CMYKPY Scheme 2026: How to Apply Online, Eligibility, Stipend Amount and Approved Courses

CMYKPY Scheme 2026: How to Apply Online, Eligibility, Stipend Amount and Approved Courses (Updated September 2026)

Maharashtra's Chief Minister Yuva Karya Prashikshan Yojana (CMYKPY) is the state government's flagship skill development stipend scheme — launched to address the employability gap among youth aged 18–35 by providing a ₹6,000–10,000 monthly stipend during approved vocational and technical training. As of September 2026, CMYKPY has disbursed stipends to over 1.1 lakh registered trainees across the state. For students considering courses in data science, AI, CAD/CAM, PLC automation, BIM or IT development, CMYKPY can effectively subsidise 40–70% of course costs while training is underway. This guide tells you exactly who qualifies, what courses are covered, how to apply online step by step, and what to expect at ABC Trainings' approved centres in Pune, Sangli and Sambhajinagar.

What Is the CMYKPY Scheme and Who Is It For?

The Chief Minister's Yuva Karya Prashikshan Yojana (CMYKPY) is a Maharashtra state government scheme administered through the Maharashtra State Skill Development Society (MSSDS). It provides monthly stipends to youth aged 18–35 during approved vocational, technical and IT skill training. The scheme targets students who cannot afford market-rate course fees and aims to build a trained workforce for Maharashtra's manufacturing, IT and services sectors. Unlike a scholarship that covers fees, CMYKPY is a cash stipend paid directly to the student's bank account during training — so it can be used for transport, food, or course fees depending on the student's need. PMKVY 4.0, the national counterpart, has trained 2.1 crore candidates nationally — CMYKPY is Maharashtra's state-level amplification with higher stipend amounts.

CMYKPY Eligibility 2026: Age, Income, Education and Domicile Criteria

To be eligible for CMYKPY in 2026, a candidate must meet all of the following: Age 18–35 years as of the application date. Maharashtra state domicile (domicile certificate from tehsildar required). Annual family income below ₹8 lakh (income certificate from competent authority). Must not be in full-time government employment. Must not be a current recipient of another state stipend scheme. Educational qualification: minimum SSC (Class 10) pass for most technical courses; HSC or diploma for some advanced programs. Aadhaar card is mandatory — your Aadhaar mobile number must be active for OTP verification during online registration. The scheme does not require the student to pay fees upfront; the stipend comes monthly during training.

CMYKPY Stipend Amount 2026: How Much Will You Receive?

The CMYKPY stipend amount in 2026 is ₹6,000 per month for non-metropolitan district centres and ₹10,000 per month for centres located in Pune, Mumbai, Nashik, Nagpur and other metro-class cities. For ABC Trainings centres: Wagholi and Hadapsar (Pune) — ₹10,000/month; Sangli (Vishrambag) — ₹6,000/month; Sambhajinagar/Cidco and Osmanpura — ₹6,000/month. Stipend is paid monthly directly to the student's Aadhaar-linked bank account, subject to minimum 80% attendance. For a 3-month course in Pune, total CMYKPY stipend received = ₹30,000 — which covers or significantly offsets ABC Trainings' course fee of ₹20,000–35,000. Students in Sangli and Sambhajinagar centres receive ₹18,000 over three months, partially offsetting course costs.

Common CMYKPY Application Errors and How to Avoid Them

The most common CMYKPY application errors that cause rejection: (1) Aadhaar name mismatch — your name in the application must exactly match your Aadhaar; even a middle name spelling difference causes rejection. Fix: check your Aadhaar first, update if needed at an Aadhaar centre. (2) Income certificate expired — income certificate must be issued within 6 months of the application date. (3) Bank account not Aadhaar-linked — stipend goes to Aadhaar-linked account only; visit your bank branch to link if not done. (4) Wrong training centre selected — if you select a centre in a different district, your domicile document may not match. Always select the centre closest to your permanent address. (5) Submitting before course start — the application should be submitted within the same week as course registration; submitting months before will not work.
