This study investigated the relationship between academic performance in CELE-related subjects and CELE performance among Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) students at Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology (NEUST). A quantitative research design employing correlation analysis was utilized. The sample consisted of 322 random BSCE students who had taken CELE in the last five exam dates. The results revealed a significant positive correlation between students' performance in their Mathematics, Surveying, and Transportation Engineering (MSTE) and Structural Engineering and Construction (SEC) subjects during their BSCE program and their corresponding achievements on the PRC board exam. However, no significant correlation emerged between students' performance in their Hydraulics and Geotechnical Engineering (HGE) subjects during their BSCE program and their performance on the corresponding section of the PRC board exam. Additionally, the results indicated a significant positive correlation between students' weighted GPAs during their BSCE program and their performance on the PRC board exam.These findings suggest that strong academic performance in CELE-related subjects is associated with success on the CELE, highlighting the importance of a well-aligned curriculum and educational strategies. However, further research is needed to explore causative factors and provide a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamics influencing CELE performance.
