Selection Process

The course commences in June every year.

Selection activity starts in April. We put up our Interview Schedule on this website and interested candidates can apply to appear for the selction process.

A typical selection day will start off with candidates registering for one of the programmes. After this the candidates go through only two rounds of selection activities:

Round 1: Candidates then introduce themselves to a group of 15-20 participants in the presence of an evaluator. Here, the evaluator is checking the candidates grooming, poise and the ability to converse

Round 2: Short-listed candidates from the first round are invited to a personal interview with a panel comprising of OCLD faculty

Before you take the next step, ask yourself a few questions:

  • Do I really like to give service to others?
  • Am I keen to develop a wide range of technical and social skills?
  • Am I sure that I can I cope with the hours and conditions?
  • Am I confident that I can handle the training /and study for a degree at the same time?

Am I the right sort of person?

  • Do I have a positive attitude?

  • Can I communicate confidently?
  • Do I have an outgoing personality?
  • Am I willing to develop the right image?
