You shall receive an e-mail about your selection (about 2 days before

and password.
3. What is the OCC_RTI course about? What is the duration of the course?
OCC_RTI is a 15-day online course.
These 15 days are further divided into two slots. The first 12 days
are allocated to study the chapters and thereby the modules including
taking a quiz for each chapter. The last 3 days are to be used for
taking the online examination.
The online course is flexible. Within these slots of 12 days and 3
days, a candidate can complete the course work (i.e,. study of
modules) at her / his convenience - one or more than one chapter /
module at a time. It is estimated that each chapter and its respective
quiz can be completed in one hour.
The candidate has the option of studying the material in one day or in
any number of days between Day 1 to Day 12.
The course content will be supplemented with additional reading and
reference material for the better understanding of RTI by the
candidates.
It consists of 4 Modules. Each module comprises 3 chapters. The entire
Course is to be completed over a continued period of 15 days.
Various kinds of reference material have been provided for the
reference of the candidates taking this course. Some tips about
further reading have also been provided.
Further references in the form of relevant circulars of DoPT and
relevant decisions of the Central Information Commission have also
been provided. These are all available below the `Discussion Forum`
window.
The course material will be supported by a discussion forum.
Candidates are encouraged to raise queries, air their views, and share
experiences as they go along. All candidates can post their queries /
views/ experiences. There will be a moderator for the discussion forum
to facilitate and oversee the discussion.
4. What is the purpose of taking the OCC_RTI?
Perusing this course is going to be important from the point of view
of understanding several implementation-related aspects of the 'RTI
Act, 2005'.
5. How is the examination conducted?
After the 12th day (i.e. for Days 13, 14 & 15) the course material and
the discussion forum will be closed. These days are set aside for a
candidate to write an "Online Examination". On the successful
completion of which, he / she would be issued a "Certificate of
Completion".
Two case studies with 2 questions each have to be answered. Each
question will carry 25 marks. Total marks for the exam will be 100.
The answer to each question should not exceed 150 words.
Candidates can take the examination in one sitting or in multiple
sittings. Before submission of answers-to-the-examination, a brief
feedback form would need to be filled by the candidates
Based upon the performance, a candidate would be placed in Grade A /
Grade B / Grade C. The grading will be done on the following basis:
Grade A: 80% & above
Grade B: 60% - 79%
Grade C: 50% - 59%
<!--[endif]-->
A certificate would be generated for a candidate only on securing the
minimum prescribed qualifying marks in the examination. Those who do
not get 50% marks in the examination will be declared as Not
Qualified. These candidates will not receive any certificate.
Candidates who do not secure the minimum qualifying marks will NOT
have the option to repeat the Online Examination again in the same
batch. Should they wish to take the examination with any of the
subsequent batches, they would need to convey it to the Administrator
at occhelpdesk. Candidates can write the Online Examination later in
exceptional circumstances, provided they communicate to the
Administrator their inability to do so before the 12th day of the
completion of their assigned batch.
The Administrator would communicate back to the candidate after due
consultation with DoPT, and assessment of vacant slots if available in
the subsequent batches.
6. How do I participate in the Discussion Forum?
The Course Work will be supported by a `Discussion Forum`. Candidates
are encouraged to raise queries, air their views, and share
experiences as they go along. All candidates can post their queries /
views / experiences. Like the Course Work, the Discussion Forum will
also be available from Day 1 through Day 12. It will not be available
for the duration of the Examination i.e. Days 13, 14 & 15.
Given that the batch that has been selected comprises different stake
holders, some answers may emerge from the discussions of the
candidates themselves.
There will be a moderator for facilitating the forum. The moderator
may answer queries / doubts immediately if he / she is participating
in the discussion, or may offer her / his inputs later.
