Registration Process
The CM Punjab Laptop Scheme 2025 diverges from conventional methods by not offering an online application process. Instead, educational institutions must gather information on qualified students, which will be verified and sent to the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Punjab for final approval and to create the distribution list.
Distribution will start after Ramadan in 2025, and registration will begin in February 2025. Expectedly, the distribution will occur between April and May.
Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz confirmed the arrival of the first batch of laptops in Pakistan, signalling the readiness of the government to proceed with the planned ceremonies.
