Cold mailed a T-1 Partner, he replied "you can apply for positions and have your capability assessed" . What does it mean ?

CYA

Legal speak for "just apply_

I think he means to apply via the standard procedure and get off his back. Don't loose hope.

Ps- check from seniors or others working with partners on who may be good hearted people, cold emails can go against as a report to the RCC if the person is an ass. Good day!!

Whats RCC ?

Recruitment Coordination Committee. Basically, placement committee of your college.

Does it mean assessment internship?

It means "stop buggering me and find someone else"
