A thread to keep each other up to date about where we all are in the process
Once all the stages are passed calls go out in merit order you could be No.10 on the list a d waiting on vetting to clear and someone in the high hundreds who has all stages cleared would get the call. Vetting is the real determining factor as seen in this campaign
Theres usually over 1000 get to managed stages with a merit number. Out of them 40% + won't make it to end, either fail or withdraw. Out of the remaining merit number is only relevant once you clear. People with lower merit numbers can start long before if their vetting clears and yours is ongoing. If you clear at the same time, you will be given preference in order to keep things fair
from our campaign if your the highest performer you would be 1 on the merit list. As for intakes, I think it depends on a lot of things including their budget and resources at the time.
Did anyone ask for deferral?
Apologies for what may be an obvious question - I’m just trying familiarise myself with the whole process.
In respect of the merit list…I’m not sure how many are on it but let’s say there are 300, does that mean that the highest performer from this current 2025 recruitment drive enters the merit list at position 301?
Also, how often is there a new intake of students?
Thanks. 👍
Aye, hopefully yous all get the call soon enough. Id imagine based on previous years, the one month between June 2025 and April 2026 with no intake would be July or April. Hopefully for your sake its the latter😅
Those stats are pre calls so the ones that have been offered positions yesterday and today will come off next month's stats. There have been 49 people either withdrawn or got dear john letters or failed a part of managed stages taken into account the 80 that re-entered the process. If the class for June is 50 then there should only be 140 left in next months stats provided nobody else withdraws or fails vetting. Hopefully this makes the latest stats make sense lol
I swear the number appointed was 315 before this update. That would mean the difference is people that have dropped out and it doesn't even incorporate people that have received the call as the number of people that accepted position hasn’t increased🤷♂️
Says 04/04/25 - could be less given people have received the call after that date.
Stats updated. 190 left.
Yeha i got call for June. Think I was 700 something. But honestly I don’t think merit list matters at all right now, just depends how much they have to check with your vetting and if it takes longer than others. For classes do they have to have a certain amount of men and women? Cause that might be a deciding factor for who they call for classes.
congrats!! I’m sure you’re over the moon! What was your merit number approx? Trying to judge if I’ll make this course
for June?
i got call there
No calls out today for anyone?
660 or so on the merit list but that doesn’t really matter
Honestly I have no idea, no clue how the process works. though I do remember I was in the low 200s in the merit list before removing myself from the process so maybe thats it.
hoping it speeds up for yourself.
How did you get your vetting passed so quick when there’s some of us waiting 11+ months 😂😂
..
Vetting has passed, still got my medical to do. I am a return for the 2021 campaign. Hoping once I get medical out of the way in the coming weeks I will get selected.
Process has been very quick after confirming I wished to renew my application.
FOI said it will vary from 30-50. The maximum an intake can have is 54 - thats what it was designed for.
How many students are there in each intake?
If the FOI in regards to 10 intakes this Financial Year is adhered to. It’s somewhat comforting to know that bar one month, there will be an intake every month from this June to April 2026.
You and I both lol hopefully we will be in the next batch 😁🤞.
it’ll be any day now they seem to be flying through the vetting now, said this to others but doesn’t get easier after vetting clears waiting on call. Nerves are wrecked
waiting for my vetting to clear still 💀💀
anyone else waiting on a call?
unreal folks.
People who got the call today, they’d said we would receive something in the post, did they say it would be this week?
Also did anyone ask how many was due on the course?
congratulations everyone tho!!
