So to start with First I have written NQT test on 4th August and the results were out on the 10th of august. Luckily I cleared my NQT. So further I was waiting for my interview date. On 24/08/2019 I received a mail stating that my interview is on 26/08/2019 (Just 1-2 days gap after confirmation mail of schedule of interview).
