If you apply in morning by night you get it but your situation is pretty tight. You cannot afford any delay.

No i haven’t applied yet, oath is scheduled on jan12, so i was assuming if i get the certificate on same day then i can apply passport on jan 15 ( jan13-14 is weekend).

oh - that is super tight, getting the certificate same day is not guaranteed. I got it the same day, may partner got it in 5 calendar days. So it's taking a chance - do request the clerk at the time of oath and explain your situation and request for same day certificate if possible. Else, you can travel on Indian passport and apply for a passport from India - may need to get FRRO exit permit - will be complicated
