How to Check Your Record for the Chromebook Scheme, Step by Step

Everything in the PM Youth Chromebook Scheme 2026 starts with one search. Before documents, before submission, before anything else, the portal has to find you. This guide walks through that search slowly: what to keep in front of you, what to type, what a found record means, and what to do first when the screen says nothing was found. If you want the full picture of the scheme first, start with our Chromebook scheme overview and come back here when you are ready.

Step 1: Get your numbers ready before you open the portal

Do not start typing from memory. Sit down with the actual documents first. You can search with either of these:

Your CNIC or B-Form number. Most school students search with their B-Form number, since that is the number their school and board records usually carry.
Your board roll number or registration number. Use the number from your board documents or your roll number slip, copied digit by digit.

You also need your date of birth, exactly as it appears on your B-Form and in your board record. "Exactly" matters here. If the board holds a different date than the one you type — even one day different — the search can fail even though your record exists.

Step 2: Open the real portal, and only the real portal

Type the address yourself: pmychromebooks.ibcc.edu.pk. Do not follow a link from a social media post or a messaging forward, and do not use a look-alike page someone sent you. Fake pages copy the real one's look and then ask for money or documents. The real portal never charges you anything, at this step or any other.

Step 3: Enter your details and press "Find my record"

Enter your chosen number and your date of birth in the record check, then use the "Find my record" option. Type slowly. Roll and registration numbers are long, and one swapped digit points the search at a different student — or at nobody. Before you press the button, read the number back against your document once, out loud if it helps.

If the first number does not work, try the other one before you worry. A student whose B-Form search fails sometimes finds the record straight away with the board roll or registration number, simply because the board uploaded its data keyed to its own numbers.

Step 4: If your record is found, read it like a teacher would

A found record means your board has sent your details to the portal and you are in the system. Now slow down. Check your name, your father's name, your date of birth, your school and your board against your real documents, line by line.

This check is not a formality. Your record feeds everything after it, and once you submit there are no changes. If a detail on the portal record is wrong — a misspelled name, a wrong school — do not submit over it. Take it to your school office and ask them to raise it with the board, because the portal record comes from board data. Our list of mistakes that spoil applications shows how much trouble one uncorrected detail can cause later.

When the record looks right, the portal moves you on to documents. Keep each file at 300 KB or smaller, and submit only after a final read-through.

Step 5: If nothing shows up, work this order

A "not found" result scares students, but it usually has a plain reason. Work through these in order before you assume the worst:

Re-type the number. Copy it from the document again, digit by digit, and check your date of birth format matches what the portal asks for.
Try your other number. If you searched by B-Form, search by roll or registration number, and the other way round.
Confirm your details with your school. Ask the school office which exact number and date of birth your board holds for you. Students are often surprised: the date in the board record is not always the one the family uses at home.
Ask whether your board has uploaded its records. Boards send their data in their own time. A missing record can simply be a record that has not been uploaded yet. Your school can confirm where things stand.
Check that you are in a covered group. The scheme covers government and public school students: Grade 9 in Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, and Grades 9 and 10 in AJK, Islamabad and Gilgit-Baltistan. A record outside those groups will not appear.

What not to do when the search fails

Do not pay anyone who offers to "add" your record. Nobody outside your board can do that, and the scheme has no fee at any step. Do not keep submitting random number guesses either; sit with your school and get the exact details first. And do not upload your documents to any site other than the official portal — your B-Form and record details are private, and fake sites collect exactly that material.

A failed search is a pause, not an ending. Most students who work the steps above find the plain reason — a digit, a date, a board upload still pending — and sort it through their school. Once your record is found and checked, read what happens after you submit so you know the road ahead before you press the final button.
