Scheme objectives and beneficiary coverage
- Digital empowerment: Equips students from rural and economically weaker families with computing hardware for online education, competitive exam preparation, and digital skills.
- Target academic streams: Final-year and enrolled students in undergraduate, postgraduate, ITI, polytechnic diploma, nursing, and skill development courses.
- Zero application fee: Devices are distributed completely free of cost by state governments without requiring any registration fee or agent payment.
Institutional registration and verification workflow
Individual students generally do not need to apply on external commercial websites. Instead, accredited colleges and educational institutions upload enrolled student data directly onto the official state portal (such as digishakti.up.gov.in). District administrations verify student enrollment records before scheduling campus distribution ceremonies.
Avoiding online fraud and verifying official lists
Students should beware of fraudulent phishing websites and fake social media links demanding registration fees for free laptops. Official beneficiary lists, distribution dates, and device allocation status can only be tracked through college administrations or official state government education portals.
