Timeline for the much awaited ECA for my girl friend.
All documents (Application and All Transcripts) reached IQAS: 12th Jan 2018
1st AoR: 20th Jan 2018 (after follow up)
2nd AoR: 2nd Mar 2018
ECA Soft copy: 9th Apr 2018
Total time taken: 12 Weeks from receiving documents.
Courses she has completed:
Bachelor of Science from University of Kolkata (3 years)
Master of Science from University of Kolkata (2 years)
Post Graduate Diploma in Management from IMT CDL (2 years)
Credentials given:
Masters credential for University of Kolkata degree.
University Diploma credential for IMT CDL - PGDM.
What this means is that, although IQAS recognized IMT CDL, they do not give MASTERS credential for 2 Year PGDM course. (Not sure about 1 year course). They only gave University Diploma credential. If you do not have any other PG degree, you probably will have to go with 'More than one certificates with at least one degree being 3 years' option, when you create your profile.
