WES Approved University List

The Educational Credentials Assessment (ECA) of western countries is very different from that of India. WES or World Education Services, a designated provider for IRCC since 2013, helps international students to assess their degrees, diplomas, or certificates as per the Canadian System of Education. WES will provide you with a report that will help you claim points related to education. In simpler terms, they help you assess your Indian degree in the form of the Canadian Credit system.

WES helps 45000+ international students every year to assess their education allocates in Canadian format.

WES is not only used by Canada but is also required in the United States of America, the UK, and even Australia. ECA is required in all these countries.

WES is a very trusted source as it refers to UGC, govt entities, and AICTE as a source of accreditation.

What are the benefits of WES?

WES evaluation is one of the most important “steps” if you are considering immigrating to Canada or the USA for a postgraduate degree.

If you have attained an undergraduate-level education from a country outside of the USA or Canada, you will require an ECA or Educational Credential Assessment. WES is one of the organizations that provide these facilities by converting the credits of an undergraduate program from an Indian University into the USA or Canadian credit system. This makes the selection process much easier and helps check the credibility of the program the foreign student has done.

These 16 years are divided into 12 years of school, middle, school, and senior secondary education, while the remaining 4 are for the undergraduate degree/program. You must have a 4-year bachelor’s degree or equivalent or a total of 4 years of undergraduate education (3-year degree plus 1-year diploma). Although some institutions do not require a 4-year undergraduate-level education, all the major institutes and the top-rated universities will ask for 4 years or equivalent degrees.
