This maintains UPLB’s exemplary performance in the said board exam. For its past 10 editions, UPLB recorded three 100% passing rates and five top performing school distinctions. 

A top performing school is one that gained at least 80% passing rate from its 50 or more examinees.

The Professional Regulation Commission administers the civil engineering board exam twice a year, usually in May and November.

The national passing rate is 43.18%, with 6,510 passers out of 15,075 takers. (Mark Jayson E. Gloria, with information from www.prc.gov.ph)
