NARIC required for Bachelor Degree ?....Imp Query

Hi Friends,

I did my Bachelors from Gujarat University with specialization in chemistry.

I am planning to apply for HSMP by 15th May 07, and at present preparing my documents. I have a doubt whether its compulsory to evaluate the bachelors degree too from NARIC for finding whether its equivalent to UK bachelors or not ?..

I have not done the NARIC evaluation for Bachelors and hence planning to apply as it is with my original degree certificate. I tried reading the HO Guideline atleast three times very carefully and no were it emphasizes on getting the NARIC done for bachelors degree.

Please share ur experiences, suggestions and advise. Please friends help me.....

NARIC NOT Required for you.
Hear from others too.

Hi,

NARIC is not necessary but I would recommend you to have it. This will save some efforts for HO and it will help to process the your application faster. If you do not provide NARIC with application, HO will anyway confirm from NARIC which will delay your result.

I applied with NARIC and my approval came in 3 weeks whereas other people applied with me still waiting for their decision.

Hear from other senior members as well.

Hi Chetan,
Thanks for sharing the valuable information of ur personal experience . It looks I did a mistake of sending only my Professional Qualification for NARIC evaluation and not the bachelors degree. Anyway as soon as I decide to do it , i will make the online payment and fax the degree copy.

But , one thing is for sure..........its not mandatory right ? It can only delay the decision but not get rejected right ?

You are right.
It is not mandatory. But HSMP Guidance state that you should provide enough evidence to show that your Degree is Equivalent to the UK degree,
under qualification section.

Although many people i know applied without it and still got approval.I do not think it is mandatory.

Good Luck.
