IITPSA Professional Regrading Form

  • You should note the following important information:--Admission to the grade / status of Professional Member is only available to existing members of the IITPSA who have been a member in good standing for at least two years. Regrading / recognition is based on a points system and you need to achieve 135 points to be considered for an upgrade. Please provide as much information as possible to enable the Membership Committee to adequately and fairly assess your application. Certified copies of Certificates and Transcripts supporting claims of academic achievement must be provided, unless previously supplied to the IITPSA. Please refer to the Notes provided. These are referred to in the various sections.
