Rajasthan Free Laptop Scheme

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

Rajasthan Free Laptop Scheme is a government initiative that supports digital education by helping meritorious students access laptops or tablets. The scheme covers selected students studying in Classes 8th, 10th and 12th and aims to improve their access to digital learning and educational technology. Students can use these devices to support their studies and make greater use of digital educational resources.

Earlier, the Rajasthan Government provided laptops/ tablets directly to selected meritorious students under the laptop distribution programme. The selection was based on merit, with students meeting the prescribed marks criteria considered for state-level and district-level merit lists. Under the established criteria, students securing 75% or more marks were considered at the state level, while students securing 70% or more marks were considered at the district level.

The benefit mechanism has now changed under the Rajasthan Budget 2026-27. The government has announced financial assistance of up to Rs. 20,000 through an e-Voucher for selected meritorious students studying in Classes 8th, 10th and 12th. Students can use this e-Voucher to purchase a laptop or tablet themselves. This new provision is also referred to as Rajasthan Laptop Voucher Yojana. Rajasthan also runs other student-focused initiatives, such as the Rajasthan Gargi Puraskar Yojana, which provides incentives to eligible girl students.

The Secondary Education Department, Rajasthan is responsible for the implementation of Free Laptop Scheme. The government has also set a target to distribute 33,000 laptops during the financial year 2026-27 and allocated Rs. 11.72 crore for the laptop distribution programme. The initiative continues Rajasthan's focus on providing digital-device support to meritorious students while introducing an e-Voucher-based method of assistance.

Students looking for information about the Rajasthan Free Laptop Yojana can check the eligibility criteria, merit requirements, assistance amount, distribution target and application process in this article. The information will be updated if the Rajasthan Government issues further guidelines or makes changes to the implementation process for the current academic session.
