FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is there any fee?
No. Registration, selection and the State Session are completely free. Kits, meals and certificates are funded by our sponsors.
Who can apply?
College students aged 18–25 and young professionals up to 35 who live or study in Tamil Nadu.
Can I speak in Tamil?

Is it an individual or team application?
Individual. Three Members are selected from each district; together they form your District Delegation on the day.
How are delegates selected?
Round 1 (a 2-minute video and a 300-word note) is scored by trained evaluators. About 300 shortlisted candidates face Round 2, a live 5-minute speech with two rebuttal questions on Zoom. The top 3 from each district are selected, plus 6 presiding officers.
When and where is the State Session?
Saturday, 23 January 2027, at the Host Partner College in Tamil Nadu. The venue will be announced on this website.
Is TNYP linked to any political party?
No. TNYP is strictly non-partisan. Benches (Treasury and Opposition) are allotted by draw, and no party names, symbols, colours or slogans are allowed.
Will I get a certificate?
Every applicant who completes Round 1 receives an e-certificate of participation. Delegates receive a State Session certificate; six awards are presented on the day.
What if I am selected but cannot attend?
Please decline on the confirmation form by 9 January so that your seat goes to the next candidate on the waitlist.
Do you cover travel?
Delegates arrange their own travel to the venue. Kits, meals and certificates are provided free on the day.
Will the session be filmed or broadcast?
Yes. The State Session is planned for live telecast with our media partners. Consent for photography and broadcast is collected at registration.
How is my data used?
Only to run TNYP Mini 2027. We never share delegate contact details with sponsors; Talent Connect reaches only delegates who opt in.
