A candidate may / could complete the course work (i.e,. study of modules) at her / his convenience at a single point of time.

You will have to score 3/3 in the quiz in any one of the chapters and at least 2/3 in the other two to move ahead.



7. How do I register for the next batch?

Response: The first call for registrations have been closed. The first batch of 60 candidates (selected by DoPT) commenced from 07.09.2009. The user ID and passwords are issued for those who have been selected on the basis of their registration at the first call on a first come first serve basis.



We have received an overwhelming response at the time of first announcement for registration to this course. Hence, for some time we will accommodate, all those who have already registered.



A second call would be announced on this very site and on the website of CGG and the RTI Net site as soon as the first registered are completed. When fresh registrations begin, they will be announced in the same manner as the registration for the first batch was announced. One can register for this course then.



Details about the course as they apply for subsequent batches will be announced along with the announcement for fresh registrations.



8. How do I see the Discussion Forum?

Response: When you login into the system to take the course, a window on the right side has the Discussion Forum written above a window in red colour. Your comments may be sent through a window below it, by typing your query and submitting it as send. Your query will then appear in the Discussion Forum and be answered by either the fellow batch-mates, if they are in know of the issues or by a team of Moderators. A day-wise archive of the discussions can also be viewed when you click on the day-wise links.



9. What is the examination pattern?

Response: Every candidate who qualifies to take the examination, (after having answered the necessary number of quiz questions correctly at the end of each chapter / module as per FAQ 6) will be given two `case narrations` - during the examination.

Each question will have 25 marks totaling the marks for the examination to 100. A candidate will have to score 50% marks to qualify the examination and to get an e-Certificate. Based upon a candidate's performance, above 50%, he / she would be placed in Grades of A / B / C.

Response: After you login, go to the Reports menu and click on the “Quiz answers” to see the correct answers.



11. Do I get a placement in Government after taking the course?
