Is There a Reserved Quota for Female Students?
Yes. The Punjab Government has introduced a gender-based quota to ensure fair participation of both male and female students in the CM Punjab Student E-Bike Scheme.
According to the official application process, the PITB computerized electronic balloting is conducted using predefined quotas, including:
- Gender quota
- Urban and rural quota
- Disability quota
- Minority quota
For the current scheme, the government has confirmed a gender-based reservation for female applicants during the computerized balloting process, but no official fixed quota figure has been published. What is confirmed is the participation figure: 314,445 female applicants out of 607,399 completed applications. This reservation is intended to increase access to affordable transport for female students.
How Many E-Bikes Can Girls Receive?
The Punjab Government has announced the distribution of 100,000 electric bikes for eligible students across Punjab within one year.
While the government has confirmed a gender-based reservation, it has not officially published a fixed numerical allocation exclusively for girls out of the 100,000 bikes. Instead, eligible female applicants compete within the reserved female quota during the PITB electronic balloting process.
This means:
- Total planned distribution: 100,000 electric bikes
- Female applicants participate through the reserved gender quota.
- Final allocations depend on the number of eligible applications and the computerized balloting results.
