yes yes yes.

I got my M.S Software Systems from BITS Pilani (Distance/WILP) equivalency as 'Master Degree' by WES.

Happy to see that a distance learning program gave such a huge benefit. :)

Yes, it is considered as Master's degree.
I got my WILP MS in S/w Engineering degree evaluated by WES and the Canadian Equivalency is "Master's Degree".

When did you get this evaluation done? Was it done recently?

WES equivalency tool will not show it as equivalent to masters if you are selecting only masters of science, if you enter both your degrees, then it'll show masters.

In any case, don't bother about the online tool.

Just pay the WES fees, and send the application to BITS campus, they'll send the application along with transcripts to WES.

Hi,

I have a dual degree - masters in maths + masters in finance (5 year program) from BITS Pilani.

Can someone please suggest:
1) What is the equivalent qualifications I can expect on my WES report?
2) While filling out the WES report, should I add two credentials with same time period (for example 2001 to 2006) for both degrees?

Thanks indian_user25!

One quick query: I spoke with the WILP officials and they mentioned only transcripts will be given and not provisional degree certificate as required by WES.

Can we include a notarized copy of the degree certificate in the application sent to WES? How did you do it?

Kindly suggest. Thanks for your quick response.

Hi,

Can anyone please let me know the equivalent for MS from BITS obtained through distance education.
Will it be a master degree or bachelors.

Thanks in advance,
Brenna
Distance education is not considered for EXpress entry points.
It clearly states the study period shoudl be full time.

Hi ,

Can you please let me know the process to evaluate MS (WLPD) . Submit the WES application and after that ?
Fill the WES form, get a reference number, check BITS site WLPD, there will be a link for transcripts request. Fill out the form and send the request to BITS, they'll send the application to WES
