World Education Services (WES) is a private organisation recognised by most universities and employers across the globe.

Applying blindly to colleges and universities will only cause you to spend thousands of rupees on admission fees. If you are aware of what your GPA is and your educational standing baggage (history of where what and when you studied), you can make an informed decision and apply only to those places where there is a maximum chance of acceptance.
You first need to check if the college you are applying for requires a WES evaluation and of which type.
Depending upon the universities or your need, you can choose the evaluation package that most suits your need.
There are two types of evaluations:
First you need to apply online for a WES application number and choose the package you wish to go for.
You then need to mail your educational documents citing the WES REFERENCE NUMBER.
All envelopes and correspondence must include your WES reference number or they won’t be evaluated.
WES then evaluates your documents and creates an official report.
Based on the package chosen, WES will then share the report with the universities.
