MP Medhavi Vidyarthi Yojana: Financial Support for Bright Students in Madhya Pradesh

The Madhya Pradesh government continues its commitment to promoting higher education through the Medhavi Vidyarthi Yojana, a flagship scheme aimed at supporting academically talented students from economically weaker backgrounds.

MP Medhavi Vidyarthi Yojana: Financial Support for Bright Students in Madhya Pradesh

Under this scheme, the state government bears the cost of higher education—including tuition and admission fees—for students who have scored high marks in their Class 12 board exams. Eligible students can pursue undergraduate degrees in engineering, medical, law, management, and other professional fields at government or recognized private institutions.

Qualification: Students Must Have Scored At Least 70%

To qualify, students must have scored at least 70% in the MP Board or 85% in CBSE/ICSE exams and belong to families with an annual income of less than ₹6 lakh. Once verified, the government directly deposits the fee amount into the institution’s account, ensuring seamless admission for the students.

The scheme reflects the states broader goal of improving access to quality education and reducing financial barriers that prevent meritorious students from continuing their studies. Over the years, thousands of students across Madhya Pradesh have benefited from the initiative, paving the way for a more skilled and educated youth population. 

Notably, the scheme does not limit students to specific colleges within the state; those admitted to recognized national institutions such as NITs, IITs, AIIMS, or NLUs are also eligible, provided they meet the academic and income criteria. This makes the initiative particularly beneficial for students aiming to pursue competitive professional careers without being held back by financial constraints.

State education officials have urged school principals and district education officers to actively promote the scheme so that no deserving student misses out. The government has also launched awareness campaigns through social media, schools, and community programs to reach students in rural and remote areas.
