CMYKPY Scheme 2026: How Maharashtra IT Students Can Get ₹10,000/Month Training Stipend

CMYKPY Scheme 2026: How Maharashtra IT Students Can Get ₹10,000/Month Training Stipend (Updated October 2026)

If you are a Maharashtra resident aged 18–35 and planning to join an IT or technical training course in 2026, you may be leaving ₹24,000–₹40,000 on the table by not applying for CMYKPY. The Mukhyamantri Yuva Karya Prashikshan Yojana is a Maharashtra state government scheme that pays students ₹6,000–₹10,000 per month as a stipend while they complete vocational or technical training at an empanelled institute — at no cost to the student. At ABC Trainings, all seven Maharashtra centres (Wagholi, Hadapsar, Cidco N-6, Osmanpura, Sangli Vishrambag, Kolhapur, and Jalna Road) are CMYKPY and PMKVY 4.0 empanelled, which means students enrolling in IT, CAD/CAM, data science, cloud computing, or software testing courses can apply for the stipend immediately. This guide explains how the scheme works, who qualifies, and what you need to do before you pay any course fees.

What Is the CMYKPY Scheme and How Much Stipend Does It Pay in 2026?

The CMYKPY scheme (Mukhyamantri Yuva Karya Prashikshan Yojana) is a Maharashtra government initiative under the Skill Development, Employment and Entrepreneurship Department (MSDE). It pays eligible students a monthly stipend of ₹6,000 (for training duration up to 3 months) or ₹10,000 (for training duration 3–6 months) while they complete approved vocational or technical training at an empanelled training provider. The stipend is paid directly to the student’s bank account — typically within 30–45 days of enrolment verification. The scheme is not a loan; it does not need to be repaid. For a 4-month IT course, the total stipend receivable is ₹40,000, which at most Pune and Sambhajinagar-area institutes fully covers the course fee.

Key figures for 2026: stipend is ₹6,000/month for courses under 3 months; ₹10,000/month for courses 3–6 months. Maximum cumulative benefit per student is ₹60,000 (for a 6-month course). Scheme is active in all districts of Maharashtra including Pune, Aurangabad/Sambhajinagar, Nashik, Sangli, Kolhapur, and Latur.

CMYKPY Eligibility 2026: Who Qualifies and Which Courses Are Covered?

The CMYKPY scheme in 2026 has these eligibility conditions — you must satisfy all of them to receive the stipend:

• Age: 18–35 years as on the date of enrolment
• Domicile: Maharashtra permanent resident (domicile certificate required)
• Education: Minimum 10th pass (SSC) — no upper qualification limit; graduates and postgraduates are eligible
• Employment status: Not currently in a full-time formal employment (part-time work, freelancing, or casual employment is acceptable)
• Bank account: Active bank account in the student’s own name linked to Aadhaar (DBT-enabled)
• Enrolment: Must be enrolled in an MSDE-empanelled training centre (ABC Trainings is empanelled at all Maharashtra locations)

Courses covered at ABC Trainings include: Data Science with Python and ML, AI/ML, Python programming, Full Stack Web Development, Cloud Computing (AWS/Azure), Software Testing, AutoCAD 2D/3D, SolidWorks, Revit Architecture, STAAD Pro, and digital marketing. Courses not currently covered: AUTOSAR/automotive embedded (industrial specialisation — check with coordinator for latest updates).

How to Apply for CMYKPY Stipend at ABC Trainings: Step-by-Step

Applying for the CMYKPY stipend at ABC Trainings is a coordinator-assisted process — you do not need to navigate government portals alone. Here is the step-by-step process:

1. WhatsApp 7774002496 with your pincode: Confirm which ABC Trainings centre is nearest to you and verify that your course is currently empanelled under CMYKPY/PMKVY. Do this before paying any fee.
2. Collect your documents: Aadhaar card, Maharashtra domicile certificate, 10th/12th or degree marksheet, recent passport-size photograph, and DBT-enabled bank account details (account number + IFSC). An income certificate strengthens your application but is not mandatory for the base stipend.
3. Enrol in the course: Complete admission formalities at the ABC Trainings centre. The coordinator registers you on the MSDE / CMYKPY portal and submits your documents. This normally takes 1–3 working days.
4. Attend training and mark biometric/digital attendance: Stipend is attendance-linked. Missing more than 25% of sessions in a month reduces the stipend proportionally. ABC Trainings records attendance digitally for government compliance.
5. Receive stipend in your bank account: Stipend disbursements typically happen monthly after attendance is verified. First payment may take 4–6 weeks from enrolment; subsequent payments are more regular.

The ABC Trainings admissions coordinator handles the paperwork. Your job is to show up to class with your documents ready on Day 1.

CMYKPY vs PMKVY 4.0: What Is the Difference and Can You Get Both?

CMYKPY and PMKVY 4.0 are both active in Maharashtra in 2026 but serve slightly different purposes:

• CMYKPY (state scheme): Maharashtra-specific; stipend ₹6,000–₹10,000/month; managed by Maharashtra MSDE; broader course list; faster disbursement in some districts
• PMKVY 4.0 (Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana — central scheme): National scheme; covers IT-ITeS, BFSI, healthcare, and manufacturing trades; may offer free certification, placement support, and additional post-placement benefits; managed by NSDC

In practice, ABC Trainings checks eligibility for both at enrolment. Students who qualify for both may receive benefits from each scheme, subject to the schemes’ non-duplication rules. The most reliable advice is to let the ABC Trainings coordinator check both portals at the time of admission — they do this routinely and know which scheme gives better benefit for your specific course and district.

FAQs

How much stipend does CMYKPY pay for a 4-month IT course in Maharashtra?

For a 4-month IT course, the CMYKPY stipend is ₹10,000/month (courses 3+ months), totalling ₹40,000 over the course duration. This amount is paid directly to your Aadhaar-linked bank account in monthly instalments after attendance verification. For a course fee in the ₹30,000–₹40,000 range, the stipend effectively makes the course free. WhatsApp 7774002496 with "CMYKPY [your city]" to confirm current empanelment status for your chosen course.

Is CMYKPY available for college graduates, or only for school leavers?

Yes — CMYKPY is available for all Maharashtra residents aged 18–35 who have passed at least 10th standard (SSC). There is no upper qualification restriction: graduates (B.E., B.Sc., BA, BCom) and postgraduates are fully eligible. The scheme is specifically designed to help youth at all educational levels gain employable skills, so a B.Tech graduate who wants to upskill in data science or cloud computing qualifies on the same terms as a 12th-pass student.

What happens if I miss classes — does the CMYKPY stipend get cut?

Yes — CMYKPY stipend is attendance-linked. The government guidelines require a minimum of 75% monthly attendance for full stipend payment. Missing sessions below this threshold reduces the stipend proportionally for that month. ABC Trainings records attendance digitally for MSDE compliance. If you miss a session due to illness or an emergency, inform the coordinator — they can sometimes accommodate make-up sessions. Consistent attendance (attending all or nearly all sessions) is the simplest way to ensure full stipend receipt.

Can I apply for CMYKPY at ABC Trainings even if I have already paid part of the fee?

CMYKPY registration is typically done at the time of enrolment — it must be completed before the batch starts, not partway through. If you have already paid part of the fee, come to the centre immediately and speak to the coordinator: if your batch has not yet started or started very recently, there may still be a window to enrol you on the portal and get the stipend from the start of the batch. WhatsApp 7774002496 urgently with "CMYKPY late apply" and your batch start date to check.
