Applying tomorrow

[hiteshdargan]

Hi

I am applying tomorrow for my Tier 1 general from India, i am still left with two doubts

1) My PGDBM is there on the PBS calculator but is being awarded zero points, I have obtained a NARIC letter which confirms the PGDBM to be equivalent to masters. Which option should i select in the self assessment calculator out of the following
- qualification on point based calculator
- qualification not on the point based calculator but a UK NARIC letter enclosed

2) My original certificate does not have a date of award, it only mentions the year. Do i need to put in a letter from institute mentioning the date of award, as per my understanding the date of award will be the date on which the final result was declared? Please confirm

You have already discussed this matter here.

Guidance says degree must show date of award. To be on safe side you can submit a letter from University or any other transcripts/letter/notifications for your degree mentioning the date of award.

are as follows:
i) Original certificate of award of the qualification. This document must be the original (not a copy) and must clearly show the:
• applicant’s name;
• title of the award;
• date of the award; and
• name of the awarding institution.
We will not accept original provisional certificates.

I have a letter from my institute stating that the course started in july 2003 and was completed in may 2005. Will this do, because i doubt that they will issue a letter with exact dates

If they can give letter with exact dates it would be better, otherwise attach this letter and explain in cover letter. Anyway, you are going to give your institute's address, so if they have any doubt they will contact your institute.

Hi

I am claiming my earnings from 1 october 08 - 30 september 09.

The problem i am facing is that in November 08, on 20th i have been transferred a conveyance reimbursment ( this is not a part of my salary) which is reflecting in the bank statement as salary.

At the end of the month i have been transferred my salary and that matches my salary slip for november 08.

I have not included the reimbursment in previous earnings, do i need to give an explanation for this reimbursment entry reflecting in the statement as salary

Yes, you can give explaination in cover letter about it. If you have some notification from your employer, you may also include that. Anyway, this would not be a problem as you are not claiming that money.

No, you do not need that. It is okay. The proof was issued within one month before the date of application, so there should be no problem.
