Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key word here is « conditionally »: it allows you to enter the selection process without yet having the degree or the B2 certificate, but only if the missing document is obtained within the deadlines set in the call. The real filter is therefore not a simple form, but the ability to quickly present a solid research file, with a well-shaped English text and two reachable institutional referees. If you fall under one of the special tracks, treat it as a separate route, not as an implicit bonus. Submit early on Apply@polito, then secure the blocking documents.
