STI Final Merit List 2026: Check School Teacher Intern Selection, Stipend and Joining Date

The School Education Department Punjab has displayed the STI Final Merit List 2026 for School Teacher Interns (STI) in government schools. The final list was displayed on Saturday, 31 October 2026, at 10:00 AM on school notice boards and on the official STI portal. Candidates can now check their selection, and those on the list must download the agreement letter and join their allotted school on time.

What Is the STI Final Merit List 2026?

The STI Final Merit List 2026 is the last selection list for the School Teacher Internship programme of the School Education Department, Government of Punjab. It fills temporary teaching posts in primary, elementary, high and higher secondary government schools. Each school displays its own list, prepared school-wise and subject-wise. There is no single Punjab-wide PDF, so candidates must check every school where they applied.

Selection followed the schedule in advertisement IPL-10494. Applications closed on 18 October 2026, the initial list appeared on 23 October, objections were accepted on 26 and 27 October, and interviews and demo lessons were held on 29 and 30 October. The internship runs from 3 November 2026 to 31 May 2027 and does not lead to a permanent appointment.

Every stage followed the dates in the official advertisement. The table below shows the full schedule.

How to Check the STI Final Merit List 2026

Candidates can check their selection on the official STI portal or at the school where they applied:

1. Visit the official STI portal: Open sti.pesrp.edu.pk.
2. Log in: Use the same CNIC and password you used to apply.
3. Open your application status: View your school and subject details.
4. Check your selection: Confirm your name, school, subject and merit position.
5. Visit the school notice board: Check the list at the school where you applied.

Candidates who applied to more than one school should check every school’s list, because a merit position can differ from one school to another. Checking the list is free; use only the official portal, because fake websites may share false lists.

Agreement Letters and Joining Date

Selected candidates receive their agreement letters through the STI portal. Under the announced schedule, letters were issued on 2 November 2026, and selected interns were due to report to their allotted schools on 3 November 2026. Anyone who has not yet reported should contact the allotted school or the district education office at once.

Selected candidates should keep these documents ready:

• Original CNIC: Original CNIC and photocopies.
• Educational certificates: Original degrees and certificates.
• Domicile certificate: Domicile of the concerned district.
• Photographs: Recent passport-size photographs, if required.
• Application record: Application details and the signed agreement letter.

The department also told heads of institutions to finish the remaining portal work by 3 November 2026, and said no appointment orders would be issued until further instructions. Selected candidates should confirm their reporting instructions with their allotted school before travelling.

What If Your Name Is Not on the Final List?

Candidates who do not find their names should check all the schools where they applied and verify their CNIC and qualification details on the portal. If a merit error is suspected, the district education office can guide the candidate. There is no separate province-wide second merit list: each school’s merit order works as its waiting list, so if a selected candidate does not join, the seat can pass to the next eligible candidate on the same school’s list.

Important Points to Remember

• Temporary engagement: Fixed-term internship, 3 November 2026 to 31 May 2027; it does not become a permanent teaching post.
• Stipend depends on attendance: The monthly stipend is paid by school level after attendance verification.
• No fee: Checking the list, downloading the agreement letter and joining are free.
• Only the official portal: Use sti.pesrp.edu.pk for STI updates; ignore lists shared on WhatsApp or Facebook.
• Check every school: A candidate’s position can differ between schools, so check all applied schools.

Conclusion

The STI Final Merit List 2026 closes the Punjab School Teacher Internship selection: final lists were displayed on 31 October and joining began on 3 November. Selected candidates should download their agreement letters from the official portal and report to their schools without delay. Others should keep watching their schools’ lists for vacant seats. The Rs 38,000 to Rs 45,000 monthly stipend makes it a valuable opportunity for the seven-month term ending 31 May 2027.
