PM Youth Chromebook Scheme: Karachi Merit List Out, Register on the IBCC Portal

The Prime Minister's Youth Chromebook Scheme is giving 500,000 free Chromebooks to top-performing students of government schools over two years, and registration is open now on the IBCC portal. The Board of Secondary Education Karachi published its merit list on 4 November 2026, naming 14,000 Class 9 students who must now register online to receive their device. Each board sends its own list of top students, so students should check their record on the portal and register promptly, since no national last date has been announced.

Eligibility: Top-performing Grade 9 (SSC-I) students of government schools, based on the Annual Examinations 2026, in Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan; Grade 9 and Grade 10 students in AJK, Islamabad and Gilgit-Baltistan. Only students on their board's list can register, and private school students are not eligible.

Deadline: No national last date announced. BSEK Karachi asks nominated students to register immediately; deadlines differ by board.
