This is
excellent advice , kolhapuri.
I know some people have escaped this in the past, but if it is so that agents have been stockpiling applications and CIO get hit with a large number on the first few opening days, then they will have to discriminate between who is sent further and ho is not.
Any criteria that has not been met to the letter will be fuel for the fire, I think.
I read one poster who claimed that they have a policy of accepting all applications received on the same day. Well, I have not heard of that before and I am not sure how they got this information but maybe that
was true when they were receiving them in dribs and drabs, but if there is a huge avalanche of applications on the first day that exceeds the tiny quota of 500 for a category such as nursing, they will most certainly NOT accept them all just because they all arrived on the same day. They will be looking even more carefully for errors, omissions and deviations from the rules on order to select those who will make it through.
I would make absolutely sure that everything on the application is exactly as they state before I submit if I was going for the new intake and I would not be at all surprised if they redated the forms just prior to the new year start for that reason.
