I was in USA at that time and I was really confused and worried. But luckily I came across MailTranscripts through google search. Surprisingly everything went smooth and with in 2 weeks my transcripts got prepared. University has sent the soft copy and hard copy of transcript directly to ICAS with the academic request form filled by the university. The team made sure that the university following the requirement of ICAS. I am really very happy and impressed by the services of MailTranscripts.

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all are doing well!

I have completed my MBA from Sikkim Manipal in 2019 took admission in 2017. I'm confused and in desperate need for help regarding which organization to go with for ECA. ICAS or IQAS. I'm not sure if ICES recognizes SMU degree or not. Also, there was an amendment happened in early 2021 which says WES recognizes SMU degree now. I would really appreciate if anyone can help and advise which is the best option to choose for SMU?

Thank you so much!

Kind regards,
Trishna

You can ask SMU and WES once. WES is quite fast compare to others.

SMU has a tedious process to get the transcript. You may apply with MailTranscripts where in you need to upload scans of marksheet, degree certificate and they will get the transcript prepared before 10 days. I applied with them for IQAS evaluation but the team confirmed back to me stating that IQAS is not accepting SMU Degree so then I applied for ICAS evaluation and the team has sent my transcript to ICAS as per their requirement. MailTranscripts Team has good knowledge in Canada PR process.

Whom to contact in SMU distance for ECA verification? I tried contacting the helpdesk but no reply.

Yes regardless of the year of Passing. ICAS will consider it equivalentas masters degree. The only thing is they'll take approximately 9 months to process.

Hello all,
I had taken my admission in SMU-DE in the year 2011 when the university was struggling for UGC recognition.
I had opted for evaluation through ICAS and they didn’t recognise it stating that the university was not recognised during your admission.
This is so frustrating and I just do not know what can be done in this case. I PR process has just stopped now, hopeless.

anybody who experienced the same?

Hello Pammy,

I have the same situation, I have completed my MBA from SMU distance education in Sep-2013. I took admission in Feb-2011.
Is there any way to get it evaluated with ICAS or IQAS? Is there anyone who got positive response.
It is clearly mentioned with ICAS, university should be UGC recognized at the time of admission.
I am planning to submit my documents to ICAS.

Dear Concerned,

Today on 17th Feb 2016, I have got my ECA report from ICAS Canada for my MBA from sikkim manipa university. It has taken them six months to render this report. Important shareable experiences and information is:

1. I had email exchanges with ICAS before sending papers where i was told - " Thank you for your enquiry. For postsecondary study completed in India, we will accept only the followingegrees awarded by institutions which were recognized by the UGC at the time of admission, Programs recognized by the AICTE at the time of admission, Qualifications awarded by State Boards of Technical Education. It is your responsibility to determine whether your qualifications fulfill our requirements. If they do, then we can assess them. We strongly suggest that you submit all postsecondary qualifications for assessment, not just your highest qualification, to help us prepare the most meaningful report for your purposes." I had done some research on the recognition of SIKKIM MANIPAL and found out that on june 2012, high court has stated in a decision that "distance education from sikkim maipal should be regarded as recognized. My admission was after this order date in fact was in June 2012 itself.

2. I only sent my masters degree papers. paid the fee for ECA, got the request letter, sent the request letter to university for transcripts to be directly sent to ICAS along with the letter, got all my mark sheets and degree certificate copies attested by a notary (even empty back sides of papers written as "empty") and sent them to ICAS.

3. I kept regular conversation with ICAS via email while waiting, I was told that my papers were received in completeness on 4th august 2015 so that is treated as my start date for waiting of 25weeks. The report was finally received by me (email not hard copy as yet) on 17th Feb 2016.

4. My timeline at ICAS login: *note that 4th august does not reflect in my timeline.

The following list shows the current state of your application. For further information, contact the ICAS office.
