The training will be for 45-days and Rs 20,000 will be spent on each candidate for training and the entire expenditure will be borne by the government, Choudhary said.
Successful trainees will be placed in various IT companies with a package of Rs 1.40 lakh. The candidates, who are interested can apply online before August 18.
