<br />Hi all,
UK Naric confirmed to me when i was in UK that MBA/M.Com. from Pakistan is equal to ORDINARY BACHELORS that is of 2 years, not even equal to Honours degree of UK.On the basis of it if HEC is considering B.Sc. Hons. degree from OBU equal to a 3 years Graduate degree then it's a bull ****!
Always compare the degree internationally. I have sent my degree to Harvard Business School, Stanford Graduate School of Business and London Business School. The degree were welcomed by them for MBA programme.
Moreover what ranking LUMS have got in Financial Times MBA 2010 rankings? I personally think that instead of getting admission into LUMS we should get the MBA from Oxford Brookes University which is valued more than LUMS.
Although the degree of OBU is not recognised by HK-CPA and i am not confirmed about US-CPA.
Commerce field have got this acceptance in UK which can be different for other educational fields.
A strongest case can be raised against HEC due to their acceptance of degree from OBU as of equal to 3 year degree. Which is particulary true because intially they were not even recognising that degree and that was regarded a complete bull crap as well from HEC.

dear,
how come uk naric tell u that Pakistani Mcom/MBA is equal to a 2 year bachelors in uk.There r no 2 years bachelors degree in Uk.They r equal to 3 years Uk bachelors.Pakistani master degree holders r accepted in master program in uk.
Besides HKICPA australian CPA also does not recognize this OBU degree.
As far as US CPA , their specific requirement is 120 to 150 credit hours(very few states with 120 crh) including few hours in accounting and business.Maqzaman a member of this forum(also a US CPA) told here that a Pakistani 2yrs bachelors and 2 years master get around 120 to 130 credit hours if evaluated.Even full ACCA gets around 126 credit hours(according to wikipedia) and if one get ACCA c hours then dependent degrees (bsc obu) r not considered.
But it is good that Us universities(as u stated) r accepting this degree for their masters.
