A Simplified Guide to Madhya Pradesh’s Key Education Schemes (2025–26)
Madhya Pradesh’s Key Education Schemes: For many students across Madhya Pradesh, education is not just about getting a degree—it’s about rewriting their future. But talent alone isn’t always enough. Financial limitations often stand in the way. That’s why the state government continues to offer well-structured scholarship schemes, ensuring that students don’t have to choose between academic potential and economic pressure.
Mukhyamantri Medhavi Vidyarthi Yojana (MMVY)
For students who have consistently performed well in academics.
This scheme supports meritorious students from General, OBC, SC, and ST categories who’ve scored:
- At least 70% in Class 12 (MP Board) or 85% (CBSE/ICSE)
- Family income must be below ₹6 lakh/year
It covers full tuition fees for professional undergraduate courses like engineering, medicine, law, and management at government and select private colleges.
Mukhyamantri Jan Kalyan (Shiksha Protsahan) Yojana
For the children of unorganised sector workers.
Higher education can feel out of reach when daily survival is the priority. This scheme aims to change that by supporting students whose parents are registered with the Unorganised Workers Welfare Board.
Eligibility includes:
- Selection through competitive exams like NEET, JEE, CLAT, etc.
- Admission to recognised institutions
- Full fee coverage for professional courses
Post Matric Scholarship for Scheduled Tribe (ST) Students
Education beyond Class 10 can be transformative, but also costly. This scheme is specifically for ST students pursuing Class 11 and onwards.
- Family income up to ₹2.5 lakh = full scholarship
- Income above ₹2.5 lakh = partial support
It includes tuition, exam, boarding fees, and a maintenance allowance.
Post Matric Scholarship for Scheduled Caste (SC) Students
Much like the ST scholarship, this is tailored for SC students continuing studies beyond Class 10.
- Family income under ₹2.5 lakh qualifies for complete coverage
- Above that, partial assistance is still available
Support includes tuition fee reimbursement and monthly allowances.
EWS (Economically Weaker Section) Scholarship
Not everyone who needs help fits into traditional reservation categories. That’s where the EWS scholarship comes in—meant for General category students whose family income is under ₹3 lakh/year.
It supports post-matric education (Class 11 onward) through tuition reimbursement and other educational expenses.

Expert Tips from Radical Education
- A lot of students miss out on scholarships simply because they assume they won’t qualify. But you never really know until you check. Take a few minutes to go through the rules—you might be eligible even if you think you’re not.
- When it comes to uploading documents, don’t rush. We’ve seen so many applications rejected just because a file was blurry, too big, or in the wrong format. It’s a small step, but it really matters. Think of it as putting your best foot forward.
- Try not to wait till the last day to apply. Websites slow down, errors creep in, and panic sets in. If you start early, you’ll have enough time to fix anything without the stress.
- Use your own phone number and email when registering. It sounds simple, but it’s so important, especially when you’re waiting for OTPs or application updates. If it’s your future, the details should be yours too.
- And most importantly, don’t hesitate to ask for help. Whether it’s a friend, a teacher, or someone at Radical Education, there’s always someone who can guide you. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
