UPDA certification-request for information have recently done this

and obtained a Grade A in Civil Eng. and would like to share my

experience for the benefit of all engineers who are interested to
know this. Qatar UPDA Registration procedure.
1) You shall be a graduate engineer obtaining the degree from a
University or Institution listed in MMUP (B-Tech is accepted now
2) If your university/ institution is not listed you can approach
Qatar Job Qualification center on C- Ring Road near Gulf Cinema
3) You should have your degree certificate attested by Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, Qatar (QR 10/- per certificate by card payment)
before for which you require Notary, HR, Qatar Embassy (India)
attestation etc. from India (better to go through some attestation
center - they charge QR 400 - 500 per certificate)
4) Any experience certificate other than from Qatar has to
be attested by Ministry of Foreign affairs, Qatar for which you
have to follow the attestation procedure as explained in item 3
5) You have to obtain a PCC from Indian Embassy - Qatar and
this also to be attested in MFA
6) Once you have your attested certificates and experience
certificates and PCC you can go to MMUP Ground Floor (Opposite
City Centre) and show in Counter (last one) - Only on Monday and
Thursday.
7) They will issue a letter to Qatar CID (on Salwa Road) and
you have to go there with this letter and PCC, fill an application
form and submit there for their Police Clearance which you will
get within 2 weeks time.
8) Once you get this you have to fill the application MMUP forms,
either in Arabic or English ( I have attached them as new form
1&2) and submit along with your CV (showing qualifications, job
summary, certifications etc.), the srcinal certificates, mark list,
experience certificates, PCC, ID copy, PP copy, copy of other
certificates etc., one photograph with copies of all the documents

(1 set) and a CD containing all the scanned copies of all these

documents (refer attachment PEC docs required)
9) These documents are to be submitted in a file (better to put in
plastic folders and then file it)
10) They will verify the documents and will accept it everything is
okay, or will comment to rectify. They will keep all the documents
and will return them only on the day of exam (after exam).
11) Once the application is accepted, they will give a date for the
exam over phone (on Wednesdays only)
12) The exam is computer based (Multiple choice) and will
have 25 question to be answered in 1 hr.
13) There is no syllabus available, few questions will be general
and balance technical.
14) There is no idea on the minimum mark. May be they combine
mark + experience+ certificates etc.
15) You will know the result on the same day and will get
the srcinal certificates back.
16) You have to take oath, pay the fee and collect the Grade
certificate (valid for two years) Hope I could give you some
idea on the process. If any more clarification is required, I would
be very much happy to share with all. Best of Luck to all
