I think you are talking about new training scheme. I dont know much detail of new scheme. As per it you have to complete 8 days of EDP after passing executive programme. Hence it can be assumed that you will have to complete it before starting 15 months training.
However in old scheme there was a 5 day TOP, it was also required to undergo before starting training, but institute was allowing students to start training without TOP as the institute was not being able to conduct enough TOP's during the year, hence student were allowed to undergo TOP after few months of training.
May be same can happen in EDP. You should contact your ICSI city office or delhi headquarter
