Should You Apply?
Who should apply: Professionals with a strong academic record (60%+ in Class 10, Class 12 and graduation) and at least three years of relevant work experience, who are not currently in government service and have not previously participated in any CM Fellowship programme. Graduates from premier national institutes (IIT, IIM, IISc, AIIMS, National Law Universities, IARI) or top-20 global universities (THE/QS rankings) receive additional consideration. Preparation tips: The selection process comprises initial scrutiny, a video presentation (max 500 MB) and a personal interview. Candidates should craft a compelling 1,000–1,200-word personal statement without special characters, highlighting governance interest, problem-solving skills and relevant achievements. For the video, focus on clear articulation of leadership, domain expertise and suitability for public policy work. The interview will likely test analytical ability, domain knowledge and commitment to Gujarat's development. Comparison with previous cycle: The 2026 cycle (same advertisement number) also offered 47 CM Fellow posts with an identical stipend (₹1,10,000) and age limit (35 years). The 2027 notification adds explicit eligibility for premier-institute and top-global-university graduates, mandates a personal statement without special characters, and specifies application on both the CM Fellowship portal and OJAS. The selection stages remain scrutiny → video → interview, but now include a separate video-submission link after initial screening. The application fee stays ₹500 for General category.
