Its quick n fast i could'nt expect that so early. My application has been refused on the criteria that i never thought there'll be any issue in it, below is the reason they gave me:
Academic Achievement - 0 points awarded
The evidence submitted did not support your claim of 15 points for this section. The HSMP guidance notes (Paragraph 2 Annex C) states that qualification have to be the equivalent to the recognized British standard of Bachelor's Master's or PhD to be awarded the respective points for each level of qualification. The qualification you submitted with the application was checked against guidance given by the National Academic Recognition Information Center for the United Kingdom (UK Naric). The Bachelors qualification gained in Pakistan is not equivalent to British BAchelors. Therefore, we were unable to award any points for this section
Guys, plz help me out here.. i'm really dishearted..
I did my 3 years BCS from FAST-ICS karachi in 2001 then my university offered me extension program to complete my 4-year BCS. I took it and they awarded me the same BCS degree with 4th year i.e. 2004 as the passing year and the 4year(8semester) cummulative transcript. i knew that my case is complicated thats why i went for NARIC assessment, first time NARIC assessed my degree not equivalent to Brisith's Bachelors. I explained them my situation in detail and then they assessed me as following:
Title: Bachelor of Computer Science
Institute: University of Karachi
Completion: 2002
Assessment: Is Considered comparable to British BAchelor(Ordinary) degree standard
Add Info: This assessment is based on the assumption that this was a four year course
I did submit my NARIC assessment with my application even then they refused it. I thnk NARIC has not updated there database against my University and they issued me this assessment esp to me and may be when HSMP contacted NARIC about my University and Degree, they said its not equivalent. what u guys think??
Now ofcrouse i'll go for review, i need your help esp senior members that how shuld i prepare my review. I'm thinking to explain my degree situation to them in the same way as i explained it to NARIC and give NARIC enquiry# as well.
eagerly waiting for your replies.
thanks n regards
