I have no problems if all evaluators more or less agree upon the fact that 3-year degrees from India are not equivalent to a 4-year US degree. Or a Bachelor’s + Master’s from India still only amounts to a Bachelor’s in the US. The problem is when one of them says that it is the equivalent of a US degree. Worse still, if one of them deems a foreign Master’s degree as only equivalent of a US Bachelor’s, while another says it is as good as a US Master’s. Whose decision should we follow then? Evaluator 1 or Evaluator 2? This is what I am having a hard time understanding.
That’s a slightly different argument than what I thought you were saying initially and I actually agree with you. That said, to try to change that would be jousting at windmills and I feel like even complaining about it is kind of a waste.
In most reasonable countries, a government agency or government backed entity would have sole authority to determine degree equivalencies. But, to many of my fellow Americans the mere hint of that is socialism. Much better to have one evaluator say that ENEB’s degrees are master’s degrees, another say they are bachelor’s, while a third doesn’t think they even warrant consideration for credit. After all, corporations are now the most important people in America and they need your money a whole lot more than you need it!
