The federal government has revised the eligibility criteria for the Laptop Scheme, making it more inclusive and merit-based.
Under the updated guidelines, the Laptop Scheme now allows students enrolled in public and recognized universities or colleges to apply. Eligible programs include Bachelor’s, Master’s, M.Phil, and Ph.D. degrees.
Officials emphasized that the changes aim to ensure transparency and fairness in the selection process. Applicants will be assessed based on academic performance, verified domicile, and other pre-set criteria.
“The updated Laptop Scheme ensures that more students benefit from digital education while maintaining a merit-based process,” said a government spokesperson.
How to Apply for the Laptop Scheme
Students can apply for the scheme by following these steps:
- Register at their respective universities or colleges.
- Submit an application on the official Laptop Scheme website.
- Provide accurate academic records and identification documents.
- Wait for the merit list, which determines laptop distribution based on ranking.
The federal government stated that the revised Laptop Scheme is designed to provide equal access to modern technology across Pakistan. The initiative seeks to support students in enhancing their learning and research capabilities using digital tools.
Officials also highlighted that the scheme will prioritize transparency and accountability, ensuring laptops reach deserving students without delays.
This move aligns with the government’s broader education policy to integrate technology into learning and prepare students for a competitive digital world.
The Laptop Scheme has previously benefited thousands of students nationwide, and the updated criteria aim to expand its reach further, particularly among postgraduate and research-level students.
With these reforms, students can now expect a fairer and more inclusive process to gain access to essential digital resources under the Prime Minister’s Youth Laptop Scheme.
