The Prime Minister’s Youth Laptop Scheme has extended its registration deadline from May 20 to June 1, 2025.
An official from the Prime Minister’s Youth Programme said on Monday that the extension opens “a new window of opportunity for students to enhance their digital literacy and academic performance.”
The application deadline was set for May 20, 2025. The new deadline will give students across Pakistan additional time to apply for free laptops under the government’s flagship digital empowerment initiative.
Last month, the federal government officially relaunched the Prime Minister’s Youth Laptop Scheme for 2025, aiming to distribute 100,000 laptops to high-achieving students nationwide.
Federal Minister for Education and Professional Training Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui chaired the second meeting of the special committee for the Top Minister’s Laptop Scheme (Phase IV) in Islamabad.

The meeting was attended by several prominent figures, such as Chairman of the Prime Minister’s Youth Programme, Rana Mashhood Ahmad Khan; Federal Minister for Public Affairs, Rana Mubashir Iqbal; Balochistan’s Minister for Education, Raheela Hameed Khan Durrani; former leader Minister of Gilgit-Baltistan, Hafiz Hafeez ur Rehman; former Deputy Speaker of the countrywide assembly, Murtaza Javed Abbasi; and previous Senator, Nehal Hashmi.
Dr. Siddiqui emphasized that empowering the youth with digital tools is crucial for national development. “The youth are both the present and the future of Pakistan. The prime minister’s initiative to distribute laptops will not only increase economic growth but also allow young Pakistanis to become productive members of society,” he stated.
During the briefing, it was discovered that 100,000 laptops will be distributed to begin with, with the capacity to expand the number to 500,000 laptops in future phases. Provincial representatives were actively concerned about formulating the standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the fair and obvious disbursement of the laptops.
Dr. Siddiqui affirmed that all essential measures are being taken to meet the scheme’s deadlines. He also expressed optimism about the country’s potential to capitalize on the current positive momentum and turn it into meaningful progress.
