# Student Selection Process

All CYF branches are required to follow the [selection process guidelines](https://docs.codeyourfuture.io/course-processes/before-the-course) to select the students from all eligible applicants. This includes the following requirements:

* Eligible applicants must be clearly informed at the start of the selection process about the timings and requirements of the process;
* Eligible applicants must be interviewed face to face (whether in person or virtually) as part of the selection process;
* Independent 3rd party reviewers must be involved in the selection process to ensure fairness and transparency; and
* Any documentation relevant to the selection process should be available in advance to all students considered for selection.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.codeyourfuture.io/archive/archived-pages/overview-of-our-process/student-selection-process.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
