Asalaam people!!
I am working in Riyadh!!
I am also pursuing my B.Tech Mechanical from India
I wanted to know if the degree of correspondence course(open university) is valid for profession change in the iqama? Or I will have to attend regular college and attain a degree and then apply?
If valid then what is the process for profession change?
If no then what do you suggest to get an engineer post iqama?

Correspondence courses/degrees don't have any value in this part of the world. To get a profession of engineer on your iqama you need to have a full time engineering degree certificate which will be duly certified by SCE !!

Are these courses not valid in GCC ? Or just Saudi ?
I had applied for B.Sc In Computers Sciense 
Distance Education from a Indian University
Does that mean my graduation is of no use ???
If I graduate on Distance Education to get Bachelors , can I do full time Masters or not ?
