Ceneval, the National Center for the Evaluation of Higher Education, gives the EGEL, a general exam for graduates of a degree program. It assesses whether graduates have “los conocimientos y las habilidades necesarios para iniciarse eficazmente en el ejercicio de la profesión” (the knowledge and skills needed to begin practicing the profession effectively). (Video in Spanish.)
In Ceneval’s report on the exam in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering for 2021, 34.8 percent of the 979 graduates tested reached a satisfactory level and 11.4 percent an outstanding one.
