All the candidates satisfying the minimum requirements need to pass in the written test, appear for group discussion and panel interview, IGNOU spokesperson Ravi Mohan said today.

The last date for receipt of completed applications at the university by hand or by post is August 7.

The programme would be conducted by the School of Social Work (SOSW), which was established in 2007.
