    I have registered myself for laptop through youth Punjab website. I have also received a message of congratulations through SMS and call on my mobile no. But my name is not included in the registered list of students. I got 473/520 in Intermediate F.Sc Part 1 and was among first 20 students of Lahore board.
    Now i have received a message on my mobile from "03159900009" that if my name is not in registered list, then i have to complain on this email ID.
