PRC Nullifies the Nov 17-18 Examination Results

Wednesday, 12 December 2007

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) nullifies the examination results in the subjects Hydraulics and Geotechnical Engineering and Structural Engineering and Construction in the 17-18 November 2007 Civil Engineer Licensure Examination given by the Board of Civil Engineering after discovering irregularities in the said two (2) subjects. A total of 4,782 examinees took the licensure examination in eight (8) test centers nationwide, namely, in the cities of Manila, Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Legazpi and Tacloban. After evaluation of the examination result in the subject of Hydraulics and Geotechnical Engineering, PRC finds the same to be "statistically improbable" considering the unusually high rating obtained by examinees. The PRC referred the matter to the National Bureau of Immigration to conduct an investigation on irregularities, including identification of the people behind this anomaly. The Commission resolved in its official announcement dated 26 November 2007 sent to the University to give another examination in the subjects Hydraulics and Geotechnical Engineering and Structural Engineering and Construction on 12 January 2008 without the need to pay the examination fee. Examinees shall no longer take the subjects Mathematics, Surveying and Transportation Engineering. Examination details on school and room assignment will be posted at the PRC Central and Regional Offices and in its website. Examinees will be required to present their Notice of Admission used in the November 2007 examinations on 12 January 2008 examinations.
