Education gap

[Pmanan]

Hi...
I have done masters last year. now I am planning for january intake either in PGD or Masters, but the problem is I have 4 year gap between my 12th and graduation.Does it creates any problem in visa approval process?? moreover 1 year is already completed after my last qualification. so does both of this affects in getting visa???

Hey,
First of all, if there is ever any issue regarding gap between studies, it refers to your latest degree (Masters in your case?) So, the gap of 4 yrs, in my opinion, is irrelevant. And 1 year gap after Master's is not a big deal either. In general, gap shouldn't be an issue in your application. In general, you should be able to account for your gap years, as to what you were doing during the time. Having a gap is no problem in itself.
Ona diff. note, since you have already done a Master's, you will need to convince the visa officer why you want to do another Master's degree. Also, make sure whatever program you choose is related to your previous studies, and/or makes sense with whatever career you are pursuing.
Good luck!

Hey dear thanks a lot..according to you I have to show experience for gap years...so only experience certificate is required to be attached or do I need to add salary slip as well. and I have to show experience for 4 year gap or for last 1 year gap or for both of the gap years...

Another que. is since I have already done masters can I go with PG Diploma course? will it be ok rather than with masters? which one increases the chances of convincing visa officer?

Hi,
To show the experience, letters from your employer should work fine, may/may not show payslips.
Choice of program is a judgement call for you. Think what makes the best sense.
