Is There an STI Interview Call Letter 2026?
The STI 2026-27 schedule announced by the School Education Department lists the interviews of shortlisted candidates on 29–30 October at the concerned schools, but it does not describe a printed or emailed call letter. Like the initial merit list, which was displayed on school notice boards on 23 October, the interview information is shared locally. That means:
- Your name on the interview or shortlist display at the school is your call to attend.
- The head teacher or school committee may share the exact time by phone or on the notice board.
- The STI portal is mainly used for applications, the final merit list and agreement letters, not for interview call letters.
So do not sit at home waiting for an STI interview call letter 2026. If you were on the initial list and within the shortlist range for your seat, plan to attend. For the full list-checking steps, see our STI interview list 2026 guide.
How Shortlisted Candidates Are Informed
Each school with an advertised seat forms its own committee, so the method can differ slightly between tehsils. In most places, shortlisted candidates find out in one or more of these ways:
| Method | What to do |
|---|---|
| School notice board | Visit the school where you applied and read the shortlist / interview notice |
| Phone call or message from the head teacher | Keep your registered phone on and answer unknown numbers on 27–29 Oct |
| Tehsil / district education office notice | Check the AEO or DEO office notice board if the school has not displayed anything |
| STI portal dashboard | Log in at sti.pesrp.edu.pk to confirm your application status and school choices |
Because timing can be shared at short notice, many candidates simply visit the school on 28 October to confirm the time and venue. This is the safest approach.
Free STI Interview Call Checker
Answer four quick questions. The checker tells you whether you should expect to be interviewed and what to do next. It also shows a live countdown to the interview window.
No STI Interview Call Letter 2026? What to Do
Not receiving an STI interview call letter 2026 or a phone call does not always mean you are not shortlisted. Follow these steps in order:
- Check your application: Log in at the official STI portal and confirm that your application was submitted before 18 October and shows the schools you applied to.
- Visit the school: Go to each school you applied to and read the notice board. Ask the head teacher politely whether you are on the interview list.
- Compare with seats: If the school has one seat and you are far down the initial list, you may not be shortlisted for that seat.
- Ask the tehsil office: If the school cannot help, contact the AEO or tehsil education office.
- Call the helpline: STI helpline 042-111-11-2020, with your CNIC ready.
If your name was missing from the initial list itself, the objection window was 26–27 October before the tehsil committee. Read our STI objection 2026 guide to see what still applies.
What to Bring on Interview Day
Even without an STI interview call letter 2026, the committee will verify you through your CNIC and documents. Carry originals and photocopies of:
- CNIC and Punjab domicile
- Matric, Intermediate and degree DMCs and certificates
- B.Ed / M.Ed / ADE certificate if you claimed it
- Printout or screenshot of your STI portal application
- Recent passport-size photographs
- A pen, and a short demo topic ready in your mind

STI Interview Day Timeline
