WES has evaluated my masters degree as equivalent to Canadian masters... Which is good.

However, they have written my masters program length as 1 yr, which in reality was 2 yrs.

Nonetheless, wes has credited my degree as masters. Shall I ask them to correct the program length to 2 yrs?

Also in background form: what shall I put? Actual - 6 yrs? 4 yrs of bachelors and 2 yrs of masters....

Or what my WES has evaluated my degree as? 5 yrs? 4 yrs of bachelors and 1 yr of masters?

I wouldn't bother asking for a correction. WES evaluates and gives a Canadian equivalent which is not necessarily the same as what you actually did. For example some countries secondary school could be anywhere from 4-7 years, it will be evaluated by WES to be Canadian secondary school equivalent no matter how long it actually was.

For the number of years of education on your forms, you should enter the amount of time you actually attended, no matter what WES says.

Good luck!

hi,

i am from INDIA and new here. would like a piece of advise from seniors

i have done b.com from delhi university (1994-2000), school of correspondence and MBA from EIILM University (2008-2010) which is a UGC approved private university. Also for the above years it was authorised to conduct distance learning courses approved by UGC-AIU-DEC, but have heard a lot of negative about this university.

Queries

1) Has anyone got a positive WES evaluation for EIILM university or ANY OTHER PRIVATE UNIVERSITY FROM INDIA ( it is not in the list of universities on wes website ) . And some immigration consultants have told me that even though private universities are on UGC website but still not entertained by WES.

2) Secondly, if a send my B.Com and MBa and GOD forbids, MBA is not evaluated POSITIVE by WES, will they then give a Equivalency certification for at least my bachelors in commerce stating that BACHELORS DEGREE IS EQUIVALENT TO CANADIAN Standards or they will just evaluate my MBA and send a report MBA not equivalent to canadian Equivalency certification . and i have to reapply to get atleast my bachelors equivalency certification.

Thanks in advance
