Hey guys, need your advice. I'm holding two post graduate diploma certificates, one year duration each, pursued through distance mode from WES recognized universities. I'm also holding a bachelor degree of 4 years duration, pursued through regular mode. Could anyone advise whether WES will consider my certificates as 'two or more certificates....'? Many thanks!
Did you get it assessed...??

I checked it from ICAS they said any Distance program approve by UGC will be approved. Whats your view
Don’t know about ICAS but WES approves only programs of Universities or institutions which are UGC affiliated. Wherein SCDL is a actually registered under a society which is not affiliated by UGC. Moreover UGC has only approved SCDL programs, which are only accepted by indian universities and institutions.

Hi All,

Need your suggestions here. I did my BA. Eco Hons( 3 yrs) frm Delhi University and M.A Eco from Himachal University( 2 yrs) but have only been awarded bachelor's degree for both. I am really confused as to why they have awarded just a bachelor's equivalent to me.

Is there a way we can contest the result. Can WES reconsider my case. They have though recognized Himachal University.

Please advise.

Hi there,
I completed my B.Sc. Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) and Executive MBA from Institute of Business Administration at University of Dhaka. I have just received the ECA update on my WES account and it states the Canadian equivalent of my two degrees as follows:

- Bachelors Degree (Four Years)
- Executive Master of Business Administration

So, what should I presume from here. Is it confirmed that my MBA is accepted as Masters Degree? Please share your experiences.

Hi Parmeet,
I am currently residing in Canada. I was looking into these online degrees or the distant learning programs.I am very much confused on what WES is going to verify. So i thought of asking you since you did a distant learning program from DU. I did a diploma program over here, I wanted to do a degree and get verified by WES and make it valid here. Could you please advice!!!

Thank you

As per my research, only ACCA membership and OBU are enough to get points for two bachelors. I have sent only ACCA membership certificate and OBU Degree copy to WES for evaluation. Let's see what it comes.

I don't think it would make any difference to the score since you are already claiming the points for a master's degree

Thank you for your reply, I was wondering I would be able to claim masters equivalency on the basis of my Masters but that seems very unlikely though!
