Has anyone used IQAS (not ICAS please) for ECA?
Is their processing time really around 10 working days?

Many thanos Rahul and Munjal. Your replies have been helpful.munjal said:Yes IQAS is really fast... and they cost little bit lower compared to WES..
Just few things which you dont get from IQAS
- online degree equivalency
- soft copy of your ECA report
- online account for your file to check status of your ECA

Your masters degree can be evaluated on its own however, it is advisable to have both done so that you can claim the maximum points under transferable skills.krishere1982 said:Hi,
I am trying to get my masters degree evaluated by IQAS. Do we need to send them the bachelors degree transcripts also for them to evaluate the masters degree?
Section B of the checklist which is mandatory to be sent with the application form to IQAS is little confusing :
It says "Secondary school academic documents included: (if you wish to have only your post-secondary education assessed, secondary school documents are not required)" - which I understand is if we want to get bachelors/masters degree evaluated, we don't need to send secondary school documents(which is 12th grade?).
Also "Post-Secondary academic documents included:" has fields for photocopy of degree/diploma, photocopy of transcripts, transcripts issued by fields printed twice. Would that be for people who would be getting their masters and bachelors evaluated together in one application, to use one set of fields for each degree?
Please advise.
Thanks.
Take photocopies and ask your concerned university official (registrar or controller of examinations) to attest them with signature and university seal. Insert the documents in an envelope, seal the open end and get the university seal stamped across the area where the open end is sealed. Send it to IQAS along with their application. Either the university or you can send them to IQAS.ayyub85 said:Dear Friends,
I am willing to apply my education certificates assessment under IQAS, but I have some confusions. I will appreciate if you could be able to remove my confusions.
1- IQAS says that my institution should directly send the documents for assessment. Means I first apply for duplicate copies of my certificates from my university and then tell my university to forward these duplicates to IQAS?
2-I have original documents with me, so is it possible that I first make copy of these originals and ask my university to attest them and once attested I will ask my university to forward them to IQAS?
3- Is it possible that instead of my university send them how about the Higher Education Commission send them. Will it be acceptable by them
I humbly seek such info.

Your understanding is almost correct. I would like to stress you some points. Since you have two degrees I assume they are from different universities. In that case they need to be in separate envelopes. Attestation of documents is not enough. It has to be enclosed in an envelope and has to be sealed at the open end with university official stamp. Send it to IQAS with other required documents using a courier that provides online tracking. No need for your intermediate documents. No need for passport attestation by university.ayyub85 said:Thanks a lot for such guidence, I now got the picture that I need the photocopies of my
1- BE Electronics Engineering
2-MBA
3-Intermediate(No need I guess)
4-Passport
and send these photocopies to my university and tell them to attest,seal and gave them back to me so that I can directly send to IQAS by myself to expedite the matter.
Am I right guyz?
Again Bundle of thanks.
