Hi All,

I am about to completed IIITB PGD program by June and want to proceed for M.Sc program from LJUM, which is add on top on PGD course.

I want to know if anyone have send the LJMU's M.Sc. degree to WES for evaluation. If yes. I have two question
  1. Do WES consider LJMU Master from Upgrad equivalent to Canada's Master. As I heard MBA from India is equivalent to Canada's PGD.
  2. Did we need to send both the degrees for evalaution as it would need two transcripts one from IIITB and other from LJMU or just LJMU transcript is enough.
Anyone who would be in same boat like me can try to reach me at Linkedin @ https://www.linkedin.com/in/udittrawat/

Hi,
As per the recent scenario, Canada invites skilled applicants with a minimum 440 CRS score for the Canadian Experience class. You score are quite looking low to get an invitation to apply (ITA). Moreover, to boost the scores, you are suggested to obtain a degree for at least one year as WES doesn’t consider maters for 11 months duration. Alternatively, there are also other ways to increase scores like reattempt IELTS, get a job offer letter (LMIA approved), increase your professional experience and so on.
Hope, you understand!

I checked with Upgrad and they are saying that the data science course will have only 24 credits from this year and still valid for WES.
Can someone confirm whether 24 credit is enough to get 1 year PGDM from WES ?

Can someone answer this, I have the same query,
My degree BscIT from Mumbai University is already evaluated.
I am CLB-9 in IELTS.
I have 9 years of experience in IT as a software developer.
But my score is still low, which is 427.

I am planning to go for UpGrads's Masters degree in Computer Science (AI) which is of the duration 18 months. I want to know what WES will evaluate this to, and how much points will I get after successful evaluation.

Hi Udit, here are answers to your queries:

1) LJMU Masters is considered as equivalent to Canadian Masters and accepted by WES.
2) The learner only needs to send one transcript to WES i.e from LJMU

Hi,

Did anyone get their credentials, iiit-b upgrad (PGD-ML,AI) evaluated from WES? Are they considering these?

I got to know that they(iiit B) shall send certificate and transcript. Not sure about certificate that says this course is approved by such bodies as UGC or AICTE...(not sure if this is required).
Click to expand...
Hi Sairam, IIIT-B is an AICTE approved University
https://www.iiitb.ac.in/aicte-mandatory-disclosure
Since, it is approved and the details are on the website, the certificate won't specify that explicitly.

Hello to all in this thread. While applying to the express entry program, if the IIIT degree gets wes certified, can we include it along with our work experience during the same time? I mean would there be any conflict if i show my work ex from 2018 till present and diploma degree which i got in march 2019? I'm not really sure how that would work.
