The Ashoka Young Scholars Programme (YSP) is a certified, summer residential programme, designed to give motivated students entering grades 9-12 an exposure to a liberal arts & sciences education at the university level. From the Sciences to Economics, AI to Psychology, Computational Thinking to Design Thinking, International Affairs to Writing with Impact, and Business to Policy, YSP immerses students in an intellectually vibrant environment where they can engage deeply with ideas across disciplines. As students explore how diverse fields shape our understanding of the world, they develop essential skills and gain new perspectives that will set them apart as they prepare for college, careers, and life beyond.
Edition 1: May 18 – May 29, 2026
Edition 2: June 1 – June 12, 2026
Both editions offer the same transformative learning experience, allowing you to select the dates that work best for you.
Our young scholars have the unique opportunity to engage with Ashoka’s globally renowned faculty and leading industry experts, drawing motivation and inspiration that lasts a lifetime. Over the years, YSP participants have interacted with luminaries such as Prof. Rudrangshu Mukherjee (Chancellor and Professor of History, Ashoka University), Prof. Somak Raychaudhary (Vice-Chancellor and Professor of Physics, Ashoka University), Dr. Pramath Raj Sinha (Chairperson, Board of Trustees, Ashoka University), Prof. Mahesh Rangarajan (Professor of Environmental Studies and History, Ashoka University), Sanjeev Bikhchandani (Founder and Trustee, Ashoka University & Founder and Vice-Chairman, Info Edge (India) Limited), Prof. Madhavi Menon (Professor of English & Director, Centre for Studies in Gender and Sexuality, Ashoka University), Aditya Ghosh (Co-Founder, Akasa Air & Visiting Faculty, Department of Entrepreneurship, Ashoka University), Deep Kalra (Founder, MakeMyTrip), and Seema Bansal (Vice-Chairperson, Punjab Development Commission & Visiting Faculty, Department of Entrepreneurship, Ashoka University), among several other academicians, thought leaders and changemakers.
By the end of the programme, students emerge with wider perspectives and a lasting sense of curiosity, ready to explore future academic and professional journeys with clarity and purpose.

One of the best experiences of my summer, hands down! I made so many new friends, explored topics I was genuinely interested in, gained a taste of college life, and enjoyed endless iced tea. I especially loved how thoughtfully the sessions were designed to flow into one another, and how there were at least 2-3 sessions that brought the entire YSP Session 2 cohort together for a shared experience.

The session featured a screening of the ‘Sundarbans’ documentary. As someone passionate about sustainability and the impact of our choices on the environment, I thoroughly enjoyed it and gained new insights. A key takeaway for me was that nature always gives back and protects us, as long as we respect and don’t exploit it.
