Topnotchers and top performing schools
PRC publishes the top REE and RME placers and the performance of schools on results day. Also, these PDFs are in the button group above. Specifically, the topnotchers PDFs show each placer’s name, school, and subject-by-subject ratings.
PEE Technical Evaluation results
PRC releases the Professional Electrical Engineer (PEE) Technical Evaluation results separately from the REE and RME passers lists. The PEE evaluation covers senior REEs with four or more years of documented active practice. The April 2026 PEE PDFs are below; check prc.gov.ph for later PEE batches.
What the REE and RME exams cover
The REE is a two-day written exam covering three subjects at specific weights. The RME runs on one day with two subjects, each worth exactly half the total score. Both exams require a 70% general weighted average, and no single subject may fall below 50%.
| Exam | Subject | Weight | Schedule |
|---|---|---|---|
| REE | Mathematics | 25% | REE Day 1, AM session |
| REE | Engineering Sciences and Allied Subjects (ESAS) | 30% | REE Day 1, PM session |
| REE | Electrical Engineering Professional Subjects (EEPS) | 45% | REE Day 2, AM session |
| RME | Technical Subjects | 50% | RME Day 1, AM session |
| RME | Philippine Electrical Code (PEC) Parts 1 and 2 | 50% | RME Day 1, PM session |
Many BSEE graduates take both the REE and RME in the same sitting since the exams run on consecutive days. If they pass the RME but not the REE, they still have a license and can work immediately while preparing for a retake. However, the RME has a practical ceiling under RA 7920: RMEs handle installations up to 600 volts or 500 kVA. Beyond those limits, an REE or PEE must take direct supervision.
Engineering Sciences: the wildcard that trips most examinees
Most people go into the REE dreading Mathematics and EEPS. They study hard for both. Meanwhile, Engineering Sciences and Allied Subjects catches them completely off guard.
ESAS is the true wildcard. You are sitting for an electrical license, but the subject pulls from chemistry, fluid mechanics, materials science, and computer programming. The scope is so wide that no review plan covers all of it. Within ESAS, the specific topic that costs the most examinees their passing score is Engineering Economics.
The Economics trap works like this: the problems are not difficult in the way circuit analysis is difficult. They rely on reading comprehension. One phrase, “beginning of the year” versus “end of the year,” sends you to a completely different formula and a completely wrong answer. That wrong answer is usually sitting in the multiple-choice options, waiting. Furthermore, the problems are written as long, paragraph-style scenarios. They eat up time, and once you start rushing through the remaining items, everything unravels.
For EEPS specifically, Power System Analysis and fault calculations are the technical gatekeepers. However, because examinees expect EEPS to be hard, they prepare for it. ESAS is where the surprise failures happen. So if you are reviewing for your next exam, treat ESAS as your primary subject, not your afterthought.
Calculator rules: what is banned and what to bring
The CASIO FX-991ES and FX-991ES Plus are banned by PRC Memorandum Circular No. 2018-01. These models can store user-defined formulas in memory, and they became the primary target for “modding,” where someone swaps the internal circuit board with a more powerful programmable chip while keeping the original casing. Proctors are trained to spot this now, and the risk is not worth it.
Three reliable alternatives for your exam sitting:
- Canon F-789SGA, the most popular choice among engineering board takers. It handles 4×4 matrix calculations, complex numbers, and vector analysis. Buy the transparent-casing version to avoid inspection issues.
- Casio FX-570MS (2nd Edition), accepted at every PRC branch without question. It handles complex numbers and 3×3 matrices. The two-line display is less comfortable, but proctors never flag it.
- Texas Instruments TI-36X Pro, fully legal and capable. Bring a printout of the PRC Allowed Calculator List since some proctors are less familiar with TI models.
You are limited to one calculator on your desk. Before the exam starts, proctors will ask everyone to perform a Shift + 9 + 3 reset to clear stored data. In addition, bring a spare battery (LR44 or AAA depending on your model) in your transparent plastic bag.
Next REE and RME exam schedule
PRC holds the REE and RME exams twice a year, and the dates of the next exam appear here as soon as PRC publishes its schedule. There is no mandatory waiting period for retakers. Apply through leris.prc.gov.ph once the application window opens; it usually opens about three months before the exam and closes about a month before.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| How to apply | Online via LERIS (leris.prc.gov.ph) |
| Retake application fee | REE: P600 | RME: P450 |
| Requirements (retaker) | Select “Repeater” in LERIS; PSA birth cert and TOR stay validated in the system |
How to check your results safely
PRC posts official results at prc.gov.ph. That is the only source to trust. Results appear as a downloadable PDF, not a searchable online database. Search your name inside the PDF after downloading it.
Fake-results pages flood social media within minutes of every major announcement. They mimic PRC’s design and ask for your reference number or personal details. In fact, PRC never requests payment or a log-in to view the passers list. The official PDF is free and public. If any site asks for money to “check your name,” it is a scam.
You passed: 3 steps you must complete before you can legally practice
Passing the board exam does not make you a licensed engineer yet. Under RA 7920, you need three steps in sequence: PRC initial registration, oath-taking, and IIEE membership. Skipping any one means you are practicing without a valid license.
| Step | What to do | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1. PRC initial registration | Log in to LERIS, select “Initial Registration,” enter your NOA application number, and book an appointment at your preferred PRC office. Online registration opens June 15, 2026. | REE: P1,050 | RME: P870 |
| 2. Oath-taking | Register via LERIS under the “e-Oath” tab. Choose face-to-face (Barong Tagalog or Filipiniana required) or virtual via Teams or Zoom. You cannot claim your PRC ID and COR without completing this step. | Varies by event organizer |
| 3. IIEE membership | Apply at iiee.org.ph or your local chapter. Membership is required under RA 7920 for all registered electrical practitioners. | REE: P1,793 | RME: P1,493 |
Bring the following to your PRC registration appointment: the LERIS-generated Oath Form, your Notice of Admission, two passport-sized photos (white background, with name tag), a current Community Tax Certificate (Cedula), two sets of metered documentary stamps, and a short brown envelope.
IIEE membership: the benefits most new engineers ignore
The membership card is the document that lets you legally practice. Beyond that, the Institute of Integrated Electrical Engineers is your most practical tool for career growth if you actually use it.
Start with the local chapter, not just the national membership. Many electrical engineering jobs in construction and consultancy are never posted online. They go to someone a senior PEE mentioned at last month’s chapter meeting. Show up. That is how your name gets into conversations before you even apply.
CPD units are also cheaper through IIEE than through private providers. You need Continuing Professional Development units to renew your PRC license every three years. IIEE webinars and the national convention cover a significant portion of those units at a fraction of what private training centers charge.
The IIEE also runs a PEE Mentorship Committee that pairs new REEs with practicing PEEs. Start that relationship in Year 1. You will arrive at your PEE application window with four years of properly formatted Certified Experience Records rather than a folder of gaps and missing signatures. Also, the IIEE’s Oplan Dagitab program deploys after typhoons to restore power. Joining it builds real emergency restoration experience and a reputation for reliability among peers who will work with you for decades.
On the practical side, members get 20 to 30 percent off the Philippine Electrical Code volumes. Since the PEC updates every few years and the full set is expensive, that discount adds up. Keep your dues current. You need an active Certificate of Good Standing from the IIEE to renew your PRC license, and clearing a lapsed balance under deadline pressure is a headache you do not need.
The PEE license: the goal that starts at oath-taking
The Professional Electrical Engineer (PEE) is the highest license in the profession. An REE can supervise and manage, but only a PEE can sign and seal electrical plans and specifications. If you want to run your own consultancy or lead major infrastructure projects, PEE is the target.
The four-year clock starts the moment you take your oath as an REE. Under RA 7920, you need at least four years of active practice before you can apply. In the Philippine Qualifications Framework, the PEE sits at Level 7, the same as a Master’s degree. There is no written board exam. Instead, applicants submit a Technical Report and defend it in an oral examination before the Board of Electrical Engineering.
| Feature | Registered Electrical Engineer (REE) | Professional Electrical Engineer (PEE) |
|---|---|---|
| How to qualify | Written board exam (Math, ESAS, EEPS) | Technical Report and Oral Examination |
| Experience required | None; fresh graduates may apply | 4 or more years as a practicing REE |
| Primary authority | Supervise, operate, and maintain | Sign and seal electrical plans |
| PQF level | Level 6 (Bachelor’s equivalent) | Level 7 (Master’s equivalent) |
PRC Resolution No. 2163 (s. 2026) schedules the next NCR PEE Oral Examination for December 9 to 11, 2026. If you are already an REE with four or more years of documented practice, check the full schedule at prc.gov.ph.
The project documentation mistake that hurts you at year four
Every new passer chases the same three things first: IIEE card, PRC ID, CPD plan. Money and time fix all three. However, the career-damaging mistake cannot be fixed retroactively. Failing to document your work from Day 1 is what blocks your PEE application four years later.
To apply for the PEE license, you need a detailed Certified Experience Record (CER) that proves four years of active practice. Four years from now, you will not remember the exact kVA rating of the transformer you installed in your first year, or the brand of the switchgear on that industrial project. Beyond the PEE application, there is also a legal side: if a fire or major equipment failure occurs on a project you handled three years ago, investigators will ask for your logbook and as-built drawings. Without personal copies of testing and commissioning reports and signed change orders, you cannot prove you followed the Philippine Electrical Code.
A simple digital folder per project solves this. Save the single-line diagram, the load schedule, and any testing and commissioning reports you signed. Keep a spreadsheet with these columns: project name and location, your specific role, total connected load in kVA and voltage levels, inclusive dates, and the PEE in charge (name and license number, because you will need their signature on your CER later). So treat your career like a continuous audit from Day 1. A project you did not document is, for the PRC’s purposes, a project that never happened.
What to do if you failed or got conditioned
There is no mandatory waiting period. Apply through LERIS for the next exam; the window usually opens about three months before the exam and closes about a month before, and the dates are in the schedule section above.
| Your result | What it means | What you retake |
|---|---|---|
| Failed | General weighted average below 70% | All three REE subjects (or both RME subjects) |
| Conditioned | Average of 70% or above, but one subject below 50% | That one subject only; you have two years to clear it |
Since you already have a LERIS account, the retake process is faster. Select “Repeater” as the application type. In most cases, you do not need to resubmit your PSA Birth Certificate or Transcript of Records because these stay validated in the system. The retake application fee is P600 for REE and P450 for RME.
Under RA 7920, failing three times triggers a mandatory one-year refresher course before the fourth attempt. You must complete it at a recognized CPE provider or engineering school. Many review centers offer repeater packages at a lower rate for second and third-time takers, focusing on problem-solving drills rather than re-teaching theory you already know.

Frequently asked questions about the electrical engineers board exam
When were the September 2026 REE/RME results released?
PRC released the September 2026 REE/RME results on September 14, 2026. Registered Electrical Engineers: 1,676 out of 3,399 passed (49.31%); Registered Master Electricians: 715 out of 961 passed (74.40%). That was five working days after the last exam day.What is the passing score for the Electrical Engineers board exam?
You need a general weighted average of 70% or higher, with no single subject falling below 50%. If your average hits 70% but one subject drops below 50%, you are conditioned and must retake only that subject within two years. However, failing outright means retaking all subjects in September.
What is the difference between REE and RME?
The REE is a two-day exam covering Mathematics (25%), ESAS (30%), and EEPS (45%). The RME is a one-day exam covering Technical Subjects (50%) and the Philippine Electrical Code (50%). REEs can supervise complex electrical systems, while RMEs handle installations up to 600 volts or 500 kVA. Many BSEE graduates take both in the same sitting as a safety net.
Can I retake the board exam immediately if I fail?
Yes. There is no mandatory waiting period for the first or second retake. PRC holds the REE and RME exams twice a year. Failing three times triggers a mandatory one-year refresher course under RA 7920 before a fourth attempt is allowed.
How do I join IIEE after passing the board exam?
Apply at iiee.org.ph or at your local chapter. New board passer membership fees are P1,793 for REE and P1,493 for RME. IIEE membership is required under RA 7920, and you need an active Certificate of Good Standing to renew your PRC license every three years.
