Hi Experts,
I am looking forward to apply for my Tier-1 (G) in the next few months. As per new PBS Calculator my academic qualification does not automatically give me 10 points for English Language requirement. I studied 'Bachelors Degree in Arts' @ Delhi University and medium of studies and examination was in english medium though.
Can anyone please let me know how do I prove this? Is it sufficient to get a letter from my college on college letter head confirming that my medium of studies and examination was English?
Please help.... Or else what other option do I have?
Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pass a
English languge test. Reading the
Tier 1 policy guidance *carefully* will help.

In that case, you need either the letter from your uni OR Ielts score total 6.5 .

May I request the basis of this suggestion? Suggest you read para 192 of the Tier 1 policy guidance +carefully+.

Hi Guys,
my friend applied for his HSMP in 2007 and he is from same college same course. He got a letter from college confirming his studies were in english medium and got his HSMP Visa.
Why can I not do the same for my Tier-1 application?

Will a letter from University confirm that the degree is recognised by NARIC as being equivalent to UK bachelors and (also) that its been taught in English language at a standard comparable to level C1 of CEFR??
