selection procedure

Selection to the academy is based solely on merit. The coaches watch the potential of candidates during national level tournaments and pick up those with the right attitude and skills. Offer of admission is given and those interested are admitted to the academy where year round training is imparted.

Players who aspire to become professionals like engineers / doctors are generally not chosen as the exacting professional curriculum will not permit the players to devote themselves wholeheartedly to Badminton.

Therefore, only those players who take up commerce / Arts are preferred during selections. Most of the trainees do their B.A/ B.Com either through correspondence course or take time off for about 4-6 Weeks during March/ April, go to their respective places, write exams and then return to Bangalore immediately after the exams.
