AMIE Examinations
The Associate Member of the
Institution of Engineers (popularly known as AMIE) is a
professional certification given by Institution of Engineers (India). The

B examination of the Institution.
If an applicant passes both
sections of the examination, he or she becomes a Graduate of the Institution
of Engineers (GradIE). The Indian Ministry of Human Resource Development
considers this qualification equivalent to a degree in engineering. GradIE
was earlier Associate of IE or AIE (Bachelor's degree of Institution).
Minimum duration for passing
both sections is 4 years, however professionals with 3 years polytechnic
engineering can complete it in 3 years since they are exempted from certain
examination papers of Section A. One can not appear in Section B without
