If your only goal is a modest CRS bump from an additional Canadian credential, group members suggested going for a low-cost postgraduate (PG) diploma rather than a full program.
Options shared by members:- PG diploma in a relevant field (e.g., computer science) if you want it to double as career-relevant, or a general option like PG diploma in business administration if the goal is purely CRS points.
- PG diploma via IGNOU — mentioned as a cheap option that is also recognized by WES for credential evaluation.
- Annamalai University — flagged as having low base tuition, though members noted transcript/evaluation fees (around CAD/₹5,700 in their experience) add to the real cost, so check total cost, not just tuition.
Before enrolling: confirm the specific diploma is WES-eligible for ECA purposes, since only WES (or another IRCC-designated body) can convert it into CRS-countable credential points.
