Advanced: PKR 450,000

All categories come with the option of repayment in small monthly installments spread over several years.

Eligibility is open to Pakistani citizens aged 18 to 35. The government has highlighted three main groups for this program:

University and college students

Freelancers working online

Early-career professionals

Priority will go to individuals from low-income families, while government employees are not eligible to apply.

Documents Needed

To apply, candidates must upload:

CNIC (front and back)

A recent passport-size photo

Academic certificates or university admission documents

Freelancers can share links to their verified work profiles (e.g., Fiverr, Upwork)

How to Apply

Applications will only be accepted online through the official PM Youth Program portal, making the process accessible to people across the country.

Officials believe this initiative will not only expand access to laptops but also strengthen Pakistan’s growing freelancing and IT sectors by equipping youth with essential digital resources.
