MYSY is a state-level scheme run by the Education Department of Gujarat for students who score well in Class 10 or Class 12 but cannot pay for higher education because of limited family income. Students from any part of Gujarat can apply as long as the family income stays within ₹6 lakh a year.
Students who scored 80 percent or more in Class 10 or 65 percent or more in Class 12 are eligible for most courses. Those moving from diploma to degree (D2D) need at least 65 percent marks in the diploma exam. The scheme gives three main types of support.
- Tuition fee grant - year-wise payment of the course fee, subject to the grant limit for the course.
- Hostel grant - monthly payment for students whose college is in a different taluka.
- Book and instruments grant - fixed yearly amount for books, instruments and study material.
The scheme also supports competitive exam preparation, gives age relaxation for government job recruitment and helps students who live in areas without higher education facilities. Students from Gujarat can also check the NAMO E-Tablet Yojana Gujarat for free tablets.
