15 months training

same case here i contacted institute and they said u can start ur 15 mth training before doing EDP but  it should be completed before the completion of ur training at any time.. 

for procedure just fill the application form for training which u got from the instiitute along with the mark sheet and enclose copy of appointment letter in case of a co or apprenticeship contract in case of PCS ---- then submit them to ur nearest institute and one more thing pls attach ur Marksheet copy along with it also...
