Here are some questions and clarifications regarding the orientation course:
- Is it required to use the same passport-sized photo from the SSP portal on the acknowledgment letter, or can I use a different one?
- What items should I bring for the orientation training?
- Can I wear a thin checkered shirt, or should I opt for light plain-colored shirts? (Just to clarify, I’m male.)
- The acknowledgment letter states that documents need to be sent two days before the start of the batch. Since my batch begins on a Sunday, will it be acceptable to send the documents that day, or should I send them the day before, on Saturday?
- Is wearing a coat or blazer mandatory for the orientation course? I’ve noticed some attendees wearing them.

Here are some responses to your questions:
It is typically recommended to use the same passport size photo that you submitted on the SSP portal for consistency. However, if it is a different photo of yourself and meets the required specifications, it may be acceptable. It’s best to check with the relevant authorities or guidelines to confirm.
For your IT OC training, you should carry any required documents mentioned in your acknowledgment letter, a notebook and pen for taking notes, your ID, and any materials specified in the introductory communication. It’s also a good idea to bring your laptop if applicable.
While your choice of shirt ultimately depends on personal preference, light plain colors are typically more formal than thin checks. If there are no specific dress code requirements, a thin checked shirt may be fine, but it’s always safer to choose something that looks more professional.
If the acknowledgment letter states to send the documents two days before the batch starts, sending them on Sunday, the commencement day, may not be in line with the requirements. It would be safer to send them on Saturday to ensure they arrive in time.
Wearing a coat or blazer is often seen as part of a professional dress code, especially during orientation or formal occasions. If you’ve noticed others wearing them, it might be a good idea to dress similarly. If unsure, you could opt for business casual attire or confirm the dress code in advance.
I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
