The   Institution   of   Engineers   (India)   [IEI]   is   the   largest   multi- disciplinary professional body of engineers, established in 1920 with its Headquarters located in Kolkata  and incorporated under  Royal Charter  on  9th   September,  1935  by  the  then  His  Majesty  of  King George V.   The Royal Charter endowed the Institution with the responsibility to  promote  the general  advancement of engineering amongst its members and persons attached to the Institution. After Independence, the Institution is a “Body Corporate” protected under Article 372 of the Constitution of India. The Institution of Engineers (India) is administered by a National Council with the President as its

Head.

The Institution has been serving the engineering fraternity for over a Century  with  its  national  and  international  presence  through  125 Centres spread all over India, 6 Overseas Chapters, 6 Fora and an Organ namely Engineering Staff College of India (ESCI), Hyderabad. The Institution encompasses 15 (fifteen) engineering disciplines with a Corporate membership of over 2 lakhs.

IEI has been recognized as Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (SIRO) by the Ministry of Science & Technology, Govt. of India and besides conducting its own research, provides Grant-in-Aid to UG/PG/ PhD students of Engineering Institutes & Universities. The Institution of Engineers (India) is the first professional body to represent India in several International Bodies, such as the World Mining Congress (WMC), the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO), the Commonwealth Engineers’ Council (CEC), the Federation International du Beton (fib), and the Federation of Engineering Institutions of South and Central Asia (FEISCA). It also has bilateral agreements with a number of professional societies across the globe. IEI holds the International Professional Engineers (IntPE) Register for India under the global International Professional Engineers Alliance (IntPEA). The Institution also awards the Professional Engineers (PE) Certification.

The Institution of Engineers (India) as a pioneer body has been conducting Sections A & B Examinations popularly known as AMIE, successful completion of which is recognized as equivalent to a degree in engineering by the Government of India, the Union Public Service  Commission,  the  State  Governments  and  many  Public  / Private Sector organizations in the country.

Ever since its inception, IEI has been the forerunner in setting up national standards for promoting the country’s industrial base which culminated on the formation of the Indian Standard Institution (ISI), now called as Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). IEI, in collaboration with Springer Nature Pvt. Ltd., regularly publishes peer-reviewed international journals in five Series, covering fifteen engineering disciplines.

IEI issues membership certification to the eligible engineers, technologists and scientists. Charter Engineer, Professional Engineer and International Professional Engineer certifications in various disciplines of engineering are also issued by this Institution.

During  Indian  Engineering  Congress,  National  Conventions, Engineers’ Day, recognitions and awards are conferred upon the distinguished engineers in recognition of their contributions in the engineering domain. The Institution maintains a panel of highly qualified and well experienced     Arbitrators     having     technical     and     professional engineering  competence  covering  15  core  engineering  disciplines from amongst its Fellow members who are attached to 125 State and Local  Centres  of  the  Institution   located  all  over  the  country.   IEI awards a certificate to the empanelled arbitrators in recognisition of their expertise in the field of arbitration.
