These Students Can Apply for PM Chromebook Scheme

The federal government has announced eligibility criteria for students seeking to benefit from the Prime Minister’s Youth Chromebook Scheme 2026, which aims to provide digital learning opportunities to academically outstanding students enrolled in government educational institutions across Pakistan.

The initiative is being implemented through the Inter Boards Coordination Commission (IBCC), with applications being processed through a dedicated online portal. Students who appeared in the 20th Annual Examinations 2026 can check their eligibility based on their educational board, class and examination results.

Which Students Are Eligible?

The eligibility criteria vary depending on the region and educational board.

In Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, only top-performing students of Grade 9 (SSC-I) from government schools will be considered for the scheme, based on their Annual Examination 2026 results.

Meanwhile, students in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) and Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) can qualify from both Grade 9 (SSC-I) and Grade 10 (SSC-II).

The scheme is exclusively available to students enrolled in government schools. Students studying in private schools are not eligible to apply.
