We strongly encourage female students from Dalit, Bahujan, Adivasi and LGBTQIA+ communities to apply for the program. We aim to ensure a minimum of 50% representation from these communities in our final cohort, irrespective of the colleges you went to.

Since the aim of the program is to bridge information and support gaps, an ideal applicant (who does not belong to the above DBA/LGBTQIA+ category) would be one who has not received adequate support or mentorship in their college. By support we mean access to college level placement services, strong alumni networks, and support from faculty members. We particularly encourage students from state universities to apply for the program
