A letter issued in 1975 may be of no use at all. A lot could have changed in 35 years!!anandpathak wrote:I have requested for Re-assesment with letter from AIU , which i had got from NITIE, this letter was issued by AIU in year 1975
Thanks a lot Mr. Mehta for the valuable input. I will definately investigate in this directions. My institute NITIE Mumbai is a governed by Government of India under ministry of HRD and very similar to IIMs and IITs and about 40 year old.My course itself is 35 year old. The problem is AIU issues letter only once and that also not to an individual but to the institute. I am sure you are aware of the working of Govt organization and Govt institutes especially in Indiasushdmehta wrote:A letter issued in 1975 may be of no use at all.

If NARIC uses AIU's publication as a reference for determining comparable UK standard for qualifications awared by Indian institutions, then they would be periodically re-assessing the qualifications based on the AIU publication current at the time re-assessment. The current (latest) publication is the University Handbook - 31st Edition. You need to find out (all) the details of your course / qualification as published in the latest University Handbook - the handbook doesn't only list member institutions but also contains detailed information about the course structure, duration, examination information etc. etc. All this information is taken into account by NARIC when it assesses any foreign qualification.
Likewise, if you wish to submit a letter from AIU, I believe, NARIC will only be satisified with a letter from AIU issued in the recent past .... not the one from 1975.
Nevertheless, I hope things go your way. All the best.

. But i will definately give it a try requesting NITIE to get a fresh letter from AIU and wait for 2-3 month as i dont have any other option. As I mentioned above, I believe that re-assessment(s) are a regular feature and happens for valid reason(s). But I am neither aware of the how and the why!! I believe NARIC has strong relationships with similar organiations in different countries (e.g. - like AIU in India) that ensures regular and mutual exchange of information / updates about various qualifications from the respective countries ... so NARIC might not be dependent on just the publications (which my earlier message might seem to suggest) and therefore able to re-categorize qualifications as and when NARIC becomes aware of changes in "qualifying parameters" - whatever they are!anandpathak wrote:how can NARIC assess the same course in two diffrent level in a span of 7 months ( Feb 2009 and dec 2009) . When i enquired with NARIC they said.."Unfortunately it has happened but your assesment seems to be correct , you may file for a review if u wish"
It will only give you the information about the various courses (including yours) at AIU member universities. Not how NARIC determines the comparable UK standard for any listed qualification. Nevertheless, see AIU Order Form.anandpathak wrote:Could you please share where can i get the mentioned university handbook 31st edition.
