The clock is ticking for students who wish to benefit from one of the most impactful educational initiatives in Pakistan—the PM Laptop Scheme 2025 – Phase 4. With thousands of applications already submitted, it’s important to remind all eligible students that the last date to apply is May 20, 2025.
If you’re still thinking about applying or waiting until the last minute, now is the time to act. Here’s everything you need to know to ensure you don’t miss out on this opportunity.
Why This Scheme Matters
The Prime Minister’s Laptop Scheme is not just about giving away free laptops—it’s about bridging the digital divide and empowering students to compete in a fast-paced, technology-driven world. Under Phase 4, the government plans to distribute 100,000 laptops to deserving students across Pakistan’s public sector universities.
These laptops can change the course of a student’s academic journey by enabling:
-
Access to online classes and e-learning platforms
-
Research and academic writing
-
Skill development through freelancing, graphic design, programming, etc.
-
Global certifications and online work-from-home opportunities
Who Can Apply?
The scheme is specifically for students currently enrolled in HEC-recognized public sector universities and degree-awarding institutes. You are eligible to apply if:
-
You are studying in a BS (4-year), Master’s, MS/MPhil, or PhD program
-
Your university is listed as eligible on the PMYP portal
-
You have a valid CNIC or B-form
-
You have not received a laptop in any previous phase
-
Your academic record meets the merit criteria
Students from private universities, affiliated colleges, or short diploma programs are not eligible.
What Happens After the Deadline?
Once the portal closes on May 20, 2025, HEC will begin the data verification process. Universities will confirm your academic enrollment, and your details will be reviewed before merit lists are finalized. Any applications submitted after the deadline will not be accepted under any circumstances.
This is why it’s critical to complete your application well before the deadline—not just to secure your spot but also to avoid last-minute technical issues or incomplete submissions.
How to Apply Before the Deadline
To apply, follow these steps:
-
Visit www.pmyp.gov.pk
-
Create an account using your CNIC and email
-
Fill in your academic and personal details
-
Upload the required documents (CNIC, University ID, transcript)
-
Submit the form and save your tracking ID
Students can also apply through the PMYP mobile app, available on Android and iOS, making the process easier for those without a computer.
Final Reminder
If you’re a student aiming to move forward in academics, freelancing, or the digital world, this scheme is your stepping stone. Don’t wait until the last minute. Log in, apply, and secure your chance to own a laptop that could help shape your future.
Remember—May 20, 2025, is the final deadline. After that, the window will close, and there will be no second chance in this phase. Be smart, be timely, and take action now.
