[Un Piloto]

Hey does anyone have any news on the upcoming Coast Guard exam??

[irockoo7]

the last date for submitting applications is 8th feb.. im sure ul knw that.. so expect a list of selected candidates after that!

[Un Piloto]

Has anyone got their call letters for the Coast Guard exam??

[silent_scream]

It is officially supposed to be Feb End. But considering the reputation of India Post, I do not think they'd come soon.

The Date of Exams is not fixed. And the Batch begins in Aug 10. So there is plenty of time.

All the Best.

[silent_scream]

Thanks naughtyjay. The procedure is the same. Although the time required for the certificate depends upon the resources you put in. Hope you get the drift.

All the best.

Character certficate
Normally, if only "char cert" is mentioned without any specification, it can be issued by any gazetted officer who has known you for a considerable period.Such a cert is sufficient for many govt. jobs. but dont know whether coast guard accepts only cert from police.
will be helpful if someone clarifies this.

[Un Piloto]

The police dept is not authorised to sign character certificates. I know this for sure, because there is where I went first and even though my Uncle is in the police, he dint sign it! Then ultimately, I got a certificate made from the company where I was working. That's sufficient.

[silent_scream]

Ok now I am confused. What exactly is it that Coast Guard wants ?

The Certificate I am talking about is the one Issued by the Police Department to individuals when you have a written requirement for the same (For Eg. Airline employees have to get the certificate for Issue of Airport Entry Passes)

But If it has to be by just a gazetted officer, what do we write on it ? Would just a single line saying "He/She bears a good moral character" suffice ?

I tried calling Coast Guard to ask them. But no use.

Silent.

[rkw_12]

@silent scream
Yes it should be like this."I have known so & so for the past _____ years. To my best of knowledge, he/she bears a good moral character."
Some govt. jobs mentions that the issuer can be any responsible citizen. The point is that the issuer should know you and that is why i doubt whether the police which does not know you can issue such a cert or not.

[naughtyjay]

Character Certificate is issued by Gazetted Officers and Police Department.

Both the certificates are different, Police certificate is more valued as a background check is done , n checked if the person has ne record or pending cases. in case of a registered NC,,,it will be issued.

for RTR exams we need a character certificate frm gazetted officer,

and for issue of SPL we need from the cops, same goes for overseas employment, also for military and para military forces.

[silent_scream]

From what I saw during the Last recruitment, the List used to be updated every few days. First I saw 500. Then 600, then 700 or so, and it final ed out at around 850.

So lets hope they are going to update it.

@captain planet, PSB centre are Kolkata /Bhubaneshwar/Vishakhapatnam/Chennai/Kochi/Mumbai/Nagpur/Port-Blair/ Noida (U.P)

FSB is at Chennai or Delhi

There are only 15 CPL Names so far. Bound to be updated i think.
All the Best.

[bombayhues]

Indian Coast Guard (http://indiancoastguard.nic.in/)

[rkw_12]

@all
what is to be done if ur name is on the list but call letter not received?
pls reply asap.

[Un Piloto]

For the guys who haven recevied the call letter, but have their name on the list, just take a print out of the list which has your name n highlight it. They just need your roll no. They are not very fussy bout the call letter.
AND for the guys whose names are not on the list (including me), we'll just have to wait for their next list which would be out sometime next week. Keeping fingers crossed!!

[rkw_12]

@un piloto
Thanks for the info. Hope the updated list comes soon. All the best.

[naughtyjay]

[Jet Gear]

Hey Guys,
I gave my PSB at Mumbai and got through for FSB at Noida,so just wanna know how is FSB like?
Thanks

[naughtyjay]

did u appear for CPL holders....or smethin else...

cause for cpl its only at noida n chennai

[Un Piloto]

@ Jet Gear- How did the PSB go? As in wot all did it include?
FSB includes GDs n Interviews

[Jet Gear]

@UN Piloto, they had verbal and non verbal tests as an entrance exam then GDs followed by an interview.
So again GDs and interview in FSB!!??

[Un Piloto]

@Jet Gear, what kind of GD did you have? Because the GDs in FSB are based only on current events. The interview is quite general, with a few technical questions thrown in.
All the best!!

[Jet Gear]

@Un Piloto, yeah it was like they show a picture and u have to make a story on that pic. and after that you group discuss on it...that was it..so FSB's GD should be difficult i guess.!! anyways thanks man.

[naughtyjay]

i went thru the PSB at noida...
they had taken the GD also..... and most werent selected for th FSB...

did ne1 get selected ??

[Un Piloto]

@ Jet Gear- Which centre did you opt for because Ive heard that the ones in Chennai centre are already done with the FSB and goin in for their medicals!!!! I really donno wot the selection procedure is like!! Its kinda confusin!

[aviator1989]

any other info what to prepare and how is the mental ability test
what to keep in mind n all would be really helpful

[cynicalczar2001]

have u guys seen the ad in the paper for the fast track selection recently? i have an aussie cpl licence. it says that i need a cpl "approved by dgca" wats that supposed to mean? can i still show up with an aussie licence??

[niksmathew24]

Indian DGCA CPL(current) is mandatory...

[nikhilheb]

Are you sure a DGCA CPL is mandatory? I applied last time with an FAA CPL and was called up for the PSB (Normal not fast track) in August, but wasn't able to attend it because I was in the US completing recency. I'm guessing it should be the same for fast track as well.

[niksmathew24]

@ nikhil
According to Coast Guard's latest ad it says so..

[highfly007]

do u guys know in fsb of coast guard what is there in Psychological Test, Group Testing and Interview (Personality Test)?
