I can’t say but feel that the selection process is not sincerely handled, I took the test and I was well assured that what I answered was correct because I spent month in preparing for that test and what mark was I given? 58% despite the efforts and hardwork put into it, even though the curtoff mark was 48% I still didn’t made it to be shortlisted, anyways this is my second and last time applying. Thanks for the time wasting…….
