Entry Qualifying Examination Syllabus
Who should sit for the Entry Qualifying Examination (EQE)?
EQE is applicable for the students who had registered for engineering degree programmes before 01.05.2018 without the entry qualifications prescribed by IESL at the time of registering for their study programmes.
This examination consists of two examination papers:
- EX001: Engineering Mathematics
- EX002: Science for Engineering
Please note that the IESL will conduct EQE only until 2022.
