Batangas State University, The National Engineering University (BatStateU The NEU), has been officially recognized as a ‘Tier 1 Institution’ under the Philippine Technological Council (PTC) Tier Classification System (TCS)—a prestigious distinction granted to institutions that demonstrate robust capacity across three key criteria: national/regional impact, leadership and governance, and quality assurance systems for engineering programs.
This recognition follows the successful assessment of the University’s Self-Tiering Assessment Report (STAR) under the PTC Certification and Accreditation System for Engineering Education (CASEE). As a Tier 1 institution, BatStateU’s accredited engineering programs are now granted international recognition under the Washington Accord—a global agreement among engineering bodies that upholds substantial equivalency of accreditation systems and qualifications.
Furthermore, these programs will be listed in the registry of the Federation of Engineering Institutions of Asia and the Pacific (FEIAP), affirming the University’s commitment to international quality benchmarks in engineering education.
The PTC, as the umbrella organization of professional engineering institutions in the Philippines, represents the country in international accords such as the Washington Accord, helping raise the standards of engineering education nationwide.
This milestone underscores BatStateU The NEU’s steadfast pursuit of excellence, global competitiveness, and transformative impact as the Philippines’ National Engineering University.
