IESL Part II Electrical

No. It is an independent study resource and claims no official affiliation, endorsement or partnership with the Institution of Engineers, Sri Lanka. Always treat the IESL website and secretariat as the authoritative source for syllabus, eligibility, dates, fees and results.

IESL lists this as one of its sectional committees, alongside civil, mechanical, chemical and process, building services, agriculture and plantation, and IT and communication engineering. The committee's field signals the technical breadth to expect: power, machines, electronics, control and telecommunication topics rather than a single narrow specialism.

Check directly with the IESL secretariat, which publishes contact details as +94 11 2698426 and +94 11 2699202, and [email protected]. Format, paper count, duration and passing criteria are set by the institution and can change between sessions, so do not rely on second-hand summaries or on what a colleague sat two years ago.

Treat it as a professional-review-level assessment, not a university repeat. It rewards candidates who can select the right method quickly, carry units and assumptions cleanly, and show working that a reviewer can follow. Breadth matters: a candidate strong only in power systems but weak in electronics or communications loses easy marks.

Running out of time because too long was spent on one derivation; skipping assumptions and unit checks so correct methods score poorly; misreading what a question actually asks; and preparing only from notes without timed practice. Weakness in one sub-discipline is also common, since candidates tend to revise what they already enjoy.

Rebuild fundamentals in circuit theory, machines, power systems, electronics, control and communications first. Then move to timed calculation sets by topic, then to full timed papers, then to written-answer practice where you justify assumptions and sketch layouts. Keep a log of every error and revisit it weekly rather than rereading notes passively.

The IESL site does not state a retake policy in the material available here, so this page cannot confirm the number of attempts, waiting periods or any re-registration fee. Ask the secretariat in writing before you rely on an assumption, and keep copies of their reply with your application records.

IESL announced that its secretariat would be closed on 2nd November 2026, which affects in-person submission of examination and membership matters. Plan around such closures: submit early, use the published email address where permitted, and check the announcements page before travelling to the head office with documents.

IESL posts examination notices on its announcements feed; for example, a B Paper Examination March 2026 passed candidates list was published on 2026-07-09. Watch that feed and the events calendar, since committee registrations for the 2026/27 session open on 2026-11-10 at 12:00 PM.
