Perfect!!

Thanks Amit

One more question:

You also submitted NARIC certificate; as far as I understand if your University is listed the points calculator and you are awarded 10 points by the website, then you do not require NARIC or any certificate.

Please correct if I am wrong?

NARIC certificate is an optional evidence. My university and degree was listed in the points calculated but I just got the certificate just to make a strong case.
