Hey guys. Quick update. I just gave them a call. Apparently a group of inspectors just started training a few weeks back. So, i guess for those who have yet to receive their offer and still want to be in the waiting game, it'll most likely be another month or two of wait. So yea.

thanks for the update! we were talking about it in our chat group. Think this monday was actually their first day , hence we were suspecting it as well. Would you be interested to join our chat group ? easier for us to talk there

Yup, there was an intake yesterday. Next intake probably be end June or end July. With notice period, i think high chance end July.

Fyi for DEI we need to complete local degree course first before we could apply..

No need to be local uni, overseas degree are acceptable as long as they are accepted by the government of origins as well and we are allpwed to apply 6 months before we graduate (as written in their brochure , in fact it was recommended )

Hey guys, wanted to know what are the chances of a PES C signing on as an SO, read the thread but it dates back to 2015. Also saw from their FAQ it’s a case by case basis. I have no prior injuries and am a little overweight but i consider myself fit but of course not those super super fit.

Your probability is 50:50. Only ICA knows the criteria for acception and its dependant on why you are PES C. If fractures and stuff, i believe is fine. BMI will be assessed at a point. So might be one of the criteria

The waiting time is killing me.

Does anyone have any updates for their application for DEI? Here is my timeline so far:

Application submitted on Careers@Gov: 24 May 2019
Email received for document submission: 04 Jun 2019
Document submission/HR Briefing/Group Discussion Trial: 10 Jun 2019

It's been almost 5 full weeks since then, and no reply from them yet. I know someone who attended the same document submission with me who went for the panel interview on 24 Jun (2 weeks after submission), so I am afraid that I might not have been selected. My status on Careers@Gov is still stated as 'Shortlisted' though.

I gave ICA HR a call at +65 6391 6183 at the 3 week mark, and they said that my application is still being processed, and that I needn't worry because they couldn't possibly arrange for all applicants for the panel interview within the same day. But I thought it was weird that I was left out of the same group.

The only reason I could come up with for this is our availabiliity. I indicated a 1 month notice period while the other person was able to start immediately. I cannot confirm this but this is what I suspect based off of reading this thread.

The waiting time is killing me. I am looking forward to good news, but I'd rather just know early on if Im unsuccessful so I can move on. It'd be quite shitty to wait so long and then get rejected. Is no news really good news?

I'll update if there are any developments.

Generally..

Week 1 - sms to check email on doc submission
Week 2 - doc submission, tests and group trial
Week 3 - call for panel round and email on panel details
Week 4 - panel round (could be week 5/6 depending on the availability of the panelists)

Timeline may be adjusted also.. so just take this as a reference. If rejected after doc submission, an email will be sent.
