Currently I come under the Group D countries and according to my knowledge, I am getting an earning multiplier of 5.3 (correct me if I am wrong) So I am getting 2530 points for the previous Earning. I wanted to know how will these points be affected after April 6? I believe what he means is 25-30 p...

Since the pound has depreciated by ~13% (from 80 to 70) believe that multiplier could be changed to 4.5-4.6 from the current 5.3 I think they will take these factors while evaluating Salary Multiplier 1. GDP of India 2. Growth rate of the India 3. GBP Depriciation 4. Rupee Apprciation 5. Most Impor...

I think i agree with you..It will not go below 4 and won't be surprised if it remains same

Also the benefit of weak GBP can be taken at this point of time since it fluctuated a lot and one never know it can reach to 80 levels again in 3-4 months.

Salary Multiplier is going to be a key factor for many of those applying post 6th April.

Since HO has still not provided clarity on this yet, I don't see salary multiplier going below 4 (Some Analysis, some Estimate) for India (Which is currently 5.3)

Any Thoughts?

Especially in the current economic climate, it is highly unlikely that the Masters Degree requirement will be dropped from Tier 1 (General). Well, if you see read through MAC report, dropping Master's Degree won't just ease the channels. The current scenario is that any tom d%&^ harry, having a...

Thanks Guru, I did mean about Tier-1 only. But obvious. thanks If you refer to the report bf MAC, I am certain that changes are likely to be introduced but what will be the changes or the magnitude of these changes that is completely on UKBA to decide. While these changes might suit somebody, it mi...

Any News/ Update on when the changes are going to be introduced in the system?
IF they are going to be introduced or not?

We appealed to NARIC and provided all the possible references and letters n they have provided us with a letter now which states that the degree is an equivalent to the masters degree . Hope you get the same too...but my concern is would HC accept the results of NARIC? Hi saara, I spoke to my insti...

No one can predict..May be they come up with 4 something and next year MAC recommend 5 and then they change.. I agree that it is not possible to predict. So just some guestimates from analysis about UK market vis a vis India Market and they pay scales. Since this decision might set up guidance for ...

And how precisely would this poll help? Not sure what we are trying to achieve here. Like I said this will change the rules of the game for the new applicants. As suggested in the poll, if salary multiplier goes below 3, which means A Bachelor Degree holder by age of 28 has to have gross annual sal...

As per MAC recomendation, they have advised HO to revise the Salary multiplier as per current scenario. This is crucial since it can change the rules of the game . One of the immigration consultant predicted the Band for INDIA to change from Band D to Band C i.e 5.3 to 3.2. I know it is uncertain to...

(1) What is your current VISA status? Pls provide dates etc. (2) I would still advise you to speak to their regional office I was on work permit which has expired in October this year. I have stayed in UK for almost 1.5 years starting Nov 2007. Then I came back to India. Now I am in the process of ...

you dont need letter from NARIC.
You can apply directly.

HI all Just wanted to ask you all if PGDM from SCMHRD , Pune in 2005, which is now under SIU and a degree, is considered as an equivalent to a MBA degree ? Your comments and suggestions would be appreciated No, Unfortunately it is not equivalent to Masters Degree as considered by NARIC. I am also a...

Can anybody tell meif i will qualify for Master's criteria? This PGD assessment falls in band 12 of UK NARIC doc under Masterscolumn. Similar Thread has been initiated previoisly. http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=45836&sid=73f4ca81942bf71951fd2e8f459eb80c People will say.. does ...

Unfortunately thats as much as you can do. Try speaking to AICTE again (visit their regional office which is responsible for that particular zone). They must have some solution in the interim. Which institution did you get your degree from? I did my master's from Symbiosis institute of Internationa...

The AICTE website clearly says so. In any case I believe its easier to get document's from one's own institution/university than from a regulatory agency. NARIC has strictly mentioned that they will accept letter from AICTE or AIU only. I approach both the agencies on my own. AIU - They said they c...

This is certainly going to highly impact Tier 2 Visa. Not sure about the changes it will draw to Tier 1 general Visa

The applicants are advised to approach the concerned institution from where he or she has obtained the Diploma / Degree to apply for the equivalence [/b]. The body that I am talking about is this - I have not checked what its function is so go through the website and find out. However you should fo...

I remember visiting AICTE website a few weeks ago and I think it says that they wouldn't provide any equivalency letter to candidates directly. On the website itself they have provided a link to a newly constituted body which does so. Give it a try.[/quote] I am not able to locate which body are yo...

quote]Is that a question or an answer? Can you post what exactly NARIC has advised you to do? I got PGDBM and to equate it to Master's degree, NARIC has asked me to submit a letter either from AICTE or AIU for its equivalancy to MBA. I have done 2 yr full time from symbiosis, Pune in 2006, while my...

Please mention AIU (Association of Indian Universities) as well since NARIC has asked me to get equivalency letter from either AICTE or AIU.

My institute has got AICTE approval in June 2006. Can AICTE give me equivalency letter for the diploma received in April 2006 from the same institute? or
It doesnt provide equivalency when they were not under AICTE at that time?

Any clue!!

Hi
I need to apply to AICTE to grant me equivalance certificate to submit to NARIC.
Does somebody know the procedure? Can I apply individually? How much time will it take?
