Madhya Pradesh Mukhyamantri Medhavi Vidyarthi Yojana

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

Higher education opens the door to better career opportunities, but the rising cost of tuition fees often prevents many talented students from pursuing their dreams. To ensure that financial constraints do not become a barrier for meritorious students, the Government of Madhya Pradesh launched the Mukhyamantri Medhavi Vidyarthi Yojana (MMVY). The scheme provides financial assistance to eligible students who have secured excellent marks in Class 12 and wish to pursue higher education in recognised institutions.

Under this scheme, the State Government bears the admission fee and eligible tuition fee of students admitted to approved undergraduate, professional, integrated postgraduate, dual degree, diploma, engineering, medical, law, and other eligible courses. The tuition fee is reimbursed as per the fee approved by the Fee Regulatory Committee, the Madhya Pradesh Private University Regulatory Commission, or the Central/State Government, depending on the institution. However, expenses such as hostel charges, mess fees, caution money, and other non-approved charges are not covered under the scheme.

Students who have passed the Class 12 examination with at least 70% marks from the Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education (MPBSE) or 85% marks from CBSE/ICSE and whose parent's/guardian's annual income does not exceed ₹8 lakh can apply for the scheme after securing admission to an eligible course. The scheme also includes special provisions for Engineering, Medical, Law, Polytechnic, and several other higher education programmes. In addition, the Government has introduced revised benefits for eligible MBBS students from the academic session 2025-26, making medical education more affordable through scholarship and interest-free loan provisions.

Apart from the Mukhyamantri Medhavi Vidyarthi Yojana, the Government of Madhya Pradesh also operates the Mukhyamantri Jan Kalyan (Shiksha Protsahan) Yojana for the children of registered unorganised workers. Under that scheme, the Government bears the eligible tuition fee for students pursuing approved higher education courses. If you belong to a registered labourer's family, you may also check your eligibility under that scheme before applying.

Scheme Benefits

The Mukhyamantri Medhavi Vidyarthi Yojana provides financial assistance to eligible students pursuing higher education in recognised institutions. Depending on the course and institution, the Government reimburses the admission fee and eligible tuition fee in accordance with the prescribed rules. The assistance varies for Engineering, Medical, Law and other higher education programmes. Students admitted outside Madhya Pradesh in eligible institutions can also receive benefits subject to the scheme guidelines.

General Fee Coverage

Course-wise Financial Assistance

Special Benefits for MBBS Students (From Academic Session 2025-26)

The Government of Madhya Pradesh has introduced special provisions for eligible MBBS students admitted from the academic session 2025-26. Under these provisions, the State Government provides tuition fee assistance equivalent to the prescribed fee of Government Medical Colleges in Madhya Pradesh. If the tuition fee payable by the student exceeds this amount, the remaining fee is provided as an interest-free loan.

After completion of the MBBS course, students who serve in the rural areas of Madhya Pradesh as prescribed by the State Government become eligible for a proportionate waiver of the interest-free loan. Students who successfully complete five years of eligible rural service may receive a full waiver of the outstanding loan. However, if the prescribed rural service is not completed, the remaining loan amount must be repaid to the Government in proportion to the unfulfilled service period. These provisions are applicable only to students admitted to the MBBS course from the academic session 2025-26.
