NOTE: Most of the Universities in Italy now accept CIMEA comparability certificate as an alternate of Declaration of Value (DOV).

FOR APPLICANTS WHO OBTAINED QUALIFICATION IN THE PROVINCE OF SINDH AND BALOCHISTAN

Some Italian universities may require the Declaration of Value (DoV) as a mandatory part of the admission documents, instead of accepting the CIMEA Statement of Comparability.

It is therefore strongly recommended to contact the Italian university directly to confirm the specific documentation requirements for enrollment.
