About CIEW

Council for IT Engineers Welfare (CIEW) is an industry-led initiative to professionalize, verify and support IT engineers across India. We provide a national registry, verified profiles, employability programs, and welfare assistance for fresher and experienced IT engineers at all career stages.

Why CIEW?

Most professions have councils (BCI, NMC, ICAI). IT engineers need an equivalent professional identity.
Companies spend heavily on background checks; a verified central registry saves cost and time while improving hiring accuracy.
CIEW protects engineers with verification, governance, welfare and national-level recognition.

Founding Principles

Identity first: professional, candidate-centric unique CIEW ID
Integrity: multi-layer verification to ensure authenticity
Inclusivity: campus-first, institute partners and volunteer contributors
Sustainability: membership, assessments, corporate API and partner programs

Verification Workflow

CIEW verification is a three-layer process designed to be fraud-proof and scalable for fresher and experienced IT engineers.

Step 1 — Basic Registration

A fresher or experienced IT engineer creates a free CIEW profile. A unique CIEW ID is generated and used for all future verifications.

Step 2 — Offline Center: Physical Document Check

Engineer visits an authorized verification center (local computer institute). Operator checks original documents (10th, 12th, graduation), selfie with documents and uploads scans. Center marks 'Physically Verified'.

Step 3 — Online Verification (DigiLocker / Board APIs)

CIEW attempts automated verification via DigiLocker and board/university APIs. If match found → Auto‑verified.

Step 4 — College/School Portal

If automated verification fails, a verification request is sent to the school/college dashboard. Authorized school admin logs in, sees pending verifications and approves or rejects. Final status is updated.

Step 5 — Finalize & Badge

When the profile has physical + digital + institutional confirmations, the CIEW Verified badge is issued along with a QR-enabled verification report for employers. Companies request access via candidate-consent OTP.

Anti-duplication & Identity

CIEW uses Mobile + Email + DOB (+ optional Aadhaar) as composite key. Duplicate detection runs at upload; OTP verification by candidate locks the profile. Institutes cannot create duplicate IDs.
