Dear Sir,
I have an IT diploma [DOEACC B-Level]from DOEACC Society [A scientific society under Ministry of Communications and Information Technology-www.doeacc.edu.in]that is recognized as equivalent to Master degree by Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India. A notification in this regard has already been sent by MHRD. The professional qualification has been acquired in full-time mode in 5.5 years after 10+2.
Some Recognitions of B-Level:-
1) MCA by Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India
2) B.S. (Computer Science) in USA from an accredited institution/university
3) Applied Bachelors in Canada - Canadian Community Colleges
4) B.Sc(Hons) [4 year] in UK [King's College London - World Rank 24th and having 8 nobel laureates]
5) Accepted for PhD in BioInformatics by University of Sussex - UK.
6) IT Engineer in Japan [Higher than an University Engineering Graduate]
7) Certified IT Project Manager Associate in Singapore [Singapore Computer Society]
8) Accepted for M.Tech in Indian Statistical Institute, IIIT-Bangalore, IIIT-Hyderabad, IIT-Kharagpur, IIT-Guwahati
9) Eligible for PhD in MIS in IIM Kolkata.
10) Eligible for CAT conducted by IIMs
11) Eligible for GATE conducted by IISc and IITs
[I have all the documents with me]
It has come to my notice that a handful of private companies are openly disregarding the notification of MHRD and are not allowing students [my juniors] to sit for technical/HR tests for employment in these companies on the pretext that these companies donot recognize DOEACC qualifications. When my juniors have demanded a written document why they[companies] donot recognize the qualification, the companies are unable to produce any such documents.
Is this a case of discrimination?
