BEE - Bureau of Energy Efficiency Entrance Exam

BEE Entrance Exam 2014 - Bureau of Energy Efficiency Entrance Exam for

the post of Energy Managers and Energy Auditors is taken by the National

Productivity Council (NPC) on behalf Bureau of Energy Efficiency, a

statutory body- under the Ministry of Power, Government of India. It is

one of the most known Engineering Entrance Exams in India.

The Bureau was established in order to produce high cadre Energy

Managers along with Auditors that hold incredible expertise within the

energy management, implementation and financing of the energy projects, along with

different kind of policy analysis.

In this national level certificate examination candidates have to get a minimum of 50% marks

in all the papers they appear for in the certificate examination.

Note: Only candidates with experience involving usage of energy can apply for it.

BEE Entrance Exam importance: The passing of the National level certification examination

is the qualification for an energy manager to be appointed or designated as Certified Energy

Manager. For accreditation of energy auditors, certification of energy auditor may be one of

the prerequisites besides other criterions before an energy auditor is considered for

accreditation. It will be the accredited energy auditor who will be allowed to undertake the

mandatory energy audit under the Energy Conservation Act 2001 and not the certified

energy auditor.
