If you already hold a bachelor's degree you can easily pass

Do you have it?

If not, talk to your university to give some sort of Provisional certificate stating you have completed the degree by february 2008 itself & a letter that final degree will be given on march, and try with it, Thats the only option. Hope caseworker wont be that harsh for extension application like in initial applications

You still have one more option

If you are 100% sure that the point 75 is unattainable, then now ask your employer to sponser your workpermit now itself and switch to work permit from HSMP

This has to be done soon , since home office given this grace period only for some time.

Nope I dont hold any degree

what I have been told is that PGDBA is higher than bachelors degree, can I get it evailuated from NRIC or some professional recognising body
