The names of the selected candidates will be made available on CCMB homepage during the second week of April 2014 (around 15/4/2015)

Selection Process:
A committee nominated by the Director, CCMB, selects the trainees. One of the major criteria used in selection is that the selected candidates should represent the Nation-wide coverage of different Indian states (based on the location of their academic institutions, but irrespective of their birthplace, sex, cast or religion). ‘Statement of purpose’ and the ‘Recommendation / reference Letter’ are other important considerations in the selection of candidates along with the academic record. A few seats (~5%) are reserved for the children of CCMB employees.

The number of trainees’ intake varies between 50 - 60 candidates and mainly depends upon the availability of bench space with different staff scientists of CCMB. On an average we receive ~1500 applications, of which only 3.0 – 4.0 % candidates make it to the program.
