All other candidates, including subsequent appearance candidates will be scheduled for virtual interviews in July (dates to be determined)
Interviews will be limited to 120 candidates for the February and October periods.

Applications must be completed online in the certification portal.
Check the BCCI website for current materials, forms, policies, and procedures.
