Education Query for HSMP

i did my BE electronics from Shivaji university, Maharastra, India
so for claiming points i am submiting my original Degree certificate which clearly states

my full name,- Sudip Bagchi
date of award, - 1st feb 2003
title of the award - BE electronics
name of the awarding institution -shivaji university, maharastra, India

The guidance notes doesnt say we need to provide anything else apart from the Original degree certificate in normal case for claiming points under Qualification section (NOT considering exceptional cases)

Do i need to provide any other documents like my 4year original marksheets or transcripts ?
Does anyone among members from shivaji university applied & got through with just providing original degree certificate

Senior members Please advise urgently.

Thanks in advance
Sudip

You dont need to supply anything. Most india degrees are UK equivalent and yours is 4 year so no problem. But I assume the degree is AICTE approved.

Thanks for the reply.Yes it is AICTE approved.

Sudip,

You need to provide the following for your education points:

1. Original Degree Certificate.
2. Naric Equivalence comparison (it is not mandatory, but would recommend it as people got rejection i absence of the same..check the link below

)

Good Luck.

Original Degree Certificate; AND
Original Degree Marksheets or Transcript
NARIC letter of comparability. (Not mandatory but preffered.)

hi all,
can someone please advise if the difference between name on degree as in mother's maiden name appended against my name will cause any issues in applying for tier 1 general visa?

i got the degree from Shivaji university in march 2006 for the BE (CSE) completed in 2005.

Hi Sudip,

Did you apply for Tier1 or UK NARIC, If yes then please do let me know as me too from Shivaji University.

It will cause problem. Get the name in your degree corrected. If you want to take a chance, and provided the University agrees, you might otherwise want to get a letter from the University that name of your mother has been appended to your name. Get this letter on Univ's original letterhead. The letter should clearly indicate the name of the person to whom the degree has been awarded, name of the qualification, year etc. etc. Attach original transcripts too and explain everything in the covering letter.

Given the risk (of rejection) involved and the hassle of putting together all this, the safer and smoother way would be to get the degree certificate re-issued with correct name.
