Turning 28 on 10-Nov-2006. Can I apply under 28 scheme?

[AkashS]

Dear Friends,

I am turning 28 on 10-Nov-2006. Can I apply for HSMP under 28 Scheme? I am going to send the application by Monday, 16-Oct-2006 and they should receive it before 20-Oct-2006. Will They consider my application as under 28 Application or not?

Any idea how long before we should submit our application for this category? Is there any Official Document or Guideline to confirm the same? Experts please suggest me regarding this asap. Thanks.


Regards,

Akash...

Buddy,

Wish you had gone through the guidance notes

As long as HO "receives" your application before the day you turn 28, it will be considered as "under 28" application.


regards

[doubletrouble]

ofcourse you can as long as home office receives your doc before or on 9th Nov

I wanted to ask if evidence as Brochures for my past Companies will be ok or not... For 2 companies I am producing Brochure (One is company Brochure, another is One Department's Brochure) and for ojne other company I am presenting a Booklet on some Company Values, Inspirations etc... Will that be fine...

[itsme]

ensure you submit reference letters from every company you have worked for... that should cover your roles/responsibilities,start/end dates, designation, mention full time role., requires Graduate level work..... etc...

there is no harm in submitting the company's brochures/ business cards.... but those alone are not sufficient to claim points for work exp.

above reference letter is a must ............
