 Kuch din pehlay lums main watchman ki post khali hoi.Pori dunya say acca aur dosray professionals nay apply kia.Test kafi mushkil tha.Practical aur bhi mushkil.Afsos tamam acca walon ko mayos lotna para.Sisf Ajnabi ki kismat jagi.Aajkal woh lums k gate peh baray fakhar say sena tanay kharay hotay hain.Aksar mochon k tao bhi detay hain.Un say bat zara faslay say kerna.Khusay main kat bhi latay hain.

just an observation, it REALLY wont matter after as much u think it would. U got an ACCA? C.A ? MBA from a top uni? superb, now comes into play your organisation and ur skills and then thats what decides how ur gonna do in future.

Now that i am working, its all a whole lot different than i thought it d be. So get done with whatever it is that your doing and work on carrying yourself like proff. , speaking power, presentation and communication skills ... all these matter much more than whats being talked about here!!

Hi,

Check Wikipedia what the difference between Ordinary and Honours Graduate degree. UK Naric tells equivalency of overseas qualifcations
with respect to UK qualification. UK Naric places M.Com./MBA from Pakistan as equal to an Ordinary Graduate degree.

Therefore, the degree from OBU should be equal to atleast a Master's degree/4 years bachelors degree in Pakistan.

It is not only the how many no. of years we study.It is also dependent upon the depth and scope of the syllabus, dependent upon which a qualification is assessed.

Dear Hec has its own rights to rules.ACCA applied for this OBU recognition and HEC recognized it to a 3 years degree because uk authorities also cosider it a 3 years degree.

- shani420 - 02-23-2010

Dear
CFA consider Pakistani Mcom/Mba equal to 4 years US Bachelors degrees and they can start CFA directly.Each country has its own policies.In US Pakistani bachelors and masters(2 years each) get around 120 to 130 credit hours after evaluation(a US CPA told) and Wikipedia say that ACCA get 126 credit hours from WES(after evaluation) so it is nearly equal.

- saleen.super - 02-23-2010

Pakistani M.Com and MBA are considered equivalent to undergrad degree only when you have 2 years Pakistani undergrad degree. If you have 4 years Pakistani undergrad degree and then you proceeded to Masters then you're equivalent to the same level of degrees all around the world.

Since Pakistan doesn't offer 3 years undergrad degree I don't understand why would HEC consider OBU BSc. as equivalent to 3 years degree. It means if a guy graduated from Oxford University or LSE with 3 years undergrad will have to do a diploma in Pakistan to be equivalent to Pakistani undergrad degree? Not possible.

i had once inquired about the no. of credit hours this degree has. i am sharing the reply here, just for info

Thank you for your email.

The BSc degree programme is worth between 360 / 375 credits and is a full undergraduate degree. If you are referring to credit hours or CAT points please refer to the link below;
http//www.brookes.ac.uk/studying/applications/credit_transfer

Therefore a completed undergraduate degree is worth 120 CATS

yes Saleen,
Pakistani 4 years degrees r considered equal to 4 years degrees all around the world.
I wish HEC consider this bsc equal to pakistani 4 years as I am also planning to have.I shall talk to hec official(a relative) and ask him the real scenerio.

120-130 credit hours is what a Pakistani 4 years undergrad degree worth. So I'm sure now that HEC can never equate it less than 4 years.
Thanks for sharing the info, Rabia.

ya sure I shall call him soon.He earlier told me that ACCA's equivalency is also under consideration.HEC recognize ICAP and ICMAP qualifications equal to masters.It may also consider full ACCA and others equal to masters but it will take some time.
