  7. It is written well in the requirement that you have to COMPLETE your high school before April, 12. You have to attach your score in your Application form, so you have to send them TOGETHER with your application form, else just forget about joining (except you can somehow get the required document listed above). It is not written that Vocational High School graduate are not allowed to apply, it implies that as long as you meet the requirement, for example having Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and English in your High School, you can become an applicant for this program too.
