The Punjab School Education Department has announced School Teacher Intern (STI) positions in government schools. The monthly stipend is Rs. 38,000 to Rs. 45,000, depending on the school level, and the last date to apply is 18 October 2026 (11:59 pm). That is only a few days away, so read the points below and check your eligibility today.
One thing to understand first: this is an internship, not a permanent job. It runs from 3 November 2026 to 31 May 2027, and the advertisement says the positions will not be converted into regular appointments.
Please note: We are not the School Education Department. We summarised ProPakistani’s report (6 October 2026) and a second job listing that shows the same dates. We did not open the portal ourselves. The reports do not give the number of positions, the documents list or the merit formula, so read the full advertisement and the terms on the official STI portal before you apply. Never pay anyone to “arrange” an STI placement.

How to Apply
- Open the STI portal.
- New users register with their CNIC and a password.
- Complete your profile carefully: name, qualification, marks and subject exactly as on your degree.
- Apply for the placement that matches your qualification.
- Take a screenshot or save a copy of your submitted application.
The reports do not list documents. Keep these ready in case the portal asks: CNIC, degree and marksheets, B.Ed or M.Ed certificate if you have one, and a recent photo. Our checklist of documents required for government jobs can help you organise them.
Things to Check Before You Apply
- It is temporary. The ad says the posts will not become regular jobs. Think about whether a seven-month internship suits you.
- Match your level. Apply only for the level your degree allows. An application for the wrong level may be rejected.
- Use your own account. Keep your login details to yourself. Nobody from the department will ask for your password or an OTP on WhatsApp.
- Do not wait for 18 October. Government portals slow down on the last day.
How to Prepare for the Interview
This is our own suggestion, since the reports do not describe the interview.
- Be ready to explain why you want to teach and how you would manage a class.
- Revise the main topics of your subject and think of two simple examples you could use to teach them.
- Have a short, honest answer about your qualification, any teaching experience and tuition work.
- Practise with our list of common interview questions and answers, and use the CV guide if you need a clean one-page CV.
Beware of Fake Offers
- The only place to apply is the official portal. Do not use links forwarded on WhatsApp or Facebook.
- Nobody can “guarantee” a placement for money.
- Do not share your CNIC photo or OTP with someone who says they can “fix” your application.
