General Description

The PHIL-IT GCE may be considered as an overall evaluation of the graduate's level of cognitive, psychomotor, and affective learning as specified in B.S. Computer Science; B.S. Computer Engineering; B.S. Information technology; and, B.S. Information Management curricula, as well as the graduate's knowledge, skills, and attitudes pertinent to advanced or latest trends in IT as required by industry.

The PHIL-IT GCE consists of a cluster of "generic examinations" that likewise assesses the graduate's overall readiness to become a preofessional in both IT subjects and non-IT subjects.

In a way, the PHIL-IT GCE serves as an interim solution for the need for a board examination, testing the IT skills of Filipino would-be prefessionals, with IT skills set by Filipino IT prefessionals, yet understanding international industry benchmarks.
