On February 15, 2026, the Punjab government officially announced an extension to the Chief Minister's Laptop Scheme, now allowing students until February 28, 2026, to apply for free laptops. This extension is aimed at increasing accessibility for students, particularly those from private universities who achieve at least 65 percent marks. Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif is expected to launch the laptop distribution in Gujranwala Division, reinforcing the government's commitment to enhancing digital resources for students across the province. The official application portal remains cmlaptophed.punjab.gov.pk, ensuring that more eligible students can benefit from this initiative.
