He forgot that if he wins the award, his certificate would be ready before then. Just be sure your discharge certificate is ready before September/october.
As at when I applied I didn't have my certificate ready, and I was shorlisted for the exam. Same for a friend of mine, she was also shortlisted and she got the award, of course before the award date her discharge certificate was already ready.
The Main thing is to be shortlisted for the exam and to pass the exam.
The PTDF has got some stringent rules if you read the requirements, some of those rules were not feasible, but understanding the flexibility is the Key.
Cheers.
