Anyone with Successful Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) of SCDL

[Deepanjali singh]

Hi all

It’s good to read that some of u got SCDL degree recognised. Congrats for that.

I did MDIT Masters Diploma in International Trade from SIMS which was under SCDL during 2003. I checked on SCDL website , they are UGC approved from 1995 onwards. but everywhere it only talks about PG.. in their certificate of UGC. Not MD.. (masters Diploma ). When I called up SCDL last week the guy said it’s same thing. Did any one of also face same thing of Masters degree from SIMS and got it recognised from IQAS??
Pl advice.

Hey did u get ur SIMS evaluated from IQAS? What was the result. Pls can u share

So even IQAS didn’t validate it

Hi, was your assessment of SCDL PGDBA successful? I also have done my PGDBA from SCDL 2004-2006 and am applying to IQAS. Thanks Bhupesh 8373902311

Hello All,

Its great to see that all SCDL students getting values for their degrees. I have also done PGDBA (finance) having an academic year 2016-20.

So, its better I should opt for IQAS and not WES.

1. I have done BBA from Calcutta University and PGDBA from SCDL, so do I need to get both the degrees assessed for ECA?

2. If both has to be assessed that do I need to request Calcutta University for transcripts as well SCDL also for PGDBA?

Please suggest and let me know what be the best ways for ECA so that my SCDL diploma is also validated as my Post Graduation.

Thanks in advance.

I had emailed my queries today to WES, ICAS and IQAS regarding SCDL and I got the following replies -


1. ICAS -

Thank you for your enquiry.

For postsecondary study completed in India, ICAS will provide an assessment for the following:

• Qualifications awarded by institutions which were formally recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC) at the time of admission (and that the university was compliant with all UGC regulations with regard to program delivery). Please note that for State Private Universities, the institution must have been recognized by the UGC following a favourable inspection.

• Programs recognized by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) at the time of admission

• Distance education programs recognized by the Distance Education Council (DEC) or UGC at the time of your admission

• Qualifications awarded by State Boards of Technical Education


Please note that, at this time, ICAS is not providing assessments for study completed at stand-alone institutions such as SCDL.

ICAS does not provide pre-assessments by e-mail. As you can understand, the fee for the assessment is not for the physical piece of paper, but rather for the research required to prepare the report.

If you are unsure whether the program you completed satisfies the above requirement, we would suggest that you contact the bodies listed above or confirm this information with your institution. If you believe that your program would be one for which ICAS can provide a meaningful assessment, we would be pleased to assist you, but we require a completed application and all required documentation to do so.


2. IQAS -

Hello,

Thank you for your question. If the response is provided below, we will not respond to your email.

If you need an ECA for immigration, do not apply for IQAS assessment for employment, education or licensure, as Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and Provincial Nominee Programs will not accept this assessment.

IQAS assesses credentials earned through formal academic education from accredited educational institutions. IQAS does not assess:

• Anything below the secondary/high school level (e.g. Primary/elementary level)
• Non-academic credentials and short courses (e.g. Excel training)
• Professional qualifications (e.g. Chartered accountant designation such as ACCA)
• Vocational or trades training (e.g. Diesel mechanics program)
• Sikkim Manipal University Distance Education
• Credentials obtained in Canada

IQAS cannot tell you if your application will be accepted, or if your education will be recognized before receiving and assessing your application. All required application materials must be carefully reviewed, researched and verified prior to a decision

Ok thanks let's hope for the best. As I read somewhere that from 2018 it wasn't recognized as a UGC certified instead it was converted to standalone university.

Hi Preetsingh,
IQAS evaluate as University Diploma, while filling your application you need to choose Two or more certificates (Graduation + PDGBA(SCDL)).

Don't worry, IQAS recognize SCDL and evaluate as University Diploma.

Hi Preetsingh,

Okay, but Since IQAS looks for a Master - I have to get it done with my PGDBA only, and one more reason my university has an issue so they cant issue transcripts, unfortunately :-( of my B.Tech. So I am a bit confused actually - which one to select.

 

[karma0512]

I sent my SCDL PGDBA (2015-2017) to ICAS somewhere in March 2020 and they decided not to evaluate my Diploma, saying they are in the process of reviewing how to assess standalone institutions from India.
Hope this helps someone
