The PM Chromebook Merit List 2026 has been announced for Karachi, giving the Prime Minister’s Youth Chromebook Scheme its first published list of selected students. The Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) said in a press release issued on 5 November 2026 that the merit list has been uploaded to the board’s official website, so eligible students can now check their results and confirm their selection.
The scheme will give 500,000 free Chromebooks to high-performing students across Pakistan. Karachi’s share is 14,000 students, chosen from government schools on the basis of the Grade 9 (SSC Part-I) Annual Examination 2026. Selected students should check their names on the board’s portal and complete free registration on the IBCC portal without delay.
The list is published: the Karachi merit list has been uploaded to BSEK’s official website, and students can verify their results through the board’s official Chromebook Scheme portal.
Registration is the next step: students who qualify must complete their registration through the Prime Minister’s Youth Chromebook Scheme portal.
Chromebooks will follow: BSEK said selected students will receive their Chromebooks under the scheme.
The scheme gives talented students modern digital learning tools and supports their academic progress.
Karachi Quota: 14,000 Students in Two Groups
Karachi’s 14,000 places split between the two groups:
Science Group: 12,122 students — the large majority of the Karachi list.
General Group: 1,878 students.
Government schools only: the scheme covers students of Karachi’s government and public secondary schools affiliated with BSEK. Private school students are not eligible, and their records are not in the list.
Merit set with IBCC: the merit was prepared with the Inter Boards Coordination Commission (IBCC), under reference IBCC/CB/7-15/2026.
Only toppers are listed: only top government-school students are listed; a missing name means the student was not selected.
How Karachi Students Check and Register
Two portals are involved: BSEK to check the list, and IBCC to register:
Check your name on the BSEK portal: open bsek.edu.pk/#/chromebook-scheme, choose By Roll Number, and enter your 9th class roll number, or choose By School Code to see your school’s nominated students.
Open the IBCC portal: go to pmychromebooks.ibcc.edu.pk. Use this link only, and avoid unofficial websites or agents.
Select your board: under Start your application, select board BSE Karachi.
Enter your details: type your roll number, or your B-Form or registration number (numbers only, no dashes), with your date of birth.
Check pre-filled details: name, father’s name, school and marks come from the BSEK record.
Upload documents and submit: attach each document, up to 300 KB per file, then save the slip with your reference number.
Each student can apply only once, the form cannot be changed after submission, and false information cancels the allocation.
Sindh boards: registration is currently open for BSE Karachi and BISE Larkana. It will open for BISE Hyderabad, Sukkur, Mirpurkhas and Shaheed Benazirabad after those boards announce their 9th class Annual 2026 results.
Other provinces: boards send their eligible Grade 9 lists to IBCC, and registration opens board by board on the same portal. Students should check their own board’s latest notification.
No last date yet: no nationwide deadline has been announced. BSEK has asked nominated students to register immediately, so selected students should not wait.
Free at every stage: registration and the Chromebook are completely free. Never pay any person or agent who promises selection or faster delivery.
