I am a PGDM holder from T.A. Pai Management Institute, Manipal. This was a regular 2 year program. The institute is AACSB accredited and recognized as equal to MBA, by AIU. Yet, in WES preliminary assessment for ECA, I could not find the institute listed under MBA. I understand that this prelim list is not fully updated and may even be quite dated, I was concerned to read that PGDM from some of the more premier institutes like XLRI and IIMs were also not given MBA equivalence. Appreciate inputs from people who have gone through this hoop or have insight on what I can expect in terms of the final outcome when I send the certificate to WES for review. While replying please bear in mind the AACSB accreditation and AIU recognition.

Hi,
Wanted to check, Did you get your ECA done from WES for your PGDM (from T.A. Pai),
- if yes what was their response. Did they recognise your degree and institute and what is the Canadian equivalence of your PGDM (Master or equivalent to bachelor)

Hi,
Did either of you get a response from WES regarding PDGM from T.A. Pai? What equivalency did you get for your degree? Did they recognize as masters?
Thanks in advance!
