Hello experts and generous people out there, Please help to present my educational credentials accurately in EE profile.

1) In EE profile what will be the educational institute name? ECA mentioned awarding Institute name, should I put that?

2) I have done 2 years BTEC Higher National Diploma from Edexcel, UK then got directly entry into the final year of BSc program at my University, Its called Top Up degree in UK. My BSc transcript says I was given "prior learning" credits for 1st & 2nd Year and studied final year credits. It did not relate my diploma with BSc rather mentioned "prior learning credits". So all together I have achieved enough credits for 3 years bachelors program.
In EE profile for my BSc degree, completed academic year question, what should I answer? 3 years or 1 year?
My ECA mentions both credentials separately- "Diploma (two years) and Bachelors degree (four years)".

Now let me tell you what I have done-

For diploma-
1. Duration: March, 2009 to September, 2010
2. Completed academic year- 2 years
3. Level of education according to ECA- "Two-year degree, diploma or certificate from a program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute"

For BSc Degree-
1. Duration: Feb, 2012 to July, 2013
2. Completed academic year- 3 years (one year top up + 1st&2nd year exempted credits)
3. Level of education according to ECA- "Bachelor’s degree or other programs (three or more years) at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute"

So level of education according to ECA I've selected as per ECA 2years & 4years respectively.

For completed academic year question, I have put my diploma as 2 years program and BSc as 3 year program but still got points for "two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees one must be three or more years long."

Interestingly, even if I put 1 year for BSc as completed academic year but level of education- bachelors degree as per ECA my point stays same. I have achieved clb 9 in IELTS, my CRS is 434.

Am I correctly presenting my credentials? Please help.
