Golden Opportunity for Students: Government Launches Free Laptop Scheme 2025

ISLAMABAD: The Government of Pakistan has officially launched the **Prime Minister’s Laptop Scheme 2025** for college and university students across the country. The initiative aims to support students who cannot afford to purchase laptops due to financial constraints.

Officials stated that the primary objective of the scheme is to facilitate education, online learning, freelancing, and research, enabling students to play a more effective role in the digital economy.

**Online Application Status Check Introduced**
In past phases of the scheme, many students complained about not knowing whether their applications were approved or rejected. To resolve this, the government has introduced an online verification system. By entering their CNIC number and selecting their university on the official PM Youth Program website, applicants can instantly check if their application is *approved, under review,* or *rejected.*

**Required Documents for Application:**

Valid CNIC or NADRA-verified B-Form
Student ID card or enrollment proof issued by the university
Latest academic transcript
Updated personal information in the university database

**Why Laptop Delivery May Be Delayed:**
Despite approval, laptop delivery may sometimes be delayed due to:

Errors in CNIC numbers
Inactive mobile numbers or email addresses
Outdated academic records
Multiple applications under the same CNIC

How to File Complaints:
Students who face issues—such as their names missing from the list or technical errors in the application—can contact their university’s focal person or lodge a complaint via the PM Youth Program helpline.

The scheme is expected to significantly enhance students’ access to digital resources, contributing to education, freelancing, and innovation in Pakistan.
