations to ascertain why many organizations reject them.

In view of this, it has become imperative to review the whole exercise, so as to make the examinations acceptable and relevant to the holders of the Certificate and various establishments.  To achieve this, therefore, the Executive Committee has suspended forthwith, the Graduateship Examinations until further notice.

A committee for the review of Graduateship Examinations will soon be constituted.
Meanwhile, please accept the assurances of our highest esteem.
