What is CMYKPY?
Mukhyamantri Yuva Karya Prashikshan Yojana (मुख्यमंत्री युवा कार्य प्रशिक्षण योजना), commonly abbreviated as CMYKPY, is a Maharashtra Government scheme launched in 2024 to give state youth their first real workplace experience while paying them a monthly stipend.
The state has allocated ₹5,500 crore to the scheme and aims to onboard 10 lakh (1 million) interns every year, making it one of India's largest state-level paid internship programmes. Stipends are disbursed monthly via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT)directly to the candidate's bank account — no middlemen.
Internships run at registered partner organisations — private companies, MSMEs, and empanelled training providers — across sectors like IT/ITeS, manufacturing, civil & infrastructure, automotive, and EV. The scheme is designed specifically to bridge the gap between formal education and industry-ready employment for Maharashtra youth.
Eligibility — Who qualifies?
CMYKPY is open to a wide age range and qualification mix — the scheme is designed to be inclusive of 12th-pass students, ITI / diploma holders, and degree holders alike.
| Criterion | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Age | 18 to 35 years |
| Domicile | Maharashtra resident |
| Qualification | 12th pass / ITI / Diploma / Graduate / Post-Graduate |
| Employment | Not currently in full-time employment |
| Bank Account | Aadhaar-linked, DBT-enabled bank account required |
Note: Domicile and exact documentation rules can be updated by the state from time to time. Always verify current requirements on mahaswayam.gov.in.
How much you earn
Your monthly stipend depends on your highest qualification at the time of joining the internship. All amounts are credited monthly via DBT for the full 6-month duration.
How to apply — Step-by-step
Applications are processed entirely through Maharashtra Government's official skill portal. The end-to-end process below typically takes 7–14 days from registration to host-organisation match.
- 1
Register on the Maharashtra Skill portal
Create a candidate profile on mahaswayam.gov.in (Maharashtra Government's official skill & employment portal). Use your Aadhaar number, mobile and a Maharashtra residential address.
- 2
Upload your qualification documents
Add scanned copies of your 12th / ITI / Diploma / Degree marksheet, Aadhaar, domicile certificate (if available), and a passport-size photograph.
- 3

From the list of active schemes on the portal, select CMYKPY and complete the scheme-specific application form. Indicate your preferred sector (IT, civil/BIM, mechanical design, automation, etc.).
- 4
Get matched with a host organisation
Registered partner companies and training providers across Maharashtra post 6-month internship slots. The portal matches you based on your qualification, location and sector preference.
- 5
Start your 6-month internship + receive monthly stipend via DBT
Once selected, you join the host organisation. Your monthly stipend (₹6K / ₹8K / ₹10K based on qualification) is credited directly to your bank account each month through Direct Benefit Transfer.
Combine CMYKPY with ABC's PG Diplomas — Earn While You Learn
CMYKPY by itself gives you a stipend and on-the-job exposure — but it does not directly certify you in a specialist domain like BIM, AI/ML or industrial automation. That's where ABC's PG Diplomas slot in: you do the 6-month internship at your CMYKPY host company while running an evening / weekend / online ABC PG Diploma in parallel. The result:
Earn ₹10K/month
State-paid stipend covers most of your course fee + living costs.
Learn industry skills
ABC's PG Diploma adds the specialist software & domain certification CMYKPY alone doesn't provide.
Get placed
ABC's placement cell connects you to 500+ recruiters for full-time roles after the 6-month internship.
A typical 6-month combo schedule
- · Mon–Fri, 9 AM – 6 PM: CMYKPY internship at host company
- · Mon/Wed/Fri, 7–9 PM: ABC PG Diploma evening batch (or weekend / online)
- · Sat: ABC live-project lab + assignments at our Pune / Aurangabad / Sangli centers
- · End of month 6: ₹60,000 earned + PG Diploma certificate + interview pipeline
