Mukhyamantri Yuva Swavalamban Yojana (MYSY)

A combined fee-waiver and scholarship scheme for meritorious Gujarat students from economically weaker backgrounds pursuing higher or professional education — covering tuition up to ₹2 lakh a year, plus a monthly allowance for hostel or living costs, so genuine merit isn't blocked by an inability to pay.

What this scheme offers

MYSY exists for a familiar problem: a student who's genuinely earned admission to a good college or professional course, but whose family income means the fees are simply out of reach. The scheme covers tuition up to ₹2 lakh a year for eligible students pursuing higher or professional education — engineering, medicine, and similar tracks — and adds a monthly maintenance allowance of ₹1,200 to help with hostel or living costs, so the financial gap doesn't undo what merit alone secured.

Who is eligible

  • Gujarat domicile student admitted to a recognised higher-education or professional course.
  • Family annual income within the EWS/economically weaker limit prescribed by the scheme.
  • Meets the minimum academic performance criteria in the qualifying exam.
  • Not already availing an equivalent central or state scholarship covering the same fees.

Documents required

  • Aadhaar card
  • Admission letter / fee structure from the institution
  • Income certificate
  • Previous qualifying exam marksheet
  • Bank account details (Aadhaar-linked)
