My friend -
1. there is no option to select two or more when filling out express entry profile.
2. You need to add each credential and select appropriate level of education. For diploma that says secondary, you need to select Secondary.
3. After that, you need to add bachelor as another credential and select level of education as University/whatever.

You will then get points for a single bachelor - system automatically calculates based on the credentials you list. Now, if you list your first credential as post-secondary, it will get counted as two or more but when the time comes for review by IRCC, they are going to reject your application. Want to know the reason? Its because your friggin report says the level of you credential is secondary!!
Do not give wrong information..

1 He needs to select "Two-year degree, diploma or certificate from a program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute" for Diploma.
2. After than, He needs to select " Bachelor’s degree or other programs (three or more years) at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute"

Then If he is not married, He will be given 128 points. If He is married, Then he will be given 119 points.

The mere fact that you dont know there no such thing as 'selecting' two or more degrees illustrates you know nothing about the process.

What is the difficulty in understanding that the credential needs to be a post-secondary one?

Nevermind - go ahead and apply to find out because I dont think you understand.

Not only you are spectacularly failing at comprehending what's written, you also seem to have now started calling out on people who are merely pointing out facts. Do us all a favor and read what's written on the CIC website & stop posting -

If you send your documents to IQAS. It will give a Post secondary diploma credential for 3 years indian diploma. If you have leteral entry in B.Tech. Then It will give a four years bachelor. Less points will be given to a post secondary diploma then Diploma(2years).

If you sent the indian 3 years diploma and leteral entry 3 years bachelors to IQAS. It will give a credential report as post secondary diploma and 4 years bachelors. Wes gives a credential as Diploma 2 years and 4 years bachelors. In fact. For Diploma 2 years will be given 98 crs points. For a post secondary diploma will be given 90 crs points.

Do not trust this link. It is wrong. The link only says post secondary.

Seems like you guys having confusion regarding the points you would be entitled. To assure you all I am sharing my post from another thread-

You will receive points for "Two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees, one must be a program of 3 or more years". Both of your credentials must be from "Recognized Institution". Please check your report.

To understand the whole "two or more degree' equivalency please refer to this post by @Maverick28
https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/two-or-more-certificates-degrees-or-diploma-lets-get-it-sorted.560332/#post-6996995

To check your credential's Level of Education, please go to this site-
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/education-assessed/read-report.html

Now for your specific query I am going to demonstrate how enter your credential correctly in EE profile-

For "Come to Canada Tool" please select level of education as "Two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees, one must be a program of 3 or more years"

Now, I am showing you how to enter details of your credentials in Express Entry Profile. After you enter both credentials and submit the profile, system will count your points automatically and award you points for "two or more degree'.

You will have following questions to answer in your EE profile to add your Diploma-

Name of the credential: name of the diploma
Institute name: should be awarding university name (not the college name, check ECA report)
Start Date: diploma start date
is it your current study? answer NO
End Date: diploma end date(usually last day of exam)
Completed Academic years: calculate duration (should be 2 year)
Level of education: 2 years program...
Have you completed Canadian degree during this time? answer NO
have you got ECA? answer YES
which organization: I guess WES
reference number: WES ref no (it ends with 'IMM')
ECA report Date: Eca completion date (check report)
Level of Education as per the ECA: 2 years program

Click Save and Add, it will show at the bottom of the page, you can add your bachelors after.

You will have following questions to answer in your EE profile to add your Bachelors-

Name of the credential: name of the bachelors
Institute name: should be awarding university name (not the college name, check ECA report)
Start Date: degree start date
is it your current study? answer NO
End Date: degree end date(usually last day of exam)
Completed Academic years: 3 years (normal degree duration)
Level of education: Bachelors OR three or more years program
Have you completed Canadian degree during this time? answer NO
have you got ECA? answer YES
which organization: I guess WES
reference number: WES ref no (it ends with 'IMM')
ECA report Date: Eca completion date (check report)
Level of Education as per the ECA: Bachelors OR three or more years program

Hope it helps. Good Luck!
Mate, the information in the link to minstriel instructions and what you are saying is contradictory. You can not select level of education as two year post secondary diploma. The level of education needs to be equivalent of a Secondary credential.

According to that link, If You have done 3 years Indian diploma. when you have your education evaluated by wes. It will give a credential report as Diploma 2 years. What will you select for this report? Even there is no option to the bachelors also. It only says post-secondary.

Hi Karuna,

You are right.. individual equivalency of msbte diploma is two or more years of education and not secondary school education... Thus, that person get's eligible for two or more degrees if he has secured his bachelor's degree.

And while one start to apply for EE, There are series of questions which are asked, and one particular is about education - just highligthing, it really doesn't matter what you select in that field, i.e. bachelor's or two or more anything... However your information in actual dashboard of ee where you select proper individual equivalency matter most *just select two years education for diploma and bachelor's for your degree and you are done*

Hi, I am quite confused after going through this discussion. I would seek guidance as I got my WES evaluation which says:
“Diloma (2 years) & bachelor’s degree (three years)”
My education:

2 years secondary education (canadian equivalency: Secondary School Diploma)
2 years bachelors in commerce (canadian equivalence: Diploma-2 years, recognized institution)
2 years MBA: Bachrelor’s Degree - 3 years, recognized institution
I have entered first one as secondary school diploma, 2 years bachelor as diploma 2 years and MBA as bachelor’s degree 3 years.
Would be kind of you guys if you can please guide, thanks.

Hi All,

I have completed Diploma in Computer Engineering from M.S.B.T.E which is 3 years of course in india and after that i have secured Bachelor of Science - IT (got later entry directly to second year because of my diploma) from Mumbai University.

So my question is, how is WES going to evaluate my score, am i elegible for 2 of more certificate, degrees or diploma. Please help!
I have the same situation like you. Do you have any update? Did you qualify "two or more certificate" on EE application and what is your current status?

WES evaluates your diploma and lateral entry b.tech as Diploma(Two years) and Bachelors degree(4years) which are equal to two or more degree in express entry. Someone got his PR visa with the same education.
