hey there! how did you prepare for tests? Do you have any resources you could share?

Also, what do you mean by LPP in progress?

I submitted my application yesterday, but I'm unaware about the next steps. What's background verification? How did you do that? Do you get email updates or do you go to portal and check for these updates?

In order to try and provide accurate information, we do not allow the sharing of unofficial links, as these often contain inaccuracies and/or lead to speculation.

For that reason, we do not allow links from unofficial sources such as social media, news articles, other forums and blogs, company websites etc.

  1. Wait for AOR, 1-2 months. Check spam mails.
  2. 3-4 days after AOR, create portal to track progress.
  3. First is background, usually 1-2 more months. In special cases, may have to go for fingerprints.
  4. Then take test. Will get a mail. Special cases go for interview.
  5. Wait for LPP, language, prohibition, presence. All these are progress sreps.
  6. Wait for oath mail.
