Hi All,
I am planning to migrate to Canada and my nightmare is my qualification. I have completed my BBA from Sikkim Manipal University during the year 2016 and my admission was in Oct 2013. I am completely aware that ICAS can only be the one who can assess my qualification and also they have made it clear that Distance education programs recognized by the Distance Education Council (DEC) or UGC at the time of your admission can only be assessed. At my time of admission SMU was battling for UGC recognition and got its recognition in 2015 and my degree certificate states UGC registered. BUT, neither Distance Education Bureau (DEB) nor UGC in their recognition list states any evidence of any recognition for this period (2013-2016). I was able to find only one article by hindustan times stating that govt. protects students who were admitted to the distance education programmes from February 22, 2013, to June 26, 2015 (
https://www.hindustantimes.com/educ...to-students/story-qiUQN29nDuNuijLawDm8YI.html) there is no official record for this statement from any authorized authorities.
Me being a person who works as an migration assessment officer for 6 years, I am aware that case officers do not take alot of efforts to evaluate a qualification that comes with such an ambiguous background. If there is anyone who have a similar case and got it through, please share your thoughts and if anyone have any additional information for students admitted during the time 2013-2016 will be extremely helpful.
