The Mukhiya Mantri Protsahan Yojna is a state scholarship from the Government of Himachal Pradesh. The Himachal Pradesh ePASS portal lists it as Mukhiya Mantri Protsahan Yojna(One-time Incentive). Students may also see it spelled Mukhya Mantri or Mukhyamantri. A single payment of Rs. 75,000 goes to each eligible student.
The award covers students who take up a degree course at an IIT, AIIMS, ISM Dhanbad or IISc Bangalore, and students who take up a PG diploma at an IIM. The official pages I could read do not state a last date for the 2026-27 session, so check the portal before you plan your application.
What you get
The official listing gives one amount for every institute it names: Rs. 75,000, paid once. It does not set a different amount by course, level or category. The official pages do not name the session this amount applies to.
Who can apply
- Himachali students. A Himachali Bonafide Certificate is one of the documents you must provide.
- Students admitted to a degree course at an IIT or AIIMS. ISM Dhanbad and IISc Bangalore were added to the list of institutions eligible for award under this scheme w.e.f. 2014-15.
- Students admitted to a Post Graduate Diploma course at an IIM.
- Students who have been selected and have taken admission. The listing covers only the institutes named above, so admission elsewhere does not qualify under this scheme.
The official pages I could read set no rule on family income, category, marks or age for this scheme.
How to apply
- Take admission to one of the listed institutes first. The award follows selection and admission.
- Fill in the online scholarship form. The printed copy is produced after successful online submission of form.
- Print the submitted form, attach your documents, and hand them to the Head of your institute, who keeps them on record.
- Your institute checks the form online and sends the attested printed form to the Directorate. The Institution will forward the duly attested printed form (after successful online verification) along with the Verified Candidate List(s) for online verification and safekeeping.
- A form that reaches the Head of Institute on paper only goes back to you, and you must fill it online and submit the printed copy. In case, any offline application form is received by the Head of the Institute, he / she is directed to return the same to the concerned student.
Apply through the Himachal Pradesh ePASS state sponsored schemes page.
