If you have done MBA from India, do not opt for ECA from WES

[kunalsingla1991]

Hello everyone,
You all must have heard people recommending to get ECA done from WES (World Education Services), especially in India. But if you have studies MBA from India, do not opt for WES. They will give it a Canadian equivalency of - 'One year Post graduate diploma' instead of 'Master's degree'.

I have studied MBA fron Nirma University, Gujarat. When I got my ECA done, I was awarded One year PG diploma equivalency. I raised a query as I had 2 years of full-time management degree, they responded that WES only gives Master's equivalency to MBA done from IIMs or IITs.

So please opt for University of Toronto for ECA, it may be a little costly, and takes 2 weeks more than WES, but it will give you more accurate equivalency. But if you have studied MBA from IIMs & IITs, you can opt for WES.

PS: WES takes 6 weeks to process an application, after it receives your documents in hard copy.

Yes, when it comes to Indian MBA degrees best is to go for IQAS

You are right.. this is come into action recently according to their new policy. Any Indian MBA EXCEPT FROM IIM OR IIT will be treated like a PG diploma

This change happened few months ago. This was mentioned on their blog and email.newsletter also.

Applicants prior to that were lucky enough

ICES is faster as well. So would suggest Indian MBA degrees to go for IQAS or ICES

Hi Kunal,

Thanks for your post. With the recent changes to WES document policy of not accepting transcripts sent by applicants and WES not evaluating Indian MBAs accurately, even I am considering other ECA agencies. You mentioned about University of Toronto's CES. Would you happen to know if they provide Canadian Master's equivalency for Indian MBA? I'm asking because unlike WES, you can just send your Masters alone to CES for evaluation and also CES charges are per credential (i.e if you want both bachelors and Masters to be evaluated, it'll cost around 400 CAD).

Hence if I send only my Masters and CES doesnt provide me a Master's equivalency, it would be a huge set back.

Kindly let me know.

Thanks!

As far as I know ICES and IQAS gives positive equivalency for Indian MBAs IQAS gives 100% MBA equivalency

Some of my friends have got their ECA done from University of Toronto. They received full equivalency.. SoI would suggest you to opt for that instead of stupid WES

WES is a very poor in terms of Indian degrees. IQAS and ICES are far better options

hi all,
I did BCOM and MBA from Lucknow univ and UPTU. Also, I have got the desired 8777 score in IELTS, now the question is for the ECA.
As WES, have changed the rules such that university needs to send the transcript directly to them (but univ says they cannot send).
So from which organization I should go for the ECA assessment.

Also, Please suggest the process time as well. Moreover, I read somewhere that for IQAS only highest degree needs to be evaluated. so in case of Master, do I need to just send the Master's transcripts or BCOM as well.

Need information because you must have gone thru the same situation a few weeks or months back. Please share your experience, research and actions.
Thanks

Hi Nick,

I'm also looking to get eca done for my bachelor's & masters degree. Can you please tell me the process of getting official transcripts from UPTU?
And which agency you chose to get it done? I'm inclined towards CES to get my eca report.
What do you think? Please try to reply back asap.

Thanks
