The CM Punjab Laptop Scheme 2025 does not require students to apply online. Instead, educational institutions will compile data on eligible students.

The validated data will be submitted to the Higher Education Commission (HEC) Punjab, which will release the final lists of selected students.

Distribution Timeline

  • Registration: Begins in February 2025
  • Distribution: Expected to start after Ramadan, likely in April or May 2025

Earlier this month, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz confirmed that the first shipment of laptops had arrived in Pakistan.

Ceremonies will be held across multiple locations to distribute laptops under the Honhaar Scholarship Programme.
