FAQs

 

Do all students nominated by the current Champions/Faculty automatically get selected?

No, nominated students, like other applicants, are also required to go through the standard application process. However, the nomination or recommendation from the current Champions/Faculty does provide them with an advantage over other applicants, giving them an edge during the selection process.

 

Who can be an RPA developer? 

While possessing technical skills can be advantageous, it is important to note that anyone with an interest and motivation to learn can become an RPA developer. Surprisingly, many certified RPA developers worldwide are undergraduate students. In fact, over 90% of them hold college degrees, with the majority specializing in technical fields. Additionally, one out of five RPA developers pursued a business-focused course of study, while more than one in ten had degrees in other areas. This data suggests that the industry welcomes individuals with diverse skill sets and knowledge, making room for a broader range of talents and backgrounds.

Can I apply to become a Student Developer Champion if I am in my final year of studies?

We encourage students who have more than one year remaining before graduation to apply for the program. This is because final year students typically have various commitments, such as internships, placement exams, and final year project submissions, which may make it challenging to fully engage in the program. We want to ensure that final year students can prioritize their academic requirements and successfully complete their studies without any hindrance from the program.
