Well that's an unreasonable policy; if it is a "policy".
Why one must not know that where does he stand amongst others ?
And why one has to write any "application" to a reasonable person to ask for the benevolence of DMC ?
The point is not what the policy says but what the interest of candidates' is in. And by every logic this is in the best interest of a candidate who has engaged himself in this process. P.S: I have already written in detail to the commission.
