Is UPTU CSE Btech degree equivalent to UK degree

Post by NCR_India » Sat Sep 07, 2019 1:42 pm

I am working as Senior EPM Consultant in Delhi / NCR and recently got an offer letter from one of the UK based companys. They are sponsoring me for General Tier 2 VISA and have already applied for CoS.

I was going through the list of Required documents for General Tier 2 Visa where it is mentioned to have a 'proof of your knowledge of English'. I have my 4 years Graduation Degree (BTech) from Uttar Pradesh Technical University in Computer Science Engineering. I am just wondering if it is recognized by NARIC as equivalent to UK Degree.

Really appreciate your responses!!!

Thanks.

Hi thanks for the reply, I checked the NARIC website and they need following documents:

- Final Certificate: I already have my Btech degree
- Transcript: I have the official Transcript
- Medium of Instruction (MoI) letter:

Regarding MoI Letter, our university dont provide this as a separate letter instead they have mentioned all the details (Name, Course, Branch, College, Duration of Course, Year of Admission to Course, Year of Completion of Course and Medium of Instruction) on the Transcript itself.

Do I still need to provide MoI?

Pls check with naric.
Usually they need a separate MOI letter
Any suggestions I make in the forum are out my personal experience and should not be taken as a legal/professional advise.

Hi Deeksha

I have a few friends who have done graduation from UPTU and got toer 2 general visa. They also used Naric letter to prove their English qualification. If your university is not providing MOI letter, you can get same from your college.
Its accepted by Naric.

I got my Naric letter last week using the MOI letter issued by my college.

Thank you for prompt reply .

This is written in my MOI.

it is confirmed that he has passed the "BE computer Engineering" Degree Examination held in may- june - 2014. it is further confirmed that the medium of instruction for "BE degree programme" offered in English Language.

This certificated has been issued at his request for the educational purpose only.

So , little scared for wording "Education purpose only". i chased them 3-4 time now , they dont try to understand my concern and they stick with pre-defined format.

Not sure about it. If you passed out from UPTU then ask your respective college too for the MoI letter in the required format which you can find on NARIC website.

You can drop an email to 'info@naric.org.uk' with your query, also enclose your MoI in your mail for their reference. NARIC team will revert you if your MoI will be accepted or not.

quick question :

little confused on Title of qualification , I have Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Engineering)

Naric Said :
"Do not use punctuation marks or special characters when filling in the fields. Use only letters and numbers.
For example, do not type B.A. or B.Sc. or Ph.D. or Dip. Type without punctuation: BA or BSc or PhD or Dip"

So my question.
what should i write in Title of qualification ?
1.BE
2.BE Computer Engineering
3.Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Engineering)

please share your suggestion on your experience . appreciate your help.

Thank you.

Hi


It should not matter much.
You can write it like Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science.

I mentioned this way in my Naric.
