IT and ITeS Policy of Uttar Pradesh 2022 - Skill Development

Key Features

• Reimbursement of 50% of the course fee: If you as an individual (domicile of UP) undertake a certified training in an emerging technology (for example AI, data analytics, cloud computing) from an empanelled training provider, the state will reimburse half of the fee you paid. This reduces your cost burden for upskilling.
• Maximum reimbursement ₹ 50,000 per candidate: The reimbursement is capped. So even if your course fee is higher, the maximum you can get back is ₹ 50,000 per candidate, helping you budget accordingly and choose eligible courses.
• Applies to UP domiciled individuals: To qualify, the candidate must be domiciled in Uttar Pradesh, ensuring that the benefit is targeted at the state’s workforce and supports local IT/ITeS units.
• Training providers and eligible courses empanelled via a standing committee: The policy sets up a mechanism: a standing committee made of IT/ITeS companies, industry associations and academic institutions will decide which courses and which training providers qualify. You must ensure your course is on that list or apply when it becomes.
• Collaboration of UP SDM with industry and academia: The policy states the UP Skill Development Mission will partner with leading industry players and academic institutions for delivering and facilitating these trainings. That means there is institutional support and possibly linkages to employment pathways after training.
