1. Academic Qualification:
The candidate must hold a bachelors degree in any field from a well-known college or university. You can pursue graduation in any stream.
Candidates who have appeared at an examination, the passing of which would render them educationally qualified for the Commission's examination but have not been informed of the results as also the candidates who intend to appear at such a qualifying examination will also be eligible for admission to the Preliminary Examination.
