Latest Board Exam Result and News

PRC voids 2 exam results in civil eng'g board (November 2007 Civil Engineering Licensure Examination)

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) invalidated the examination results in two subjects of the Civil Engineer Licensure Examinations conducted on November 17 and 18 due irregularities.

In PRC's official announcement dated November 26, the commission voided the exam results of the Hydraulics and Geotechnical Engineering and Structural Engineering and Construction portions given by the Board of Civil Engineering.

“After evaluation of the examination result in the subject Hyrdaulics and Geotechnical Engineering, PRC finds the same to be "statistically improbable" considering the unusually high grade/rating obtained by examinees,” the PRC announcement said.

Meanwhile, the National Bureau of Investigation said it confiscated two mobile phones from two examinees. The PRC discovered that one of the two cellular phones contained answers to 30 exam questions. Of the 30 questions, 21 answers were found to be correct.

The irregularities in the exam results have been reported to Labor and Employment Secretary Arturo Brion who in turn lauded the immediate and decisive move of the PRC.

Reports said 4,782 examinees took the licensure examination in eight testing centers nationwide.
