WITHDRAWAL OF RECOGNITION OF IME QUALIFICATIONS


The Government has withdrawn the recognition of Associated Membership Examination Section A & B and Part-I & II of Technician Engineers Examination (T) of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (India), Mumbai for the purposes of employment under Central Government.

The withdrawal comes into force with immediate effect and will operate prospectively. Students who have already got Section A & B and Part-I and II awards from IME (India), Mumbai will continue to be eligible for employment in Central Government.

The decision to withdraw recognition as mentioned above came after a review carried out by High Level Committee for recognition of educational qualifications.

IME (India), Mumbai will be at liberty to approach the Ministry of Human Resource Development for recognition of awards granted by them for employment purposes in the Central Government as and when they remove all deficiencies with regard to revision and upgradation of curriculum, examination system, procedure for appointment and qualification of examiners, and other related issues, as pointed out by the Group constituted by the High Level Committee.
