state legislature in India or other educational institutions established

by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India. The Bachelor’sDegree or
equivalent qualification obtained by the candidate must entail a minimum
of three years of education after completing higher secondary schooling

being awarded grades/CGPA instead of marks, the equivalence would be
based on the equivalence certified by the university/institution from
where they have obtained bachelor’sdegree. In case the university/institution
does not have any scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks,
the equivalence would be established by the IIMs by dividing obtained
CGPA with the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the resultant with
100.

qualification examination and those who have completed degreerequirement
and are awaiting results can also apply. Such candidates must produce
