I completed my Bachelors in Engineering (electrical and electronics) from Anna University, India in 2008.
I have been working as a consultant for 8 years now.

In 2015, I signed up for 1 year PG diploma course from IGNOU (distance education). I will be completing this in September and looking forward to go for WES assessment. Just to evaluate my chance of getting ITA, I would like to know if my profile will be considered as Bachelors degree or can I use two or more certificates/ diploma / degree to get full 128 points?

Does WES recognise part-time diploma programs? In addition, do they count work experience during the course of study?

one-year of graduate study with a focus in [area of concentration]
Study Toward a Master's Degree
Dual Bachelor’s degree (four years)
