I am planning to pursue my PGDBA(post graduate diploma in Business Administration) from Annamalai University,India . It is a 1 year course with 4 subjects but still unsure of the credits. My question is will it be eligible for 1 year secondary degree in WES/Canada evaluation such that two or more degrees can be selected during the Canada CRS score calculation . Is this course eligible for a one year secondary degree since it has only 4 subjects . Thanks in advance . Would be awaiting your response. In hindsight I have already completed my UG and have 4 years of work experience.
What is the degree equivalency for Post graduate diploma in Annamalai university , India ..1 year diploma course with 4 subjects ??
Kindly help

I haven't got response from this thread l, but 1 person had confirmed that it is a valid 1 year evaluation. I'm not sure how far along u r in this if u have applied or already have the diploma. I have received the degree and I'm abt to request for Wes evaluation, will update my evaluation if it helps. But pls bear in mind that we get the benefits of the diploma only if it is evaluated as a 1 yr course. Sometimes it gets evaluated as a 1 semester course

Exactly as you have said, the benefits lie in WES ECA, that is if it evaluated as 1 year course.

I am a B.E(ECE) graduate with 4.4 years of experience as a Web Programmer, planning to pursue some relevant PGD from Annamalai University to boost the CRS.

I am confused in choosing between PGD in Computer Applications(12 papers in 2 semesters) and PGD in Internet Technology(5 papers in 1 semester) or completely into general management courses, PGDBA/PGDMM.

What would you suggest? Which one would be safer, as except for PGDCA the remaining courses have only one semester? Do you have any other better suggestions?


Also, share your experience in getting the transcripts.
Thanks a lot in advance.

I think as long as it is a 1year evaluated degree, everything is fine, but that exactly is the million dollar question.

Conclusion
Postgraduate certificate and diploma programs involve six months to two years of fulltime study. While the general entry requirement is the completion of a bachelor’s degree in any discipline (3 or 4 years), programs in some specialized and professional fields require a bachelor’s degree (4 years) in the same or a related field for admission. The certificate/diploma allows an individual to seek employment and, in some cases, admission into a master’s degree program with advanced standing. In comparison, universities in Canada offer certificate and diploma programs in a variety of disciplines at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

For undergraduate-level programs, admission is typically based on high school graduation. For graduate-level programs, admission is typically based on a bachelor’s degree (4 years) and, in some cases, related work experience. There are also post-baccalaureate programs with entry requirement and program level similar to those of after degrees.

Based on the above information and placement recommendations of other evaluation resources, IQAS makes the following comparisons: Postgraduate Certificate or Diploma from university-level institution or institutions with appropriate program accreditation (such as AICTE) - Generally compares to the completion of a University Diploma or University Certificate [Shorter programs (e.g. 1 year) are generally compared to certificates while longer programs (e.g. 2 years) can be compared to diplomas]. Postgraduate Diplomas in Management (PGDM) offered at institutions on the AIU list involve two years of fulltime study, with entry based on the completion of a bachelor’s degree. This translates into a minimum of five years (3+2) of postsecondary study in total. The PGDM, equated with MBA by the AIU, allows an individual to seek employment and admission into doctoral-level programs in management. In comparison, MBA programs in Canada usually involves at least one year of fulltime study, with entry based on the completion of a four-year bachelor’s degree. Based on the above information and placement recommendations of other evaluation resources, IQAS compares the Postgraduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) from the institutions on the AIU list to the completion of a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree.

I have already Ifcompleted a successful evaluation with WES for my bachelor's degree. So now if I choose IQAS can I evaluate just the PG Diploma course alone and not the bachelor s degree?Or would they require us to send transcript s of both degrees?

WES needs you to re-submit both Bachelor and other degree again. It is basically same as starting fresh. Not sure about IQAS.
Do update us about your evaluation status.
