What is MYSY Scholarship?

MYSY (Mukhyamantri Yuva Swavalamban Yojana) is the Government of Gujarat's most generous merit-based scholarship. Unlike most Gujarat scholarships that are category-specific, MYSY is open to students from all categories — SC, ST, OBC, SEBC, EWS, Minority, and General — as long as they meet the marks and income criteria.

The scheme was launched to ensure that financially constrained but academically bright students from Gujarat do not drop out of higher education due to fees. It covers the full tuition fee of the student's course up to ₹2,00,000 per year, directly deposited into the student's bank account via DBT.

Key distinction: MYSY is purely merit-based — your academic performance (80%+) matters more than your caste category. A General category student from a middle-class family (income ≤₹6L) is fully eligible alongside SC/ST students.
⚠ Important: MYSY is separate from other category-based scholarships (SC/ST/OBC etc.) on the Digital Gujarat portal. Students may apply for MYSY in addition to their category scholarship, but the combined disbursement rules apply. Always verify on the official portal.

MYSY Scholarship — Frequently Asked Questions

MYSY stands for Mukhyamantri Yuva Swavalamban Yojana, which translates to "Chief Minister's Youth Self-Reliance Scheme." It is a flagship merit scholarship by the Government of Gujarat designed to help academically bright but financially constrained students pursue higher education without financial burden.
The annual family income limit for MYSY is ₹6,00,000 (₹6 lakh). This is significantly higher than most other Gujarat government scholarships (which cap at ₹1.5L–₹2.5L), making MYSY accessible to lower-middle-class families. Income must be certified by a Mamlatdar-issued Income Certificate.
Yes. The MYSY eligibility criteria require 80% or above, which means exactly 80% qualifies. However, ensure your marks percentage is calculated correctly from your official marksheet. In case of rounding, the percentage shown on your official Gujarat Board marksheet is the one that counts.
You may apply for both, but the total scholarship amount cannot exceed your actual tuition fees. The combined disbursement is regulated by the Gujarat government. If you receive an SC/ST/OBC scholarship that already covers your full fees, MYSY may not provide additional funds above the actual fee amount. Consult your institution's scholarship coordinator for clarity.
The MYSY Scholarship application window for AY 2025–26 typically opens in July–August and the deadline falls in October–November. Exact dates vary each year.
