Does Post Graduate Diploma course from IIIT banglore & Upgrad considered for Canada PR.

[RaviNarni]

Currently My CRS score is 432, to increase the points I am planning to Post Graduate diploma course from IIIT Bangalore (Upgrad). Does anyone know whether this course is a valid option and it will increase our points. This course of 11 months duration.
Does WES approves this course as masters?

It says if the course is UGC approved it's applicable. Since the university is UGC approved and the course is given directly by the University it's also UGC approved. So I joined the course. Im assuming it will be of use.

Hey guys, let's keep this thread alive. I signed up for the program as well this July. The BIG downside is that IIIT Bangalore will not send any transcripts, only the certificate to WES. Either a transcript or a research thesis are required in addition to the certificate so I'm not sure how all of this will play out. Let's hope for the best, do post here if you find out more.

I enquired with upgrad. They told that IIITB provide transcript.
@kashifsami Did you enquired from IIITB(as i didn't do it from there.Will try enquiring from there as well if you haven't)

@ankitagr2312 - An Upgrad counsellor had cleared informed me on an email that there's no transcript, only a certificate. Only their master's program would get you a transcript. I haven't checked with IIITB though.

Let me check again with the student mentor now that I'm enrolled. A friend of mine is about to finish the course in December so I'll know more once he's done.

@ankitagr2312 : Did you enroll yet?

 

[ankitagr2312]

@kashifsami: I did ask my student mentor. She told on mail that you will be getting a transcript.
I enrolled in August.
