• You must be currently enrolled in a public sector university, government college, or a technical, medical, or agricultural institute in Punjab.

• You should be in the first or second semester of your degree or diploma program.

• You must have secured at least 65% marks in Intermediate exams (and 80% for medical/dental students).

• You must not have received a laptop in any of the previous government schemes.

• You need to complete biometric verification via NADRA’s e-Sahulat centers.

This scheme is strictly for eligible and verified students only. If you meet all these criteria, you’re already one step closer to receiving your laptop.

What’s New in Phase 2?

The government has simplified the registration process this time around. Unlike the first phase, students do not need to fill out any forms themselves. Your educational institution will send your data directly to the Higher Education Department (HED). After that, you only need to:

1. Visit any NADRA e-Sahulat Center with your CNIC or B-form.

2. Complete the biometric verification.

3. Wait for confirmation and status update on the official portal.

This makes the process smooth, transparent, and less time-consuming for students and institutions alike.

Laptop Specifications

Each selected student will receive a high-performance laptop with:

• 13th Generation Intel Core i7 processor

• 16 GB RAM

• 512 GB Solid State Drive (SSD)

• Pre-installed Windows 11 and Microsoft Office

• One-year official warranty

These laptops are perfect for online classes, research, coding, graphic designing, and general academic work.

Special Quotas Reserved

The Punjab Government has also made the scheme more inclusive by allocating special quotas:

• 32% quota reserved for students from South Punjab

• 2,000 laptops are specifically reserved for minority students

• Female students are strongly encouraged to apply

• Equal opportunity is given to students of technical, medical, and agricultural backgrounds

This inclusive approach ensures that talented students from all regions and backgrounds can benefit equally.

Important Documents You’ll Need

To ensure a smooth verification process, make sure you have:

• Your original CNIC or B-form (if under 18)

• A recent passport-sized photo

• Your Intermediate marks sheet

• Your college/university ID card or enrollment slip

• A valid Punjab domicile

How to Check Your Status?

After your college or university submits your data and you complete biometric verification, you can:

1. Visit the official laptop scheme portal: [cmslaptop.hed.punjab.gov.pk]

2. Enter your CNIC or student ID

3. Check your current status (Verified, Pending, or Ineligible)

If your name is missing or there is an error in your details, contact your institution immediately to have it corrected.

Conclusion

If you’re a hardworking student in Punjab, this is your chance to own a powerful laptop absolutely free of cost. With online registration starting in August 2025, now is the perfect time to prepare your documents and ensure your college submits your details on time. Complete your biometric verification early and keep an eye on the official website for updates. The CM Punjab Laptop Scheme Phase 2 is all about supporting education, empowering youth, and preparing students for a tech-driven future.
