Dear @MysticRiver and other friends,

I have some queries regarding my upcoming ACS (education and work experience) assessment, which I'll be submitting later this month.

I've done lot of experimentation in the past (job changes, masters degree between jobs), which has slightly complicated the matters. Sometimes, I've been unlucky too, but anyways can't allow these things to ruin my Australia PR chances now.

-----

Firstly, I completed my full time 4-year Bachelor's Degree (B.E. Computer Science) from August 1998- May 2002 in India.

<<<After that, a job that I did between May 2002 and Feb 2004 is not relevant to 261313 / 261111 codes so omitting it here>>>

My Relevant work experience is as follows:
Company 1: Feb-2004 to Aug-2005 [1Y 6M]=18M in Software Testing profile (related ANZSCO code 261313: Software Engineer )
Company 2: Aug-2005 to June-2008 [2Y 11M]=35M in Software Testing profile (related ANZSCO code 261313: Software Engineer )
Company 3: July-2008 to January-2009 [0Y 7M]=7M in Software Testing profile (related ANZSCO code 261313: Software Engineer )

<<<After that I completed my full-time 2-year Masters Degree (M. Tech. Computer Science) during 2009-11 in India>>>

Company 4: June-2011 to March-2012 [0Y 9M]=9M in Software Testing profile (related ANZSCO code 261313: Software Engineer )
Company 5: March-2012 to Sep-2013 [1Y 6M]=18M in Software Testing profile (related ANZSCO code 261313: Software Engineer )

<<<After that, I was not doing job from Oct 2013 to Nov 2014 (1Y 2M) due to some personal issues>>>

Company 6: Dec-2014 to March-2019 [4Y 4M] [NOT in Software Testing profile] (however I believe my job responsibilities can to some extent be mapped to ANZSCO code 261111: ICT Business Analyst ).
<<<Above company 6 job was a project based contractual (ICT) job in Analyst profile though no software Development/Testing work was involved. The project ended in March 2019 and currently I'm looking out for a new job opportunity again.>>>


My Total work experience from Software Testing profiles (Companies 1-5 and ANZSCO code 261313: Software Engineer) is 7Y 3M (87M).
My Total work experience from Company 6 job profile (ANZSCO code 261111: ICT Business Analyst ) is 4Y 4M (52M).

My queries:
1. As per information provided in this thread, if I go for ACS evaluation (under code 261313) with following combination:

A) Companies 1-5 with Software Testing profile job responsibilities
B) Company 6 with Analyst profile job responsibilities

then 4 years will be deducted and I'll be left with 3Y3M effective experience. This will fetch me 5 points as per ACS evaluation criteria (5 points for 3-5 years of experience). Please let me know if this understanding is correct.

2. If I go for ACS evaluation (this time under code 261111) but again with following combination:

A) Companies 1-5 with Software Testing profile job responsibilities
B) Company 6 with Analyst profile job responsibilities

then again 4 years will be deducted and I'll be left with only 4M (4 months) effective experience. This will fetch me 0 points as per ACS evaluation criteria (0 points for <3 years of experience). Please let me know if this understanding is correct.


Based on correctness of above understanding, I may decide my future course of action.

Thanks,
Mohit

If your degree is considered as ICT major with closely relevant to your occupation (either of the codes), your 2 years will be deducted overall not 4 years but if it is not closely related then 4 years will be deducted. Based on that, if you go with option 1, you might be able to claim 5 years but since you are not working anymore under the same occupation, whatever you will be assessed, you cannot claim further points. If you with option 2 assuming 2 years of deduction, you might end up with 2y2m but won't be able to claim any points. As a positive aspect, your exp will continue to increase and you might be claiming points in future
