Which is better for ECA? WES or some other?

[Malvika_1990]

I am MBBS with an MD Degree from India. I am looking for evaluation just for immigration purpose. Not for residency. But at many places MD is equivalent to doctoral degree. But I guess WES doesn’t evaluate it like that. I want to know if there is any organization which gives better evaluation than WES? Anyone a doctor, who experienced it?

From quora.com - Is there an alternative to WES evaluation?

For Indian applicants, If WES has rejected your request for evaluation, I would recommend going for IQAS, because it appears most liberal.

ICAS: applicable only if you studied at an University or Technical Education Board

ICES: applicable only if you studied at State Board of Technical Education or at an University

IQAS: applicable for institutions recognised by MHRD, NIOS, UGC, and AICTE

University of Toronto CES: applicable only if you studied at State Board of Technical Education, at an University or at State Board of General Nursing and Midwifery.

EDIT: IQAS rejected one of my credentials because it was not recognized by UGC or AICTE. This is not mentioned on IQAS website, but was mentioned in the letter I received from IQAS stating why they have rejected a credential.

Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery, or in Latin: Medicinae Baccalaureus Baccalaureus Chirurgiae (abbreviated in many ways, e.g. MBBS, MB ChB, MB BCh, MB BChir (Cantab), BM BCh (Oxon), BMBS), are the two first professional degrees in medicine and surgery awarded upon graduation from medical school by universities in certain countries.

Why is WES better?

For over 40 years, WES has set the standard of excellence in the field of credential evaluation.
