NARIC - Letter for comparability

[amit0277]

I have recently sent my document to NARIC. Does the letter of comparability mentions that the degree is taught in english and has acceptable english standard.

If the letter contains this information, do I still have to give IELTS exams?

Please share your experience.

Thanks
Amit

No! it contain no such statement. You can also get the specimen from NARIC site. It only assures that the degree is comparable to the certain UK standard or not. You will have to get the certificate from your institution.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

This is to certify that Mr. XXXXX was a student of the XXXXX University in Bachelor of Commerce degree program from the year 1996 to1999.

He was awarded Bachelor of Commerce degree in the First Class division in the year April 1999 under Regd. No: XXXXX.

This is also to certify that Bachelor of Commerce is a degree program with the medium of instruction in English. Consequently all the three years were taught in English Language.

But still I m not sure that it will be acceptable or not, coz they accept letters from those insttutions which are in the accredated list. So better to go for IELTS!

What if my university does not appear in the list of home office point calculator for english proficiency. Even though couple of months ago I prodcued certificate from UK NARIC confirming my degree is equivalent to a UK Bachelors degree. Also I hove got certificate from my University confirming the degree was taught in English.

I requested Home office team whether they would accept it, they said it would be acceptable. This was confirmed about six month ago.

Now since the rules getting changed very quickly, I need a little help to make sure that I am safe?

As per HSMP 08/07 guideline it seems fine that syas The bachelor degree should be verified by NARIC and u must provide the letter from institution. so i think u r safe here. But anyways the degree shuold be a bachelor degree mind it. I request others to suggest here please.

Thanks shah. But I am bit confused over here. Workpermit.com mention that NARIC will confirm if the degree is taught in english.

"If the degree was earned in another country, information provided by UK NARIC can verify if the English-taught degree is acceptable enough to satisfy the English language requirement."

I too think IELTS is a safer bet.
