Nope I am afraid, unless you know someone from your university and department who has gone into the process.

Go for NARIC it just cost you around £35.

NARIC defenitley will not release their database to public, because they will not get revenue from degree assesment if the database available to public.

From what has been reported in these forums, it is important to include the NARIC assessement letter in your application. While you might know that the degree is acredited, a caseworker can easily make an error and deny it.

HSMP Guidance Annex 3 : Qualifications, basically implies that they require the NARIC letter. A couple of folk from these forums have already lost out by not haveing the physical letter.... even a refrence number is often not good enough

Pakistani Masters degree from HEC regonised institute is considered equal to British Bachelors degree.

Pakistani 4 years bachelors degree is considered equal to British bachelors degree.

Paksitani 2 years bachelors degree is equal to 1st year of British bachelors degree.

Not sure about 3 years bachelors degree...

To get the list of HEC regonised institutes please visit Higher Education Commission offical web site.

Hope this helps.

I think you probably have misunderstood.
What is recognised in Pakistan it is not necessarily recognised in the UK. Unless they have bilateral/mutual agreeement.

So in my opinion do not take it for granted, go ofr NARIC better loose around £35 (+3 weeks) rather then loose £350 and then time to reapply again which could take you 5 months.
