ISB YLP: The ISB, Indian School of Business, Young Leaders Programme, offers students an exciting guaranteed admit to the highly valued ISB PGP program. The programme also promises to accelerate career growth during the two pre-PGP years through structured bi-annual on-campus management education sessions, career mentorship programs, and a Rs.1 Lakh YLP scholarship. The admit is contingent upon completion of 1 year and nine months of work experience. This is an excellent opportunity for young adults with drive and ambition to get an early start.

ISB YLP Eligibility: To be considered for admission, an applicant must be in his/her pre-final year of graduation. The admit is contingent upon completion of 1 year and nine months of work experience (post admit).

ISB YLP Essays: For the young, relatively inexperienced target group, the essays are apt. Very similar to the ISB PGP essays targeting candidates with half decade of experience, I had a feeling that the 3 Stage-2 essays as well as the Stage-1 video might be a little too much for the youngsters. Surprisingly most of the essays and videos that I have seen so far show commendable maturity and poise. So that's a good start! While I feel that the ISB PGP essays are limited in scope for candidates with work experience, the ISB YLP application essay package offers enough scope for students who have yet to enter the business world. While all the essays are standard issue MBA essay prompts, together with the video, the candidate can give an excellent account of herself/himself. Use an early start to clarify your thoughts and grab this timely opportunity.
