Indian PGDM from AACSB accredited B-School

[rajeshnsuma]

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. Appreciate inputs from people who have gone through such hoops or have insight on what I can expect in terms of the final outcome when I send the certificate to WES for review.

The fact that your institute is not in the WES list is not a big deal. The only list is pretty short and doesn't look updated. To your relief, even IIMs are not on the list

Thanks softfuel12! But the question still remains as to whether I can expect an MBA equivalence or not based on the AACSB act which does seem to carry weight in US and Canada. Some earlier posts had XLRI and some of the IIMs being considered as post secondary! That is a bit unfair but it is probably because they aren't accredited by AACSB or the likes of it.
