About the Scheme

The Rajasthan Education Department has issued a new guideline for the Free Tablet Yojana, aimed at government-school students who score well in their board exams. Instead of directly handing out a tablet or laptop, the department will now issue an e-voucher, letting students buy a device of their own choice from the market. Around 30,300 meritorious students from classes 8, 10 and 12 are expected to benefit from this round.

The scheme is part of the state government's push to bring digital learning tools to talented students in government schools.

Eligibility Criteria

• The student must be a bona fide resident of Rajasthan.
• The student must be currently studying in a government school in the state.
• A minimum of 75% marks in the class 8, 10 or 12 board examination is required.
• Only students whose names appear in the Education Department's merit list are eligible.
• Selection is based on the RBSE (Rajasthan Board) merit list.

Key Benefits

• Buy a laptop or tablet of your choice, from any brand.
• Purchase the device directly from the open market.
• Direct financial assistance of up to ₹20,000 through the e-voucher.
• Free internet data for 3 years along with the device.
• Makes digital learning more accessible; study-related apps are reported to come pre-installed.

How Will the E-Voucher Be Issued?

The department has not yet released a detailed official guideline. Based on available information, the process is expected to work like this:

1. The list of selected students is sent to their respective schools.
2. The e-voucher is generated through the Shala Darpan portal.
3. The student shows the voucher to a retailer and buys a tablet or laptop of their choice.
