Hi Sukant and Gautam ,
I've closely following this blog and would request your help :
I've done 2 years Advanced Post Graduate Diploma in Management [Finance] from 2010-2012. So Should I go for ECA with IQAS or WES ? Heard WES is not approving it but do we have any success with IQAS ??
Appreciate your help, Because if it's not recognized i will only get 3 or more years degree course in CIC for my BE. If IMT-CDl will be counted as University diploma i can get additional points of 2 or more degrees/diploma .
IMT-CDL got its DEC/UGC approval in 2010.
Any course enrolled on or after that year will be recognised by IQAS & ICAS.
IQAS - will not give you a master's degree but will give a university diploma degree or a certificate.
This can help you move on to the category of '2 or more certificates/diplomas/degrees of which 1 is for at least 3 years' - makes a difference of 5-7 crucial points in your CRS score.
ICAS - i understand that SMU (similar to IMT-CDL) students received their ECA assessed as Masters. (cannot confirm this about IMT-CDLas I did not read anyone taking a chance with them).
I understand that ICAS grants master's degrees to Indian Distance Learning courses which are :
1) recognised by UGC/DEC on or before the pupil's admission year.
2) university is not blacklisted.
Disadvantage of ICAS is that their assessment period is 6 months.
Hope this clarifies
