Only the Institution of Engineers, Sri Lanka (IESL) registers its Corporate Members as Chartered Engineer based on their selection criteria and peer-reviewed process.
Chartered Engineers are entitled to use the suffix, CEng (Sri Lanka) after names.
The process of selecting Chartered Engineers have been criticized, due to only IESL having the authority to award the designation and sole discretion to determine the selection criteria.
In 2010, it discontinued the mature entry route for non-degree holding applicants to apply for Chartered Engineer designation.
Ltd., forcing non-degree holding applicants to undertake its fee levied IESL College courses to gain IESL membership.
