Hi
I have done my Bachelors and Masters from India.
I want my Master's credentials only evaluated by WES for Express Entry under FSWP. I do not want my Bachelor's evaluated. WES mentions in its website (https://www.wes.org/advisor-blog/wes-indian-credential-evaluations/)
Has anyone experienced it?
thanks!

- If your master’s degree was obtained from an Indian institution, and does not fall into the categories listed above, you MUST also submit your bachelor’s degree documents. WES cannot evaluate the master’s degree without the bachelor’s degree.
Has anyone experienced it?
thanks!

You will need to collect the the transcripts from your B'Tech college and in a sealed envelope with university stamp and then send this to WES for evaluation.Hi

Do I simply need to send the Bachelor's degree to WES directly (send myself)? Or, does WES want a transcript also (directly sent from the university)?

I am not sure what program you are from in GLIM. I did the one year PGPM and I heard IQAS gives a one year PG equivalency to it. I suggest you try that. But the timeline for IQAS is 6 months from the time you courier the docs.
Hello,1 year PGPM was recognized by IQAS as 1 year certificate course form university and that is after including transcripts from great lakes and the certificate from Stuart school of business. Not sure what WES will do but it took about 95 days for the evaluataion from WES.
Have you got your great lakes credential evaluated by Iqas ?

Hello,How long did IQAS take to verify your application?
Have you got your Great lakes certificate evaluated ? Any updates ?
Hi, I'm pgdm (Finance), mdi Gurgaon batch of 2018. Could you please help as to how can I get it assessed as masters equivalent?Hi, I saw these 5 options when I created my WES profile. These were not visible when I was checking the free assessment tool. MDI is listed there. Now the question is to select which option out of these 5. It is surely not a university and I don't think it is professional education (which I believe refers to CA, CS, etc.)
1 year PGPM from Great Lakes Institute of Management
Hi,
I have 4 year B.Tech and 1 year PGPM from Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai. I want to know if my 1 year PGPM will be considered as an MBA equivalent by WES? Does a PMP certification of any help in CRS score?
Hi, Great Lakes is not recognized by WES as they don’t recognize the 1 year program for MBA. Also, the college in general is not in their list.
Great lakes is trying to talk to WES, but that inclusion will take some time. Meanwhile, Great lakes is recognized by IQAS. So, you can send your evaluation to them. Your degree will be counted and ut will add to your CRS score. Pmp certificate is not counted for the process.
IQAS takes 4–6 months though. Evaluation bodies other than WES, take atleast that much time.
Hi, Great Lakes is not recognized by WES as they don’t recognize the 1-2 year program for MBA. Also, the college in general is not in their list.Hi

The certificate you receive from IQAS says recognised as a post graduate certificate from great lakes. One year graduate certificate. It also says that the program is comparable to a completion of University certificate with focus in management.Can anyone respond, what equivalency they got for 1 year PGPM from great lakes institute of management?
