This is to express my point of view. It's not to hurt anybody's feelings. If I am wrong, anyone is welcome to present their own counter arguments.
Well... Software Developers or Programmers cannot be really be classified as Engineers. All this started in the USA with CNE & MCSE. Honestly in my experience most of the MCSEs cannot find their way out of a paper bag. Forget calling them engineers. That came out of the US terminology - the guy who pumps fuel is pump engineer. Sometimes I wonder why they didn't call somebody using a set of spanners as a Mechanical Engineer.
But Software Engineering does exist. Many universities offer this as a BSc Degree Program under their Faculty of Engineering. People who completed such an accredited program should be considered as engineers. I hope IESL has some sort of recognition for them. There should be some evaluation or assessment criteria, based on the course they did and their experience.
Personally I would not call someone doing web development, Database development & administration, or Mobile App developers as software engineers.
But there are embedded system developers, Robotics, Real time data acquisition and instrumentation system developers, kernel developers etc, whom you can classify as Software Engineers. But the fact is most of these people do possess an Engineering degree. Engineers do code and design software. Just because Engineers can program does not mean all programmers can be called Engineers.![]()
what about the Computer Science students (B.Sc.) who come out from State/Pvt universities. I'm talking about 4 year degree programs (eg: ucsc)

because even if you don't have 2C+S you can get the membership. IESL has there own exam until 2020 and open uni has foundation etc. And also they accept London A/L So it's not a big deal even someone doesn't have the A/L. It's just stupid
