I have done a 3.5-year MBA after my Bachelor /14-year schooling, is it equivalent to an MS/MPhil?

Answer:   Yes, as per Roadmap for Business Education, a 3.5-year MBA degree (minimum 90-96 credit hours with 07 regular semesters excluding summer semesters) after Bachelor/14-year schooling is generally recognized by HEC as equivalent to an MS/MPhil degree involving 18-year of schooling in the relevant field. However, the equivalence of degrees is determined by HEC on an individual basis upon submission of the application along with all original documents and fees.
