Post by helloimran » Thu Aug 14, 2008 2:15 am

I have recently passed Postgraduate Diploma in Management Science from British Institute of Technology and E-commerce.My course duration is one year.
Tier 1 General calculator gives me 30 points when i enter this qualification.
My Diploma is not a bachelor,master and phd degree.
Can i claim 30 points for it?
Can any one please give me advice on it?
thanks....

:?
If the points-based calculator gives you points for your qualification(s), then yes, you can claim points.

That's the idea behind the points-based calculator / self-assessment - to see how much you score for each attribute.

Thats right,
I got 35 points for my PG Diploma in Management from India on the assessment tool and 30 points for my B.E degree hence applied with PG Diploma. The assessment tool has university names too.

Whats funny is that the job market will be completely unimpressed with your educational credentials when you get here so don't let the high score lull you into a false sense of security or belief as to how well you would do well in the UK. I would be interested in learning how well people fare on finding a job compared to how many points they scored for the education based on the points system.
