Hi,
I am Vrinda Vijayan, completed MBA (majoring in Project Management) from SMUDE in May 2016 and Engineering from Kerala in 2013.
I applied for an ECA with IQAS and sent my application, all required documents and both bachelors degree and masters degree transcripts (2 sealed envelopes from both universities) all together in an envelope, to IQAS. Courier delivery confirmation was received on May 3rd and I got AOR1 on 11th June.
Unfortunately, when I enquired about AOR2, they informed me that the bachelors degree transcript envelope is missing from my file. They said it may have been misplaced/lost at the place where they open the packages and they wont be able to run after it.
My query to you guys is, it will take a long while for me to get my bachelors degree transcripts once again from the univ; so if I ask IQAS to go ahead with the ECA using MBA degree alone, would I get a masters equivalent assessment? Would they keep it as bachelors either because my actual bachelors degree transcripts were not provided again, or because my MBA is a distance degree (not full time)?
I am asking because I either have to spend another 2 months chasing my bachelors degree univ for a transcript, or take my chance at ECA using just my MBA. If they do not give me masters equivalency, i will have to start from one which means I have to invest double the amount of effort, time and money.
Some insights from you guys would be of great help, I'm looking forward for some kind help.
Thank you,
Vrinda Vijayan
