How are Young Professionals Selected?

How are YPs selected?

Young Professionals are chosen through an intensive and rigorous selection process. Competition is keen as we receive 10,000 to 15,000 applications each year for a limited number of positions, and most of the candidates exceed the minimum criteria.  Please note that this is a 9-month process and it is expected that the selected candidates will join in September of the following year (i.e. Candidates applying on May 1 thru July 15, 2009, if selected, will be expected to join in September 2010).
