You guys would perhaps miss a vital point.
Degrees achieved on basis of exemptions are OK for resume, business cards, or to tell potential employers, but NOT for further education where evaluators assess actual courses taken in that degree.
For example if one gets a masters degree from Pakistan on the basis of exemption through any professional association, but later on applies for any other masters program in USA, would most likely not be able to get admission based on that degree.
So, I always suggest students to get degrees by actual exam sittings, such as by passing private MA Economics exams, because then that degree satisfies the pre-requisite course requirements or credit hour requirements of next degree or qualification. At-least the students who intend to come to North America (specially with intention to study further) should get their base degrees this way, NOT by exemption.
Sit in private BCom and MA Economics exams etc. Private or regular does not matter much, but actual exam sitting does.
