Hi All,

I received my ECA report from CES today and the Canadian equivalency has been mentioned as shown below -



Can you please clarify if I can claim points for Masters equivalency based on this report?

Thank you!

Hi,
I did my UG at Anna univ and MBA at univ depts of MADRAS.
Since WES doesn't consider my MBA as masters, I'm planning to go for CES Or IQAS. Ive got my transcripts from both orgs.
I get some decent score only if I chose "masters" in crs calculator. I'm sure I need to get my PG accessed. But is it necessary for me to get my UG accessed?
If only masters is enough, which is faster? CES OR IQAS.
Pls let me know the process too.

Awaiting your reply.

Hello,
I have the following questions :
1. I've done MCA from UPTU, which institute is best to go for so that it will be considered as "Masters" degree. I am worried by seeing WES response for MBA.

2. My wife is an MBA, should I get her ECA done as well to get the advantage of Masters' score in CSR or as a secondary applicant, ECA is not required for her?. Due to age, our points are just decent. So, we are struggling for every single point.

Thanks In Advance!

CES is definitely faster than IQAS. CES takes around 3 months whereas IQAS takes 6 months

Getting UG assessed is not mandatory. I did it because I was not sure if CES would give me Master's equivalency for MBA and hence got my UG also evaluated to be on the safer side

I'm sure that IQAS considers MBA from Madras univ as a two year program where WES doesn't . Even CES considers it as a two year program? If yes, then it should be absolutely be fine for me to go with CES considering the time taken compared to IQAS.

Hello everyone,
You all must have heard people recommending to get ECA done from WES (World Education Services), especially in India. But if you have studies MBA from India, do not opt for WES. They will give it a Canadian equivalency of - 'One year Post graduate diploma' instead of 'Master's degree'.

I have studied MBA fron Nirma University, Gujarat. When I got my ECA done, I was awarded One year PG diploma equivalency. I raised a query as I had 2 years of full-time management degree, they responded that WES only gives Master's equivalency to MBA done from IIMs or IITs.

So please opt for University of Toronto for ECA, it may be a little costly, and takes 2 weeks more than WES, but it will give you more accurate equivalency. But if you have studied MBA from IIMs & IITs, you can opt for WES.

PS: WES takes 6 weeks to process an application, after it receives your documents in hard copy.

One year Post graduate diploma' instead of 'Master's degree'------ due to this how many points do we loose in crs score.

If awarded One year Post graduate diploma by Wes then on crs tool what should we select (Two or more degree or one year degree at University).

In my case I completed 4 years full time btech and 2 years MBA in distance from Andhra University(recognised by Wes)
