I did not have UKNARIC certificate. All they asked me was to get Points based calculator final pdf showing UK English assessment. It will contain some 7 pages to show your each section qualification in the PBS assessment. NCS checked with UKBA directly and confirmed this is sufficient. They were kind enough to give time for me to get it and then finished the application process.

So better book early for that days appointment. Good Luck
