Important Information: The above Short-listing / Long-listing / Review / On-boarding / Reporting to Work Process normally takes anywhere between 10-20 Days. Kindly prepare accordingly depending on your other plans. We follow a queue system and generally process applications based upon seniority of receipt. Sometimes despite many documentary requirements being met, someone else who may have been in the line earlier / later, just could happen to make it through.
We regret any inconveniences this due process causes at times, but not all factors are in our full control.
