Hi,

All degrees obtained outside of U.S have to be verified by the NACES, that is the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services. Whether your Bachelor's degree from India is recognised here as a US Bachelors equivalent or not is done by this agency.

When you apply to any university here, they will ask you to first get your credentials evaluated by any member of the NACES. NACES has many members listed in its site (like ECE, whose sample report shows a degree from Kanpur Univ, India , being evaluated) and you can go to to the site of any member and check what they need to verify your credentials. They will need your marksheets from high school till the last degree, your resume (may be) and also may ask for your work exp related docs. Some do ask that but all of them ask for the degree certificates/marks. They prepare a report that specifies whether you are eligible to undertake a Masters degree in the US based on that. You need to send that report to the university you are applying to.

I have approached some universities and all of them have asked me to get my credentials evaluated first and foremost. Most univs also ask for a TOEFL score (TOEFL iBT), although some may waive that if you can prove that you are proficient in English.That depends on the univs discretion. Many indian students have done it.

To anyone who wants to know whether your Indian Bachelors degree is sufficient or not, please approach NACES. Thats the first step and the univ itself will ask you to get it done anyways.

Ladies,

I have a Masters from India and intend to do another Masters here some times next year I did a degree equivalency evaluation for US.

I was wondering would it be of any beneficial to get my transcript in a sealed envelope with registrar seal on it from India. Is it really worthy to go through?

Thanks in advance.

Hi friends

My name is pallavi and i am new to this community. I just want to know that i have given GRE and my score is is 1320 but i have not given TOEFL yet.I don't know futher processing for applying in an university. As i am on H4 visa and i stay in Los angelos CA so i do not want to go outside LA to study. Can anyone pls suggest me any good universities in LA and what is application process to apply.I would be very thankful for that.

I think UCLA is a good University.Just google and you will find links also for other Universities in and around LA and in all the University website, they have given all the details regarding when to apply etc.If you have any doubts, mail them and they would reply within a day or you can call them.They would help you with every query you have.Good Luck.

I am on h1 and am trying to take up MS . i have GRE and planning to take IELTS (as advised by the univ) .
Am facing a problem here : the univ wants my degree (Btech) to be evaluated by an agency. that agency is asking me to send Sealed envelope containing copies of my transcripts attested by the Registrar of my undergrad college.

they are strict on this. They are not accepting any notarized copies of my transcripts. What do i do ?

Since i have no plans of going to india now or for another 1 year. am stuck.

How did u people manage this ? any suggestions or ideas ?

Hi Ranchu,

I'm not sure if I'm late on this, but I would suggest you get someone in India to approach your university registrar, and request attested copies of your transcripts in a sealed envelope, and get them to mail it to you.

I know that some Engineering universities in India send you consolidated, attested transcripts for a fee, provided you give them photocopies of your marks sheets so that they can retrieve your records. It should be possible to get all this done without traveling to India.

Hope it helps,

Cheers,
