✅ What is WES?
WES (World Education Services) is a globally recognized credential evaluation agency that plays a crucial role in helping students and professionals validate their Indian academic qualifications abroad. If you’re planning to study, work, or immigrate to another country, WES makes your Indian degree equivalent and understandable to international institutions and employers—especially in countries like:
Canada
USA
UK
Australia
New Zealand
Having your degree evaluated by WES not only gives your academic credentials global recognition but also boosts your chances of success when applying for:
- Higher education in foreign universities
- Work permits and jobs in multinational companies
- Immigration & PR programs, especially Canada’s Express Entry system
- Professional licensing and registration in regulated industries
If your qualification is from a WES-recognized Indian online and distance education university, the process is smoother and faster. WES evaluates transcripts, verifies authenticity, and issues an official equivalency report that government bodies, universities, and employers across the globe accept.
Whether you are a student aiming for a Master’s degree in Canada or a professional seeking PR in Australia, WES certification can be your first step toward global opportunities.
Why Choose a WES Approved Distance University?
Global Degree Recognition: Your Indian Online and DIstance degree is evaluated and recognized internationally, making it equivalent to degrees awarded in countries like Canada, the USA, UK, Australia, and more.
Valid for Higher Studies Abroad: WES evaluation helps you meet admission requirements for top universities and colleges worldwide, especially for postgraduate programs.
Accepted by International Employers: Many global companies and recruitment agencies accept WES reports to assess your educational background for job opportunities abroad.
Canada PR – Express Entry Eligible: A WES-verified degree adds points to your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, increasing your chances of qualifying for Canada’s Express Entry immigration pathway.
How to Check If Your Distance Degree is WES Approved?
- Visit: www.wes.org: Go to the official World Education Services website to start your credential evaluation process.
- Navigate to the “Required Documents” section: This section provides detailed information on the documents you need to submit based on your country and level of education.
- Select “India” as your country of education: This ensures WES shows you the correct guidelines specific to Indian universities and institutions.
- Search for your university name: Use the search bar to check if your university is recognized by WES. Only degrees from WES-approved or recognized institutions are eligible for evaluation.
- Check the list of acceptable degree types: Make sure your degree type (e.g., Bachelor’s, Master’s, PG Diploma) is accepted for evaluation. Some diploma or private university degrees may not be accepted, so this step is crucial.
- Understand the document submission process: Learn whether your university needs to send transcripts directly to WES or if they accept documents in sealed envelopes. Follow the instructions carefully to avoid delays.
