Unfortunately you cannot do any local degrees like that. You'll have to look for some institutes that do UK degrees locally. And why do you don't want to the PGD level exams? Any reason? And BCS HEQ is now recognised by UGC as a BS.c. equivalent qualification.

Mama BS.c. ekak atha arala thamai BCS kare. I'm not sure about institutes, ACBT,ICBT,ESoft maybe SLIIT. Just ask about in those institutes.

The problem of that approach is you may not be able to go straight into the final year of a degree program. If the subjects you choose for BCS do not cover some modules in that degree program you will have to do those again. So instead of sitting just the final year modules you'll have to spend extra time on other modules and could lead to 2 years instead of 1 for the final year.

Well. For Bsc(Hons) Degree in Computing PIBT asked me 350,000 for a year. ICBT is same price. But IDM is 250,000. I am in the same situation. And I have no money at this moment. So I don't know what to do.

But it is not a Academic qualification. And most employers don't know about BCS. And you can't apply for Msc except UK some universities and Sri Lanka. It is best thing to go for final year UK degree after BCD Diploma.

 

[gunemalli]

Hmmm... I don't know of other stuff. Anyways here's the cost breakdown of BCS

Written Examination Entry

Certificate in IT (fee per module) £40
Diploma in IT (fee per module) £45
Professional Graduate Diploma in IT (fee per module) £85


Professional Project Submission (Optional)

Diploma in IT Level £75
Professional Graduate Diploma in IT Level £105

-----------------------------------

So these are the total fees:
Certificate - £40 x 3 = £120 ~ LKR 22,200
Diploma - £45 x 4 = £180 ~ LKR 33,300
PGD - £85 x 4 = £340 ~ LKR 62,900
Total Exam Fees = £640 ~ LKR 118,400

Mae exam fees witharai. Tuition fees or course fees will come at around another LKR100,000-150,000 for the full course.

So if you're doing the full BCS HEQ program your total cost would be no more than LKR 300,000.

No brother you're wrong. Employers have a great recognition towards BCS. If you say they don't know then they must be not in the IT trade.

Yes it is a Professional qualification and not an Academic qualification. But you'll be surprised that professional qualification outweigh academic qualification and employers prefer people with professional qualification over academics.

This is an email I got from the BCS Sri Lanka section:

Dear Member

Season's Greetings !

I am sure you will be pleased to hear about the UGC (University Grants Commission) approval given for BCS Higher Education Qualification and the Membership as an entry qualification for various Masters Degree programmes as below.

a) Professional Membership of BCS is accepted as an entry qualification for a Masters degree in IT.
b) Professional Graduate Diploma with Project of BCS is accepted as an entry qualification for the Master’s degree in Computer Science.
c) Professional Graduate Diploma of the BCS with Project and a minimum of two years post qualification relevant experience are accepted as an entry qualification for Post Diploma or Maters Degree.

Also, I am pleased to announce that students in Jaffna are now able to sit for examinations in Jaffna rather than travelling to Colombo/Kandy from the next examination sitting (April 2011) onwards.


Best wishes !

So if you want to do any masters program in IT in Sri Lanka, with BCS you can start one. Also you comment

And you can't apply for Msc except UK some universities and Sri Lanka.

is totally wrong. who gave you this idea? All UK universities accept BCS as a Higher Education Qualification, and you can apply for any course with the right credentials.

The real fact is that BCS is the governing body for IT courses in UK universities and all universities try to make their courses meet the BCS standards. After starting my MSc here in UK, i've heard all my lecturers tell this at one time or the other. So i don't see point you said above is true.

And oh, it was the Sri Lankan Uni's that had a problem with BCS and not the UK Uni's.

wrong machan you have wrong attitude towards BCS HEQ. BCS is accepted in UGC SL Now most of the universities accept BCS as a qualification to Masters. Don't you see Sunday news papers ? Employers ask PROFESSIONAL qualification rather than academic(In real ICT employers never care about academic qualification They only need experience & professional qualification- I am telling this by personal experience )!!!!!!!!!!! So if you want to be a teacher you better do academic stuff!!! If you want more info you can check http://www.bcs.org The best thing is now BCS is the ONLY charted institute for IT for whole world. If some one says (Employer) that he don't know about BCS you better give him a lecture of general knowledge in ICT

I am doing it matrix (PGD) machan I really can't say what is the best institute because it depends entirly on the teacher that is going to teach. These days they change very frequently Matrix to IDM , Esoft to IDM, Esoft to Marix like wise so I really can't recomend a institute because of that. If you can refer information about the teacher whose going to do the subject & choose the institute is the best thing
Wish you all the best for your future exams
