IQAS has provided positive evaluations for SCDL PGDBAs!

Follow this thread for success stories: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/anyone-with-successful-educational-credential-assessment-eca-of-scdl.462228/page-13

Also, I had directly contacted IQAS with this question and below is their quoted response:
"IQAS assesses academic credentials only if they were obtained through formal academic education from accredited educational institutions. IQAStherefore has to authenticate that both a program of study and the institution attended meet specific accreditation requirements. While IQAS cannot evaluate credentials and institutions unless an application and documents are received, it should be noted that not all credentials obtained from Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning (SCDL) will be assessed. Your credential may or may not be assessed, depending on the year in which it was obtained and the recognition, of SCDL and the particular program completed, by the Distance Education Bureau, University Grants Commission and other responsible apex regulatory bodies.

IQAS only conducts assessments of education obtained at institutions that meet the following recognition criteria:
• the institution is formally approved by a designated competent authority within its own country as a quality institution
• the institution is widely accepted by other institutions and agencies, both within and outside the country

Review your country’s educational institution recognition process if you’re unsure if your institution meets this criteria."

Hi,
I need help regarding the same.
I have got my b.com degree ECA from WES and it is equivalent to 3 years degree
Now I have completed my Pg diploma in banking and finance from SCDL , how can I use it to improve my CRS
Shall I get only the diploma validated from IQAS or is it required to get the b.com degree also validated again from IQAS
