I did my Diploma(3 years) and B.E.(lateral entry 3 years).
Below is my WES report:

CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY Diploma (two years) and bachelor's degree (four years)

Diploma:
Credential authentication: Documents were sent directly by the institution
Country or Territory: India Credential: Diploma in Electronics and Communication Engineering
Year: 2009
Awarded by: Board of Technical Examinations, Government of Karnataka
Status: Recognized Institution
Major: Electronics and Communication Engineering
Canadian equivalency: Secondary school diploma and diploma (two years)

B.E
Credential authentication: Documents were sent directly by the institution
Country or Territory: India Credential: Bachelor of Engineering
Year: 2012
Awarded by: Visvesvaraya Technological University
Status: Recognized Institution
Major: Electronics and Communication Engineering
Canadian equivalency: Bachelor's degree (four years)

My question is, What should I choose in "level of education" and "Level of education (Canadian equivalent) shown on Education Credential Assessment (ECA) "while creating express entry profile for both the credentials?
For B.E , I think it should be "Bachelor's Degree" , but I am confused what should be for Diploma?

What do I choose as level of education for Diploma in express entry profile? Should it be 2 year program or 3 year program or secondary Diploma(high school graduation)?

You have a 4 year degree equivalency. The other is secondary diploma and diploma and is not counted as post secondary.

1)None or less than secondary
2)Secondary diploma(high school graduation)
3)one year program at a university,college,trade or technical school, or other institute?
4)Two year program at a university,college,trade or technical school, or other institute?

Hey I have same concern, Like when we do that after that their is start date and end date to choose as I diploma 3 years and degree three years. So I will have start date and end date according to it but after that there is question of how many years you have studies so what should I mentioned in bachelor and diploma 3 and 3 or according to wes which is 4 years for bachelors and 2 years for diploma.
Thanks

Wes states for Diploma as ( Secondary school diploma and diploma (two years)) and bachelors 4 years
So you count the bachelors. The other is a secondary diploma so you can’t count “two or more” because it must be at the post secondary level.
