PM Laptop Scheme 2025 Merit List – Check Online Merit Status (Phase-IV)
The PM Laptop Scheme 2025 merit list has now been announced by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) under the Prime Minister’s Youth Laptop Scheme Phase-IV (2024–25). Universities across Pakistan, including Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and AJK, have started publishing their merit lists for eligible students. If you applied earlier this year, you can now check your status online using your CNIC number on the official portal.
What Is the PM Laptop Scheme 2025 All About?
The Prime Minister’s Laptop Scheme is part of the Prime Minister Youth Programme (PMYP), launched to promote digital inclusion among students enrolled in public sector universities. The government’s main goal is to empower students with modern technology so they can access digital libraries, research resources, and e-learning platforms without limitations.
In this Phase-IV cycle (2024–25), thousands of laptops are being distributed purely on merit, ensuring that only academically deserving students benefit. The scheme has already helped thousands of students from rural and urban areas build their skills, especially in fields like IT, engineering, and social sciences.

Students must bring the following documents at the time of collection:
