Attention YLES participants

In view of realistic business ideas, after additional consideration, Judges have further decided to set the cutoff rate at 70%. Hence: The Team Euphoria, Amanah and Rooftop Garden qualify for the second round.

 The above teams have secured 11^th, 12^th and 13^th position respectively. They have been given consideration on the basis of the business idea presented. However, they require further research to refine their ideas.

Please note that the top 10 qualifying teams would be required to present their business idea to our panel of judges on soon to be announced date. While, team 11, 12 and 13 would be required to present a refined, well researched write up on their business idea along with the presentation to the panel of judges.
