Applications that are found to be incomplete are rejected at this stage.
Stage two consists of an interview. Those applicants whose applications pass the first stage are invited to appear before the C-PACT Selection Committee for an interview. The marked components are 20 marks for the SoP, and 30 marks for the interview.
Stage three involves evaluation of the SoP and interview performance, creation of a merit list, and declaration of result.
