Hi friends, hello everyone. Who will get free laptops under the free laptop scheme provided by the Tamil Nadu government? They have given it as if it will be available to all those who are studying in arts and science, engineering, MBBS, BDS, and diploma.
Who Will Get Free Laptops?
The Tamil Nadu government has given an exclusive interview to the minister. They have given complete information on when it will be available and who will get it to whom on the new generation news channel. I am going to share that information with you.
Who is going to give this laptop? They are going to give it to the students who are studying in the final year in the 2025-26 academic year. Who is in the final year? Especially Arts and Science? Private college? Many of you must be wondering, and we have a detailed answer for that too.
Laptop Brands, Specs & Quality Check
Almost 2000 crore rupees were spent on this laptop, and the laptop has come to Tamil Nadu. Especially in Chennai, a warehouse has arrived. Brand new laptops have arrived, packed and ready for you. Especially three major companies have arrived. Not only that, but if you look at this laptop, only three companies, like Dell, Acer, and HP, have come and participated in this tender.
They have come and given a laptop for 20,000 to 23,000. The Tamil Nadu government’s ELCOT company has come and made a direct purchase. They have checked the quality, especially the configuration, and they have installed good software, and their engineering students have come and installed all those programs so that they can work on them.
Next, many people must have asked who this laptop is for. What are they going to do first? There are 180 government arts and science colleges in Tamil Nadu. Thousands of students are studying in them. They are giving them to final-year students. Because they will finish this academic year, and in three months they will come and write the sixth and seventh semester exams and come out.
They are giving them to them and sending them away with satisfaction. They are going to give it to second-year students next year. Now they will give it to those who are studying in the first year the next year. Many people are asking that it be for second-year students, but no, the information given by our Tamil Nadu government is that it is for students who can study in the third year.
Next, there are more than 30 government engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu. If you look at places like Anna University, they are in their respective districts. There are many streams to study there, especially ECE. In all the streams to study there, there is a four-year course for final-year engineering—for students who can study in the fourth year.
If you look at that, who is next? Medical colleges—they have good students, and they give them to students who can study medicine. There are more than 30 government medical colleges where you can study MBBS and BDS.
You will be wondering who is next. Who is next on our list? Polytechnic. That is, various types of technology. After completing 10th and 12th, they will come directly and take ECE like this, or they will take a lot of diplomas in mechanics like this. This laptop is ready for them, for students who can study polytechnic.
Next, for the students who are waiting and waiting, we can say 7.5% reservation. If you look, even if you study in a government school from class 6 to 12 and go to a private college for MBBS, BDS, or any other private college with a 7.5 reservation, students who can study in a private college can expect this. Private colleges—Before this, all we saw were government colleges; now we see that there are students who can go to private colleges with a 7.5% reservation.

Next, if you ask who we have, it is for third-year students who can get 1000 rupees per month in two schemes called Tamil Puthuvan and Pudumai Pen. You are those 7.5 third-year students, final-year students. Similarly, this Tamil son, this innovative woman, has come and said that this is applicable to final-year students, final-year students of private colleges—you should read the heading carefully—this is applicable to private colleges.
Next, many people are eagerly waiting—if the students on the list were studying in private colleges and had received SC/ST scholarships, they will definitely have them. They also came and brought this scheme so that laptops can reach the common people. If you look at that, those students can get them by showing those documents.
Especially when it starts, the Chief Minister will inaugurate it at a function in the first week of next month. The District Collector of the respective district has asked the principals of the respective colleges to distribute it. Because time is very limited. This government, especially in these five years, has an arrangement that these schemes should reach 10 lakh people and be given quickly.
Not only that, but if you look at when they are planning to complete it, by the month of February, that is, by the end of February 2026. Because the election date will come in the first week of March, and the model code of conduct will come. In that case, before that, the Election Commission will come a lot and say that all the free schemes should not be given.
With this eagerness to complete by February, especially science students have bought these laptops to fulfill their dreams, and engineering students, including computer programmers, have now come to quantum computing, and this laptop is going to decorate their homes so that they can use various things like this for creative purposes.
