Officials confirmed the extension is part of the broader Prime Minister’s Youth Programme, aimed at enhancing digital literacy and promoting smart education across Pakistan. The move is expected to benefit students who missed the earlier deadline, as interest in the scheme continues to grow.

Applicants must meet academic thresholds — a minimum CGPA of 2.80 or 60% marks. First-year undergraduates must provide HSSC results, while early-semester MS/PhD students must submit transcripts from previous degrees.
