work experience and engineering graduation different
Hi,
I have an query regarding Australian skilled visa immigration.
My 4 years undergraduate degree is Electronics and Communication Engineering.
I have 7 years of work experience as an Software Engineer in IT firm which is not related with my under graduation. Please let me know if I am eligible to apply for Job code : software engineer 261313 through ACS.
Thanks,
Manu

They also have a guide to the different occupation codes, and what skills you need to have to qualify for that code.
Have you had a look at their site?

I think it depends on the CDR that you write. For example my degree is mechanical engineer but my job experience was mostly in civil engineering, when writing my CDR I highlighted the points that I could somehow relate to mechanical engineer, and I got accepted pretty quickly.

No, the ACS criteria is a mix of qualifications and experience. If you have a degree with ICT major closely related to your nominated occupation, you only need 2 years experience in the last 10 years (or 4 years at any time) to be deemed skilled. If you do not have an ICT degree, you need 6 years experience plus a successful RPL. All experience required to be deemed skilled is not skilled employment, and therefore does not earn points with DIBP. ACS summary criteria here - https://more.acs.org.au/__data/asset...teria-2014.pdf
