Doesn't the university have to go through a procedure to get their degree accredited? If the university's degree is accredited, you don't need to do anything. And is this what you meant?

Usama Hafeez | 12 years ago

No, university's degree is only accredited by HEC, we need to get degree accredited by PEC ourselves.
We usually do not require PEC's recognition, but in some of the cases they demand for PEC accredited degree, like while applying for masters.

Munahil Murrieum | 12 years ago

Hmm ok I didn't know that. I did however go to PEC and get the "Engineer" title without specifically getting my degree accredited...

Usama Hafeez | 12 years ago

Ok. Did you get some registration number from them as well?

Munahil Murrieum | 12 years ago

I got a "Certificate of Registration Under Pakistan Engineering Council Act 1976". And yes that did have a Registration No.

Usama Hafeez | 12 years ago

Alright. May be just a certificate is required. How much time did they take in making certificate? immediately or in weeks/months?

Munahil Murrieum | 12 years ago

Hmm, it took 1 month. I'm still not sure if what you're asking is different from this. Lets wait for more replies

Usama Hafeez | 12 years ago

Yeah, lets wait.

PEC accredits almost all Engg degrees of the universities recognized by HEC (http://www.pec.org.pk/reg_criteria_PE.aspx). When you get your HEC recognized degree all you need to do is apply for your registration in PEC as a Regular Engineer(for Fresh Grads) or Professional Engineer(For Pros) the membership duration for regulars is around 4 or 5 years.
I have a PEC membership as a regular Engineer that I got back in 2007 after my graduation, it expires in Dec this year and I'll have to apply for a renewal then.
Universities like NUST(again the HEC recognized ones) ask for the PEC registration proof when you apply for Post Grad studies, so you have to present them with the PEC membership certificate.
Registration process is mostly online and can be seen on PEC website.
I hope it helps.
For details you can follow http://www.pec.org.pk

correction : For Regular, Read Registered

Thank you for all the information, but I was thinking, if it is possible to apply for Masters even without having a PEC registration? Like, the NUST Post Graduate Program's registration asks if degree has been accredited by PEC or not. Will it matter, if it is not?

Munahil Murrieum | 12 years ago

you'll have to call them and ask them, if you have a grad degree from NUST and you are applying, you may not need PEC membership as such, but its not about NUST or any other university, the membership has its value for Pakistani Engineers so its only useful if you get one. But again you probably dont need the membership if you are applying for Post Grad at the same univ that you did your Graduation from.
You can call NUST PG Help Line for more info @ 051 90851045

Arrite, thanks. I will definitely call and check.

I think first you have to complete a degree requirement by studying in the university where engineering degrees are accredited by PEC. UET and UMT are the universities where you can go for a degree programe and the degree which they will award will be accredited by PEC.

No, as far as I know, it is only accredited by HEC, we need to get it accredited by PEC ourselves.

Munahil Murrieum | 12 years ago

Engineering degrees are always accredited by PEC by default.
