Selection Criteria
Minimum selection criteria:
- Applicants must have achieved an average of 65% and above in the latest examinations.
- Applicants must be registered for full-time undergraduate studies.
- Applicants must meet the entry requirements in the fields of commerce, science, engineering, mathematics, and technology at a registered public university.

Preference will be given to students that have participated in and excelled in The Computer Programming Olympiad, which is a project of IITPSA. It is one of the oldest and largest competitions of its kind in the world and has been running since 1984.
The Olympiad is aimed at the following:
- Identifying, encouraging, and rewarding programming aptitude.
- Promoting and encouraging computer studies.
- Creating awareness of career opportunities in ICT.
The competition attracts a lot of talent, but, unfortunately, very few female candidates enter the competition.
