Passing Score for the Electronics Engineer Licensure Examination (ECE)

A passing rating of 70% in each subject — not a general average. A candidate who passes the majority of the subjects but scores between 60% and 69% in the others may take one removal examination in those subjects; failing the removal exam means failing the whole examination. The Electronics Technician (ECT) exam uses the same rule. Source: RA 9292, Sec. 16.

What the exam covers

Four subjects over two days, 100 items each, weighted by Board Resolution No. 10, s. 2022: Mathematics 20%; General Engineering and Applied Sciences 20%; Electronics Engineering 30%; Electronics Systems and Technologies 30%. RA 9292, Sec. 15 lists the areas the Board may recluster. Source: PRC — March 2026 ECE Program of Examination.

Requirements to Take the ECE Board Exam

Under RA 9292 (Electronics Engineering Law of 2004), an applicant for the Electronics Engineer Licensure Examination (ECE) must:

  • be a Filipino citizen, or a foreign citizen qualified under the reciprocity rule in Sec. 33
  • be of good moral character with no conviction for a criminal offense involving moral turpitude
  • hold a Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering or in Electronics Engineering, or an equivalent engineering course the Board accepts, after a full baccalaureate resident course

Source: RA 9292, Sec. 14. PRC lists the exact documents for each round inside LERIS — typically the transcript of records with the remark “For Board Examination Purposes”, a PSA birth certificate, a PSA marriage certificate when filing under a married name, and the examination fee.

ECE Board Exam Results 2026: When and Where They Come Out

PRC's target release dates are March 24, 2026 for the Mar 17–18, 2026 exam and October 23, 2026 for the Oct 17–18, 2026 exam. The Mar 17–18, 2026 results were released on March 24, 2026. Targets are printed in the resolution — the actual release can land a few days either side and is announced only by PRC. AyTool does not host exam results or lists of passers; passing rates for every 2026 release are compared on the PRC Board Exam Results 2026 page.

  1. prc.gov.ph — the official list of passers and the top 10, posted as a news release on prc.gov.ph and on PRC's official Facebook page.
  2. Verification of Rating — your own scores per subject, through LERIS at online.prc.gov.ph once PRC opens the service for that exam.
  3. News sites and review centers republish the list within hours; treat anything not on prc.gov.ph as unofficial.

Retakes

Beyond the single removal examination in Sec. 16, RA 9292 sets no retake limit, waiting period or refresher-course requirement. Source: RA 9292, Sec. 16.

ECE Board Exam 2027 Schedule: When PRC Publishes It

PRC has not yet released the 2027 schedule. It publishes the whole following-year calendar in one resolution, usually signed in late October and posted on prc.gov.ph in mid-November — the 2026 schedule (Resolution No. 2113, s. 2025) was signed on October 23, 2025 and posted on November 17, 2025 — so the ECE board exam 2027 dates are most likely out in November 2026. Each profession usually keeps the same months from one calendar to the next, so the 2026 rounds above are the working reference until then. This page switches to the official 2027 dates the day PRC publishes them.
