Graduates do not need to apply for provisional registration immediately after completing their qualification. However, if you do not apply directly after finishing your ITE course, you will need to independently organise your own Evidence of Completion (EOC) document to send to VIT.  

If a graduate does not intend to teach immediately but chooses to apply for provisional registration upon completion of their qualification, they have two options.  

Graduates can apply for provisional registration, which is granted for two years. Then, if more time is needed, applicants must apply for an additional period of provisional registration. This is done through the MyVIT portal within 3 months of provisional registration expiring.  

Graduates could also apply for non-practicing registration after they have successfully applied for provisional registration. There is no time limit on when teachers need to return if they are paying their registration fees.
