Students have shown tremendous response in the Prime Minter Laptop scheme 2023, as 652,155 students from 143 universities have applied for laptops. The application process ended on June 20, 2023. 1, 00,000 laptops will be distributed amongst the university students under the PM Laptop Scheme 2023.
It may be mentioned here that 1 million laptops were distributed as compared to previous rounds of Laptop Scheme Phase-1 and Phase-2. A foolproof system of selection is designed to ensure transparency. Applications submitted by students are first reviewed and verified by designated Focal Persons at their respective Universities/HEIs. After the initial screening, HEC prepares a merit list from the online system. The merit list will be available online.
Laptops will be distributed purely on the basis of merit, ensuring that academically bright students are rewarded.
Laptop Distribution Criteria:
The distribution criteria have been defined as follows:
- Laptops will be purely distributed on a merit basis in each degree program (Ph.D., MS/M.Phil., and 16 Years of education).
- The share will be determined as per university enrollment, and the laptop quota for each degree program will be determined (i.e., University Quota, Campus Quota, Degree program Quota, Department Quota, and Years-wise distribution).
- As per the PM office directives, Balochistan HEI’s quota has been fixed i.e., 14% (14,000 Laptops) will be distributed in Balochistan HEI. (Note: - Students from Balochistan’s accredited universities would be accommodated under this allocated quota).
- The remaining 86,000 laptops will be allocated among public sector HEIs in accordance with their enrollment preferences.
