PM Youth Chromebook Scheme Sindh 2026: Eligibility, Boards & How to Apply

By Danial

If you are a student in Sindh, this guide is written for you. The national scheme covers the whole country, but Sindh students have their own boards, their own board lists, and one common mistake that blocks many Karachi applications. Everything below is specific to Sindh: which boards count, which class is eligible, and how to apply without errors.

PM Youth Chromebook Scheme for Sindh Students

The Prime Minister’s Youth Chromebook Scheme, run under the Prime Minister’s Youth Programme with IBCC and the education boards, gives free Chromebooks to top-performing students of government and public schools. Sindh is fully included in the scheme — but with one important difference from some other regions: in Sindh, only Grade 9 students are covered, not Grade 10. (Grade 10 is covered only in Islamabad, Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.)

Selection is merit-based. Your name must appear on the list your Sindh board sent to IBCC. Submitting an application does not by itself guarantee a Chromebook.

Sindh Eligibility Who Can Apply?

• Class: Grade 9 (SSC-I) only, based on Annual Examinations 2026.
• School type: Government and public schools only. Private school students are not eligible under the criteria currently published on the official portal.
• Performance: Top-performing students, as per your board’s merit list.
• One application: Each student can submit only one application, and it cannot be edited after submission.

Sindh Education Boards Covered

When you open the portal, you must select the board under which you appeared in your Grade 9 examination. These are the Sindh boards in the scheme:

Karachi Students Do Not Select the Wrong Board

Karachi has two boards, and this is where most mistakes happen. For Grade 9, Karachi students must select the Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) the secondary board. The Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) is for intermediate (11th and 12th) classes, not for Grade 9. If you select BIEK, the system will not find your Grade 9 record.

How Sindh Students Can Apply (Step-by-Step)

The application process is the same portal for the whole country, but here it is from a Sindh student’s point of view:

Step 1: Open the Official Portal

Go to pmychromebooks.ibcc.edu.pk. Use only this official website do not enter your CNIC or B-Form details on any other website.

Step 2: Select Your Sindh Board

Select your board from the list above (for example, BSEK for Karachi, BISE Hyderabad for Hyderabad division). The system checks your information against the list sent by that board.

Step 3: Find Your Record

Enter your CNIC or B-Form number, roll number, or registration number, along with your exact date of birth as it appears in your official record. Then click “Find My Record”.

Step 4: Check Your Details

Your name, school and marks will be displayed from your board’s list. If anything is wrong, do not submit contact your school or board first.

Step 5: Upload Your Documents

Upload four documents, each under 300 KB: a recent colour photograph (front-facing, plain background), your Grade 9 mark sheet, an attested copy of your B-Form or CNIC, and an attested copy of your father or guardian’s CNIC.

Step 6: Review, Submit and Save Your Slip

What If Your Record Is Not Found?

• Try another identifier: If your B-Form number does not work, try your roll number or registration number.
• Check your board selection: Especially in Karachi make sure you selected BSEK, not BIEK.
• Check your date of birth: It must match your official board record exactly.
• Contact your board or school: If the problem continues, your record may not be on the board’s list yet. Only your board can correct it.
