Yes engineering in english

Then get evidence from NARIC that it is comparable to an English bachelors degree, a letter from the insitiution to say it was taught in English and the degree transcirpt (showing degree awarded).

My degree certificate itself is in english are you sure I need get a letter from institution stating I studied in english surely they will laugh at me.
When I put the points calculator(pbs) my university is reflecting in there and I get 10 points I hope this is done based on naric database , now where I can know if that is equivalent to level B1 which is the requirement from oct 13

Hi ,

Go to NARIC website and look for english assessment .. you have to pay additional £ 56.00 for english language equivalance ...

dont think NARIC cert is needed especially if Uni name shows up on UKBA & you have used it to claim english language points earlier BUT havent been in that situation myself personally

Makes sense so I need get a assessment from Naric to find equivalence of my degree to level of english , i think instead of paying 56 pound for an assessment think it is better to write a PET test? Any suggestion which is cheaper?

all bachelor level courses taught in english are above the B1/B2 level, jus speak to some immigration adviser to get a confirmation if your overseas bachelor degree taught in english which you have already used in previous LTR applications is sufficient for the requirement

Thank you will post once I get confirmation or further inputs

Hi Mahajagadesh,

Hope you have already done with ILR process.

Could you please let me know have you done the B1 test or Letter from UKNARIC. As I am in the same situation.

Many thanks.
