UK HSMP Tier 1 General - Executive MBA einough as Masters ?

[sonamjagad]

Hello,
I am currently in UK on Tier 2 General category. I am planning to switch my current visa status to UK HSMP Tier 1 General. I have done Bachelore of Computer Engineering and having 8 years of IT experience.

I calculated my points on Point based calculator and able to make 55 points only because I cant get points for my qualification. I require Master degree to be able to apply for UK Tier 1 General. To score qualification points, I have thought of doing Executive MBA in distance learning from ISBM ( Indian Schoold of Business Management). ISBM is not recognized by AICTE as it is distance learning education institute but it is approved by UKAS.

Please find the website and course details in the link below :

Can anyone let me know if I go for this Executive MBA course ( duration 6 months by distance learning ) , it will help me score qualfication points for Masters degree ?

Thanks in Advance,

Sonam

Sonam:

The best way to see and check if your Executive MBA distance learing from ISBM qualifies and gives your enough points for Qualification is to check it on PBS Calculator

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/pointscalculator

If the PBS Calculator recognizes it there is no looking back.. you can go for it even if it is not recognized by AICTE or not..

so give it a go and check.. goodluck

If it is not listed in PBS, then only option left is to check with NARIC. But since you have not yet done Executive MBA you cannot check with NARIC too as NARIC need Degree+transcripts.

I'll not call it Master's in any sense.
