    Machan, I am thinking of getting either one of above 2 qualifications. Can you guys tell me what's the best out of two? As far as I know BCS is exam based while HND is assignment based. What should I choose? What qualification provides best opportunities for overseas study migration? What are the best institutes?

    thanks.
     
    BCS is considered as a degree equivalent qualification and HND is a diploma. If you want a degree qualification it is better to do BCS. But once you complete a HND, you can a do top up degree programme. It depends on the HND you are doing. I do not know about overseas study migrations. But you can join a degree programme even in Sri Lanka.
    For BCS Esoft (Colombo) is good for me. I have done BCS @ Esoft, I do not know about HNDs.

    Thanks Buddy. Classes are ok with Esoft. Can you tell me how to register for the program with BCS? Should I do it before taking classes? BCS office is at Colombo 7 right? I think applications ends on January 2015.

    If you go to a course provider like Esoft, you do not have to worry about registration. They will do everything for you. When the exams come closer they will notify you everything.

    HND eka karapan mchn. Then you can follow a top up degree

    Thanks Machan. I don't think local universities(Colombo or Moratuwa) offer any top up degrees for HND. Am I right? In that case I'd have to go for an overseas university. So its very important to choose a good institute which facilitate overseas studies. What institutes do you prefer?
