So, you’ve successfully submitted your application for the PM Laptop Scheme Phase 4 (2025) — great job! But what happens next? Many students believe the process ends after clicking the “Submit” button. In reality, there are a few important steps you must take to ensure your application progresses smoothly through the system.
Here’s a complete guide on what to do after applying to maximize your chances of being selected and avoid any issues.
1. Save and Secure Your Tracking ID
Once you submit your application at www.pmyp.gov.pk, you receive a Tracking ID. This is your reference number for everything moving forward — whether it’s checking your application status, contacting support, or verifying your name on the merit list.
Make sure to:
-
Screenshot or print your confirmation page
-
Save the tracking ID in your email or phone notes
-
Don’t share it publicly to avoid misuse
2. Check Your Application Status Regularly
HEC allows you to monitor the progress of your application using your CNIC or Tracking ID. Your status could show as:
-
“Submitted”
-
“Under Verification”
-
“Shortlisted”
-
“Rejected” (with reason)
Checking regularly ensures you catch any updates or alerts early. Log in weekly to stay informed.
3. Verify Your Academic Data with University Focal Person
HEC does not rely solely on your application — your university must verify your data. This includes your enrollment status, semester, program type, and academic performance.
Here’s what you should do:
-
Visit your department or admin office
-
Ask about the focal person handling the PM Laptop Scheme
-
Confirm your academic data has been submitted and is accurate
-
Correct any discrepancies before the verification window closes
Applications without verification may be rejected, even if you’re fully eligible.
4. Watch for Merit List Announcements
After all applications are verified, HEC will publish merit lists. If you’re selected, your status will change to “Shortlisted,” and you’ll be notified via:
-
SMS
-
Email
-
PMYP portal update
-
University announcements
Make sure your contact information on the portal is accurate and active.

5. Prepare Your Documents for Distribution
If shortlisted, you’ll be invited to a laptop distribution ceremony at your university or a nearby venue. Prepare these documents ahead of time:
-
Original CNIC or B-form
-
University ID card
-
Printed application confirmation
-
Proof of enrollment (if required)
Having these ready will ensure a smooth handover process.
6. Don’t Fall for Scams or Fake Calls
There are always people trying to exploit popular schemes. Avoid third-party agents or fake websites claiming to “confirm your selection” or offering fast-track options.
-
Only trust the official site: www.pmyp.gov.pk
-
Never pay any money — the scheme is 100% free
-
Report suspicious activity to your university or HEC

Submitting your application for PM Laptop Scheme Phase 4 is just the beginning. To stay ahead, follow up on your status, verify your data, and prepare for the next steps. This laptop isn’t just a reward — it’s a powerful tool to support your education, freelancing career, and digital future.
