Hi Guys,

My name is Ronit and I am from India.
Profile :
GMAT: 650
Work-ex : 2.5 years. Will be 3+ before sep,2018 intake.
+Experience of family business- 1 year
+ Volunteer work- 2 well known NGOs in India

I want to apply in the following universities:
1: Ryerson
2: York (schulich)
3: McMaster
4: McGill
5: Wilfrid

I think I have a strong profile, but my concern is that I have graduated from Delhi University (A well know indian university) - Economics honors and the degree in DU is of 3 years. Which makes my total education - 15 Years.
Will this be an issue in the Canadian universities?

Yes. Surely you have read on there admission requirements web pages that they require a four year degree?

It depends from school to school. I remember talking with Schulich, McGill, HEC Montreal, JMSB back in 2011/12. I can't recollect correctly - but Schulich may accept 3 year, while JMSB has a strict 4 year policy. You may want to get your degrees evaluated from WES, or ask adcom if that will help your cause.

I think you should explore Canadian PR via Express Entry, this would - in theory - make your life and job hunting easier.

I am from New Delhi, so I know how reputable DU is. Many schools in US accept 3 yr degree, some don't.
Your best bet is to go with what their adcom has said. In some cases you'll be able to find such answers under their admission FAQs.

That's interesting. So do Rotman and Schulich take students with only 15 years of education?

Thank you for finding this out! Also I have 15 years of education and I am interested in going to the Rotman MBA. Did you also confirm with McGill?

Hey. Just got in touch with the admission team of all the universities. Only 2 schools have a strict rule of 16 years of education- Telfer and JMSB.
Others- Some accept 15 years of education, and some accept it given that the university is ranked "A" or above by NAAC. I have graduated from S.G.T.B Khalsa, DU and it has been graded 3.41 (A Grade) by NAAC, so ya I am safe there.

Read the thread and contact the schools.

It's really best to contact the schools, because many will be aware of the different education systems around the world but may not actually include all of their requirements based on individual countries, on their websites.
