Enrolment Process

The application process for Ashoka’s Young Scholars Programme (YSP) is designed to guide applicants through a clear, step-by-step journey. Beginning with an eligibility review, applicants move seamlessly through preparing application materials, selecting their preferred programme edition, and completing a simple online form. Applications are processed on a rolling basis, allowing early applicants to secure limited seats. Once accepted, students complete programme fee payments within a set timeframe to confirm their spot.

YSP Application Requirements

  • Marksheets: Scanned copies of the original, authorised final marksheet for the academic year 2025-26.
  • Essay: Applicants are required to submit a 250-word essay, which is evaluated on content, clarity, and originality. Essays are checked for plagiarism and AI-generated text, so applicants are encouraged to ensure that their submission reflects their own ideas and writing.

You may also include links to relevant work (e.g., websites, blogs, GitHub) and certificates or proof of involvement, if available.
