Introduction to Mukhyamantri Yuva Swavalamban Yojana (MYSY)
Securing admissions to prestigious medical, engineering, pharmacy, and professional degree programs should never be thwarted by exorbitant tuition fees. To assist bright, meritorious students from economically weaker and middle-income families, the Education Department, Government of Gujarat, implements the flagship Mukhyamantri Yuva Swavalamban Yojana (MYSY).
Under the MYSY Scholarship, the Government of Gujarat provides substantial higher education financial assistance: 50% of tuition fees (up to ₹2 Lakh per annum for medical/dental courses, and up to ₹50,000 per annum for engineering and diploma courses), alongside annual hostel lodging grants of ₹12,000 and one-time textbook grants of up to ₹10,000. The scheme has opened higher education gateways for over 3 lakh meritorious students across Gujarat.
