Your experience plays no part on the CACB certification. CACB is a body that assesses your architecture education and sees if you meet the standards of the Architectural education that you underwent. If you meet all the requirements (doesn't matter where in India you studied), they give you the certificate. All the forms can be found on the CACB website under the section 'degree/diploma not accredited by CACB'.

Oh no problem :D, 4 pages for all the projects.
if you have more question let me know
As I have compiled most of my data and I am coming close to filling the forms, I have one last query before I proceed with the same. Please help me out on this. None of my university teachers could help me on the same.
"The % column is used to determine the percentage applicable to each subject when a course is listed in more than one area because its subject matter substantially overlaps." Do I have to fill this column for every course or just those that are repeating in more than one of the 6 areas?

Could you tell me what documents is the one you are using? Probably we are using deferents files as I applying under Canberra agreement. I filled a my paper form(in case you applying by paper and not online) with the hours and courses I took back in my university and they asked me the % but I leave this on blank.
lNo. of Weeks l % l Total number of hours l

Let me know what document you are referring to and what Certification aery working on (BEFA,ACADMIC,ETC.)

Regards.

Hi, I'm referring to the application for Academic Certification for Foreign programs-(Non USA)
Here as you click on the link and scroll towards pages 6 onwards, you'll see what I'm talking about. I am working on the academic certificate, I am only having little problem with the % column.

I filled this with 100 for all courses, because I don’t have courses shared between more than one area.

Oh I gotcha, I used that same form, what I did is fill up the no. of weeks and the total number of hours and just leaved it in blank because I didn't have that info neither so I guess you could do the same and leave it in blank, or as arch.ramy said use 100%, I don't really think is going to affect the decision, either way CACB will contact you if they have any question, hopefully not.

Let me know any other question, I'm here to help!

Hi it's me again! No questions about the application this time teehee. So I've successfully filled the online form and now I'm finally directed to the payment. Do we get access to/ pdf file of the form we submitted online once we make the payment? Or the online form once submitted stays with the CACB?

Hi! It stays with CACB only and then is when the wait starts, don't bother to ask them either by phone or email they will tell you ´´we are still eating in your case´´
All the best and let me know if you have another question! mademoiselle_
