I have done MBA from
College Name: ABC, City A
University Name: XYZ, City B

My college name is NOT mentioned anywhere in my degree or marksheet. Only my University name is there in degree and marksheet.

In my ECA report my University name appears.

Plz help me with following queries. Queries are connected to each other.

Q1. What should I put as Institute/College name in my express profile - College name(ABC) or Univ name(XYZ)? I am tempted to write my Univ name only. Plz advise
Q2. What should be my Town/CIty of study - City A or B? I feel like writing City B, which is less confusing but it is actually wrong. And it will be further wrong when I ll have to write my address of living later while filing for PR. And in my address my college name will have to appear.
Q3. Lastly, when i did my MBA in 2010, my college was affiliated to univ XYZ but a year later college became a deemed university. Does that create any confusion.

Write City A and after ITA, explain in LOE that the College was in city A and the University in city B.

do we have to show some kind of proof regarding education in the college? As neither WES nor Degree certificate have the name of college mentioned in it

Same issue for me as well. My degree certificate only carries my Uni name whereas my consolidated marks statement is printed on my Uni paper but mentions the college I studied in. I had clarified this by email to WES and so my ECA mentions only the Uni name.

I suppose the only option is to explain this in the LoE just to eliminate any risk of misrepresentation. I'm sure the visa officers see hundreds of these cases anyway.

Wouldn't it be much easier if we provide the university name and its address? ( I know a few people who got PR while doing both methods)
