Who is Eligible for the CM Punjab Laptop Scheme 2025?
To ensure the laptops reach deserving students, the government has set clear eligibility criteria. Here’s a detailed look at who can apply:
1. Punjab Domicile is a Must
You must be a resident of any district within Punjab province. If you hold a Punjab domicile, you’re eligible to apply, provided you meet the other conditions too.

The scheme is only for students studying in public sector institutions. You must be:
- Enrolled in the 1st or 2nd semester of a BS (Bachelor’s) program, or
- A first-year student of MBBS or BDS in a government medical or dental college.
Students in private universities or later semesters are not eligible.
3. Academic Performance Matters
The government is rewarding hard-working students. So, your Intermediate (HSSC) marks will be checked. Here’s what you need:
- BS Students (General Stream): At least 65% marks in Intermediate exams.
- MBBS/BDS Students: At least 80% marks in Intermediate exams.
This requirement ensures that the laptops go to students who have shown academic dedication.
