7 yrs in IT+B.Tech in Metallurgy(Will it be a deterrent?)

[panky922]

Hello All,

I have a B.Tech degree in Metallurgy from a Indian Engg School and 7 years of work experience in the IT field. I am claiming to have a graduate level work experience for 5 years of my career and 2 years of senior level work experience after that where i worked as a Project Manager.

I have studied 3 computer subjects and 4 Math subjects in My Engineering degree. But will this metallurgy degree cause a doubt in the minds of HSMP official regarding my capability to work as a software professional.

In my first job, i worked as an Associate Consultant with a Citigroup company in the financial services domain. I will be able to get a letter statiing my work responsiblities from my employer.

So, my qn - what else can i do to answer this doubt in the mind of HSMP officials ?

Thanks So Much

Your B Tech degree should not cause any problems at all. What counts is whether you can prove that your work experience has been at a graduate level. If this is OK you will be able to claim points for both education and experience.

dont send your trascript with the application, so caseworker wont be able to go in much detail about the courses you have had. Caseworkers award point against your final degree, not against trascripts.

sorry for the delay and thanks so much for your inputs. But is it definite that "Transcripts are not mandatory".
