The “Eligibility Criteria” section caught my attention, particularly the requirement for eligible candidates to apply online before 23 May 2026. As someone who has gone through a similar application process, I think it’s essential to start filling out the application form well in advance, as it often takes longer than expected to gather all the necessary documents. I’ve seen many cases where applicants had to rush at the last minute, which can lead to mistakes and missed deadlines. The parallel between the project-based positions mentioned here and design programmes is something I have been thinking about because both seem to require a unique blend of technical skills and creative thinking. I wonder how the selection process will evaluate these skills, especially for candidates who may not have a traditional background in the field.
