The Sports person will be required to send their resume along with passport size photograph as per the format http://iocl.com/download/Resume_sports_July_2011.pdf and also the family details. The sports person will also be required to attach with the applications the photo copies of the press cuttings and the certificates, duly authenticated by their respective State Association or the Principal of their school / college.
