Mechanical Engineering Board Exam 2026: Exam Dates and Deadlines

Looking for another profession? See the complete PRC Board Exam Schedule 2026 — all 88 licensure exams, searchable, with the same filing windows and result targets.

Passing Score for the Mechanical Engineer Licensure Examination

An average of 70% on all subjects with no rating below 50% in any subject, for Professional Mechanical Engineer, Mechanical Engineer and Certified Plant Mechanic candidates alike. There is no conditional pass in the law. Source: RA 8495, Sec. 18.

What the exam covers

Three subjects over three days on PRC’s program: Power Plant Engineering 35%; Mathematics with Engineering Economics and Basic Engineering Sciences 35%; Machine Design, Materials and Shop Practice 30%. RA 8495, Sec. 17 names the subjects without weights; the weights come from Board Resolution No. 57, s. 2013. Source: PRC — February 2026 Mechanical Engineers Program of Examination.

Requirements to Take the Mechanical Engineering Board Exam

Under RA 8495 (Philippine Mechanical Engineering Act of 1998), an applicant for the Mechanical Engineer Licensure Examination must:

• be a Filipino citizen
• have no conviction for a crime involving moral turpitude
• hold a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from a government-recognised school — no age or experience requirement for the ME exam (experience applies to the PME and CPM exams)

Source: RA 8495, Sec. 15. 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.

How to Apply for the Mechanical Engineering Board Exam (LERIS)

1. Create or log in to your account on LERIS, PRC's Licensure Examination and Registration Information System, at online.prc.gov.ph.
2. Select the Mechanical Engineer Licensure Examination and your preferred testing center.
3. Upload your documents and ID photo, then pay the examination fee through the available payment channels.
4. Book an appointment and submit your requirements at your chosen PRC office before the deadline.
5. File within the application window in the table above — late applications are not accepted except in justifiable cases defined by PRC rules.

Mechanical Engineering Board Exam Results 2026: When and Where They Come Out

PRC's target release dates are February 19, 2026 for the Feb 11–13, 2026 exam and August 12, 2026 for the Aug 7–9, 2026 exam. The Feb 11–13, 2026 results were released on February 19, 2026. The Aug 7–9, 2026 results were released on August 13, 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

An applicant who fails for the third time may take the examination again only after one year has passed. No refresher course is required by the law. Source: RA 8495, Sec. 20.

Mechanical Engineering 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 ME 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.
