Free laptop programs help deserving students study, learn digital skills and apply for jobs. The federal PM Youth Laptop Scheme is managed by HEC for public-sector university students. The CM Punjab Laptop Program serves students with a Punjab domicile. In October 2026 the government also announced the PM Youth Chromebook Scheme for high-scoring Grade 9 students.
Criteria, quotas and dates change with every phase. Figures on this page come from government and university notices and news reports available at the time of writing. Please confirm everything on the official portal before applying.
No. Government laptop schemes are merit-based and limited in number. Meeting the criteria lets you apply, but the final list is decided by the government or the Higher Education Commission.
No. Applications on the official portals are free. Anyone asking for money, a WhatsApp payment or a CNIC photo to “process” your laptop is a scammer.
Students who already received a laptop under any federal or provincial scheme are not eligible again, so most students should pick the scheme that matches their institution and province.
The PM Youth Chromebook Scheme announced on 25 October 2026 targets high-scoring Grade 9 (SSC-I) students with a minimum of 50% marks, with results validated by IBCC.
No. It is a free helper that compares your answers with the published criteria. It does not collect your data, and it cannot guarantee a laptop. Always confirm on the official portal.
Usually your CNIC or B-Form, domicile (for provincial schemes), latest result card or transcript, institution enrolment proof and an active mobile number. Check the notice of your scheme for the exact list.
Schemes usually open in phases. Watch the official portal and your university or board notices for the next round, and keep your documents ready.
