The qualification must:
• be recognised by UK NARIC as equivalent to at least a UK
Bachelor’s degree;

to that of level C1 on the Council of Europe’s Common
European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning,
Teaching, Assessment (CEFR).

What is this level C1 [CEFR]?? is my university letter not sufficient for claiming point. Can you guys please help. i need to apply ASAP. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi ash20,

the best way is to check if your university and degree is recognised in the online points assessment calculator at
http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/pointscalculator.

If the university is recognised, u dont need any letter from NARIC.

But since you already have the letter, it should be fine. Can you share the content of the NARIC letter.

Hi Kaushal, thanks for the reply
Here is NARIC content

What is this level C1 [CEFR]?? is my university letter not sufficient for claiming point.
