For Madhya Pradesh, do not trust YouTube videos or agents claiming they can “apply” for a free laptop or tablet. I could not confirm a currently open, universal free-device scheme from an official MP source.

Best legitimate routes

  1. MP Board Class 12 merit support MP has previously provided laptop assistance, often discussed as ₹25,000 for eligible meritorious Class 12 students. Eligibility, cutoff, and whether it is active can change each year. Check only through your school principal, district education office, and the official MPBSE student-services page.
  2. Scholarships that free up money for a device Apply for every scholarship you qualify for through the official MP State Scholarship Portal. It includes post-matric and higher-education schemes. This is usually more realistic than waiting for a free laptop.
  3. College support If you are in a government college, ITI, polytechnic, or university, ask the scholarship/Student Welfare office specifically:
    • Is there a laptop/tablet bank or loaner device?
    • Is there an SC/ST/OBC/minority/EWS device grant?
    • Is there a fee reimbursement scholarship that can help you buy a device?
    • Can they issue a student ID/bonafide certificate for discounts?
  4. If you are SC/ST Visit your district Tribal Welfare or Social Justice office with Aadhaar, caste certificate, income certificate, marksheet, bank passbook, and college admission proof. Some support is institution- or district-specific, so the local office is more reliable than viral posts.

Cheapest safe way to buy

For study, a used/refurbished laptop is generally better than a cheap tablet. Target:
  • Laptop: ₹12,000-₹20,000 for a refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad, Dell Latitude, or HP EliteBook with at least 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD
  • Tablet: ₹8,000-₹15,000 only if you mainly need PDFs, recorded classes, notes, and browsing
Before buying refurbished:
  • Buy from a seller offering at least 3-6 months warranty.
  • Check battery, keyboard, charging port, webcam, Wi-Fi, display, SSD health, and charger.
  • Avoid old HDD-only laptops, 4 GB RAM machines, or devices with damaged hinges.
  • Get a proper bill and serial number.

Ways to reduce cost further

  • Ask your college or school for education discounts or partner offers.
  • Use bank-card sale discounts only if you will pay the bill in full. Do not take high-interest EMI for a low-cost device.
  • Check Amazon/Flipkart only during major sales, but compare against refurbished prices.
  • Consider local computer-market shops, but test the laptop fully before paying.
  • If your goal is programming, engineering, design, or online exams, choose a laptop. For only lectures and PDFs, a tablet is enough.

Avoid scams

Never pay an “application fee” or share OTP, UPI PIN, Aadhaar OTP, or bank login for a so-called free-laptop scheme. Verify announcements on official MP portals or at your school/college. The government’s myScheme portal is also useful for checking active schemes.
Tell me your class/course, category if any (General/OBC/SC/ST), and budget. I can suggest the best laptop or tablet options in Madhya Pradesh.

Which MP laptop schemes am I eligible for?

I need a few details to check eligibility accurately.
