Quick answer: When is the Electrical Engineering board exam in 2027?
PRC has not yet released its 2027 exam calendar. It’s expected around mid-November 2026. The Registered Electrical Engineers Licensure Examination (REE or REELE) is held twice a year. In 2026 it was on April 21–22 and September 5–6. If 2027 follows the same pattern, expect the first exam around April 2027, with LERIS filing opening around late January 2027.
Graduating from BS Electrical Engineering, or planning a retake? Here’s the expected 2027 REE schedule, how filing works, the three subject groups and their weights, the passing rule, and the latest official results.

REE Subjects and Weights
The exam runs over two days. Under RA 7920 (the New Electrical Engineering Law), it covers three subject groups:
| Subject group | Weight | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | 25% | Algebra, trigonometry, geometry, calculus, differential equations, probability and statistics |
| Engineering Sciences and Allied Subjects | 30% | Physics, chemistry, mechanics, thermodynamics, engineering economy, computer fundamentals, safety and engineering laws |
| Electrical Engineering Professional Subjects | 45% | AC and DC circuits and machinery, power systems, electronics, illumination, wiring design, and the Philippine Electrical Code |
Passing rule: you need a general weighted average of at least 70%, with no subject group below 50%. Professional Subjects carry nearly half the rating, so build your review around them. Check PRC’s official Program of Examination for your cycle’s day-by-day order.
REE Passing Rates
| Exam | Passers | Examinees | Passing rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| April 2026 | 3,769 | 6,556 | 57.49% |
| September 2026 | 1,676 | 3,399 | 49.31% |
The April sitting was almost twice as large as September in 2026, and it had the higher passing rate.
Registered Master Electrician: The Related Exam
The Board of Electrical Engineering also gives the Registered Master Electricians (RME) exam, held right after the REE in each cycle (April 23 and September 7 in 2026). In 2026, 493 of 882 passed in April and 715 of 961 passed in September. It’s a separate license with its own requirements.
