Select yes in n.o.c obtained section....prepare well for your test...in the meantime try to use some approach to convince your boss to forward your n.o.c if he doesn't you could atleat keep a copy with yourself that you applied for n.o.c but due to departmental sluggishness its still in the pipleline...and at the end if you are called for interview you could use some means to pacify your your boss (you know what i mean :p )
