How to Apply for PM VIKAS — Skilling, Education & Women Entrepreneurship for Minorities

There is no central competitive shortlisting round. Once a candidate registers on the SIDH Portal, completes e-KYC and shows interest in a batch, the file moves to the training partner or training centre running that batch.

• The training partner or training centre reviews the application and the candidate's suitability.
• On approval, an invitation is issued and the candidate must accept it through the portal to lock in enrolment.
• A candidate may show interest in up to five batches at a time.
• Progress can be checked in the "Applications" section of the dashboard.
• For the Women Leadership and Entrepreneurship component, candidates who demonstrate aptitude and leadership qualities are the ones specifically selected.
