The Ministry of Education today extended the registration period for Yuva Sangam Phase 5. According to the official notice, the deadline has been extended to October 25, 2024. The registration link and additional information are available at the official website, ebsb.aicte-india.org.
This decision was made to accommodate all applicants who wish to take advantage of this one-of-a-kind opportunity. The Ministry of Education reported that as the earlier registration deadline approached, the dedicated registration portal observed a significant increase in traffic, prompting the decision to extend the deadline. This allows more young people, especially students and professionals, to take advantage of the uncommon opportunity to represent their state or union territory.
Young professionals (employed/self-employed) and students including NSS/NYKS volunteers, as well as off-campus youth (those enrolled for online courses, in skilling institutions etc) can apply for this life-changing experience through multi-dimensional exposure in five broad areas – the 5 Ps viz; Paryatan (Tourism), Parampara (Traditions), Pragati (Development), Paraspar Sampark (People-to-people connect), and Prodyogiki (Technology).
