I applied for evaluation with my degree and mark sheet of
1. Bachelor of science
2. Bachelor of education
3. Master of arts in English
And to my surprise west gave me result as bachelor three year and bachelor four year.
They did not mentioned my masters degree.

This isn't unusual. WES determines the equivalency of your education based on Canadian standards. It's quite common not to get credit for a Masters. In Canada, a bachelor degree is four years and a Master's is 1-2 years. If both of your bachelor degrees were three years and your masters was 1 year, then it makes sense how WES has evaluated your education based on Canadian standards.

Thanks for your response
Yes you are correct but in India also I have done Bachelor of science in three years, Bachelor of education in one year and Masters in two year.
I fault to understand why they did so

It actually does make sense.

Again, it's not based on how the education is assessed in India, but in Canada.

There's no such thing as a one year Bachelor degree in Canada. Bachelor degree is almost always four years (although in some cases 3 years is possible). WES took your Bachelor of Education and your Masters and determine that these two degrees together are the equivalent of a Bachelor degree in Canada. This makes sense from a Canadian perspective since you only studied three years total to get these two degrees. That would never happen in Canada - ever.

You can try having your degree evaluated by another assessment agencies if you want to try to get a different result.
