TEVTA Free Courses Punjab 2026: Free Technical Training, Admission & Institutes

What is the CM E-Bike Scheme?

The Chief Minister’s E-Bike Scheme is a Government of Punjab initiative, delivered through the Transport & Mass Transit Department in partnership with the Bank of Punjab (financing) and the Punjab Information Technology Board (computerized balloting). It helps eligible Punjab students get an electric motorcycle or scooty on an interest-free installment plan, rather than students paying market price upfront.

Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz chaired a review meeting on 2 September 2026 and announced a significantly larger and more generous phase: over 125,000 e-bikes, with students paying zero down payment and roughly Rs. 3,000 a month, while the province covers the interest and insurance. Applications opened online on 4 September 2026.

Earlier phases of this scheme (2025 and early 2026) required an upfront down payment, so if you saw older information describing a required down payment, that’s now outdated for the new application window students applying now should confirm current terms directly on the portal, since final published guidelines can add detail the initial announcement didn’t cover.

Total E-Bikes

How to get admission

Find your nearest TEVTA institute — visit in person or check the official TEVTA Punjab channels for the admission schedule.
Admissions open in batches — there are announced intakes, not rolling admissions. Missing an intake means waiting for the next.
Apply with CNIC/B-Form, educational certificates, and photographs.
Some popular courses have entry tests or interviews — prepare accordingly.

Pick the right course (honest advice)

Follow local demand, not trends: an electrician in a growing housing society earns more than a graphic designer with no clients.
Gulf angle: welding, HVAC, and electrician certificates are valued in Gulf hiring — if overseas work is your goal, pick accordingly.
Finish it: half-done courses earn nothing. TEVTA certificates only matter if you complete and can demonstrate the skill.

Stay safe

TEVTA admissions are free or carry only nominal official fees. “Agents” selling guaranteed admission to popular courses are scamming you — merit/test-based selection can’t be bought.
