Hi, I got my WES evaluation today For my MBA from Pune University-I got an equivalency of 1 year post graduate diploma in management whereas few of my friends who did it 6 months back got it as Masters. Is it a wrong evaluation?

No brother. WES has changed their evaluation policy for Indian MBAs. Only MBA from IIM/IIT and 3 year MBAs are evaluated as Masters. All other MBAs are assessed as Postgraduate diploma (1 year)

If you are short of points, try doing an evaluation with other agencies like IQAS or ICES

Actually, Before applying, i took the dummy evaluation with them, when they said masters then i went ahead with them. Now i will lose 7 points due to that.
In India, If Im not wrong, there's no MBA for 3 years. My friend gave it Jan and he got it as MAsters. Does IQAS gurantee a Masters equivalency ?. If you have the notification of IIT IIM can u please share

Hey same has happened in my case. IIFT MBA and I've got it as one year post graduate diploma. How do you infer that WES has changed this policy? Is it mentioned anywhere?

A guy from a Facebook Canada PR applicant page had raised the query with WES and their evaluation director had come up with the reply. He shared it in the page.

ok so in this case, my canadian equivalency summary says - Bachelor's degree (four years) and postgraduate diploma (one year)
Which would mean what should i select in my education while filling the EE profile. There is a huge gap of scores between bachelor and masters degree.

You should enter your education individually and exactly as it is mentioned in your ECA. The system will calculate the scores.

You qualify for two or more certificates

So this is now getting a bit confusing. Ok i can go ahead with "Two or more certificates", Now my work ex is in 1112 NOC code (financial analyst), thsi NOC code states educational requirements as Masters degree in finance or MBA. So does this mean I cannot choose this NOC code? Or simply i cannot show my work experience which almost kills my CRS score ?


Also, is financial analyst a regulated job in canada? I could not find any list of regulated jobs in canada.

Hi @NiSn , @PRPR - can you please comment if you got your IIFT 2-year MBA evaluated as Masters Degree from IQAS or ICES? I did a pre-evaluation on WES' website and it says it's a 1 year post graduate diploma. Please help!

Yes I got my degree evaluates as 1 year post graduate diploma only. But that sufficed for CRS score for me.
