What Is the PM Youth Chromebook Scheme 2026?
The PM Youth Chromebook Scheme 2026 is a Chromebook application process for eligible students enrolled in Government/Public Schools. Student eligibility is based on their class, location, and performance in the Annual Examinations 2026.
The rules are not exactly the same in every region. In Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan, the scheme covers top-performing Grade 9 students. In AJK, Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT), and Gilgit-Baltistan (GB), top-performing students from both Grade 9 and Grade 10 are included.
Students must use the official IBCC portal to check their records and submit an application. Completing the form does not guarantee that a student will receive a Chromebook.
Who Can Apply for the Chromebook Scheme?
The most important requirement is that you must be enrolled in a Government/Public School. Students attending private schools are not eligible under the stated rules.
The eligible classes also depend on your region.
| Province or Region | Eligible Class | Examination |
|---|---|---|
| Punjab | Grade 9 (SSC-I), top-performing students | Annual Examinations 2026 |
| Sindh | Grade 9 (SSC-I), top-performing students | Annual Examinations 2026 |
| Khyber Pakhtunkhwa | Grade 9 (SSC-I), top-performing students | Annual Examinations 2026 |
| Balochistan | Grade 9 (SSC-I), top-performing students | Annual Examinations 2026 |
| Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) | Grade 9 (SSC-I) and Grade 10 (SSC-II), top-performing students | Annual Examinations 2026 |
| Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) | Grade 9 (SSC-I) and Grade 10 (SSC-II), top-performing students | Annual Examinations 2026 |
| Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) | Grade 9 (SSC-I) and Grade 10 (SSC-II), top-performing students | Annual Examinations 2026 |
These rules mean that a Grade 10 student in Punjab should not assume they qualify under this scheme. The stated eligibility for Punjab is limited to top-performing Grade 9 students.
Similarly, students in AJK, ICT, and GB should check the rules for their respective region and class.
Your school type matters too. If you study at a private school, you are not eligible under the official criteria described above.
How to Apply Online Step-by-Step
Follow these four steps to complete your PM Youth Chromebook Scheme application.
Step 1: Find Your Record
Visit the official IBCC portal at https://pmychromebooks.ibcc.edu.pk/.
Select your examination board. Then enter the requested identification details. These may include your CNIC or B-Form number, roll number, or registration number, along with your date of birth.
Enter numbers using digits only. Do not add dashes to the identification numbers.
Check everything carefully before continuing. Incorrect information may prevent you from finding your record.
Step 2: Check Your Details
After finding your record, review the information displayed on the portal.
Your name, school, and marks come from your board’s list. Make sure the details shown belong to you and are correct.
If something looks wrong, do not simply assume it will be corrected later. Check with the relevant board or follow the official instructions before submitting your application.
Step 3: Upload Your Documents
Prepare the required documents before starting the application. Upload clear, readable files in the accepted formats.
Each document must be no larger than 300 KB. Blurry photographs, unreadable scans, or files in unsupported formats may cause problems during submission.
Step 4: Submit and Save Your Slip
Review your information and uploaded documents before submitting the form.
After submission, you receive a reference number and an application slip that you can download. Save the slip and reference number somewhere safe so you can refer to them later.
Remember that each student can apply only once. Do not submit multiple applications.
Documents You Need
Prepare these four documents before applying for the Chromebook scheme.
- Recent colour photograph: Use a front-facing photograph with a plain background. The accepted formats are JPG and PNG.
- SSC-I or SSC-II mark sheet: Provide the relevant mark sheet in JPG, PNG, or PDF format, depending on your eligible class.
- Attested B-Form or CNIC copy: Upload an attested copy in JPG, PNG, or PDF format.
- Attested father or guardian CNIC copy: Provide an attested copy in JPG, PNG, or PDF format.
Every file must be clearly readable and must not exceed 300 KB.
Before uploading, open each file to make sure the information is visible. Check that the photograph is clear and that names, numbers, and other details on your documents can be read easily.
How to Get Your Chromebook After You Apply
Submitting the online application is only one part of the process. It does not automatically mean that you will receive a Chromebook.
After applying, keep your reference number and downloaded slip safe. Check the official portal and your relevant board’s notices for any further instructions or updates.
There is no single nationwide last date displayed on the portal. Students should check their own board’s official notice to learn about any applicable deadline.
Do not rely on an unverified date shared on social media or another website. If you are unsure about a deadline or your application status, consult the official source.
The scheme’s stated eligibility rules identify top-performing students, but an application alone does not guarantee selection or delivery of a device.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Avoid these mistakes when applying for the PM Youth Chromebook Scheme 2026:

- Exceeding the file limit: Each document must be no larger than 300 KB.
- Applying more than once: Each student is allowed only one application.
- Ignoring regional eligibility: Check whether your class is included in your province or region.
- Assuming selection is guaranteed: Submitting a form does not guarantee a Chromebook.
