Application Deadlines

Applications are open for the PGP YL Class of 2026-2028. We operate a staggered admission process with two deadlines for each intake. While competition is the same across all rounds, the earlier you gain admission, the more time you will have to secure financing and arrange related logistics. Applicants in earlier rounds also get preference in the allotment of scholarships. The online application for each round opens approximately two months before the application deadline for that round. Know more about our application deadlines and special instructions below.

Note - Applications submitted after December 14, 2025, will automatically roll into Round 2 consideration. We shall not accept applications received after February 22, 2026, for the class of 2028. Each application round represents a specific timeframe for submission, not sequential stages of the process. Candidates may submit only one application per academic year during a single round. These dates depend on the admission cycle, i.e. these will be the Round 1 and Round 2 deadline dates.

Special Instructions

International Applicants

We welcome international students and value the perspectives they bring to the classroom. We also embrace applicants who have lived, worked, or studied abroad or who are driving global agendas at international companies and engaging dynamically with diverse global stakeholders.

Reapplicants

Any applicant who previously applied to any PGP Suite programme will be considered a reapplicant. Reapplicants get the benefit of a lower application fee and have the opportunity to showcase the changes in their profile since the last application in the ‘reapplicant essay’. Other than this, reapplicants are considered at par with fresh applicants in every way.
