Thanks for sharing your profile,
kusharora. You have good undergraduate academics, B.Com (Hons) with an 8.41 CGPA. Early exposure to finance/commerce & versatility, audit internship at a Big4 firm, private-equity internship, part-time involvement in e-commerce and family business, real estate & investments. That shows initiative, business awareness, and entrepreneurial spirit. You started an online business, assisted in acquisitions, and engaged in investments. That’s a positive signal of risk-taking, responsibility, and hands-on business understanding. Charity or social drives via Rotary; participation in entrepreneurship cell and societies; event organisation. These help show well-roundedness beyond academics. Through internships and summer school abroad (LSE Summer School), helpful in today's global business school environment. Adcoms look for diversity, initiative, and potential beyond just work, and you have tangible story elements.
Things to watch out for: Low GMAT FE score 635, for ISB PGP YL, admissions are competitive; while 635 isn’t disqualifying, it can be slightly low. You’ll need stronger compensatory evidence (leadership, impact, clarity of goals, and standout story). Limited full-time work experience. As of now, you’re just graduating in 2026. PGP-YL typically values some years of full-time work; you’ll be applying essentially right after graduation/few years of part-time/internships. This may make it harder to demonstrate deep professional maturity or leadership arc. Lack of a clear post-MBA goal and focus. Your background spans audit, equity intern, e-commerce, family business, real estate, and part-time investments. That’s diverse but can potentially diffuse, adcoms like a clear, believable plan: “Here’s where I come from > here’s why MBA > here’s where I am going.”
So far, your leadership is mostly event-organising and part-time involvement. For PGP-YL (and any top MBA), having 1–2 serious, measurable leadership or impact stories helps more than many small roles.
Things you can do before the application: Craft a very clear “why I need PGP-YL now” narrative, what gap does the MBA fill (leadership maturity? business fundamentals? network? clarity?) Boost quant/test profile, ideally retake GMAT( to push score into ~665+) or consider GRE, to reduce quantitative signal risk. Identify 1–2 high-impact leadership or business stories (from the e-commerce venture, real estate, internships, or social initiatives) that show initiative, responsibility, outcome, and a growth mindset. Tighten post-MBA goal: pick a domain, maybe entrepreneurship (building a business), or real estate/investment/consulting, and show how PGP-YL helps.
If you do these things well, you might stand a good shot. If not, the risk of rejection can be moderate but not small.
If you'd like,

You are doing well. All the very best!
