The PM Laptop Scheme 2026 has been launched again, giving thousands of students across Pakistan a chance to get free laptops. For many families, buying a laptop is still very difficult, and this scheme is meant to make sure that students don’t miss out on online classes, research, or freelancing opportunities just because of financial problems.
How to Check Your Application Status
One of the biggest worries for students is not knowing whether their application has been accepted. To make things easier, the government has introduced a quick online checking system:
- Go to the official website: laptop.pmyp.gov.pk
- Enter your CNIC number
- Select your university from the dropdown list
- You’ll instantly see if your application is approved, under review, or rejected
Required Documents for PM Laptop Scheme 2026
Many applications get rejected because students don’t provide the right documents or details. To avoid this, make sure you have:
- A valid CNIC or B-Form (for NADRA verification)
- University enrolment proof (like your student ID card)
- Recent transcript to confirm your academic progress
- Updated personal details in your university database
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Officials have noticed that students often lose their chance because of very simple errors:
- Entering the wrong CNIC number
- Giving inactive phone numbers or emails
- Not updating academic records on time
- Submitting multiple applications with the same CNIC
What If Your Name Doesn’t Appear?
- First, check with your university’s focal person
- You can also call the PM Youth Programme helpline
- Make sure your CNIC details are correct at NADRA
- If you updated your records recently, wait for the next verification round
Laptop Distribution Delays
Even after approval, some students may wait longer to receive their laptops. Reasons include:
- Delays in university verification
- Missing or incomplete documents
- Shipment and distribution issues
- Late budget releases by the government
Stay in touch with your university and keep your contact information updated. This way, you won’t miss any notification when laptop distribution starts.
