STI interviews take place on 29 and 30 October 2026 at the school where you applied. Candidates are often turned away or lose marks for small reasons: a missing original degree, no photocopies, or arriving after the panel has started. Use this STI interview documents checklist the night before, so you walk in with everything ready.
Interview days: 29–30 Oct 2026 at the concerned school · Bring originals + 2 sets of attested copies · Be ready for a short demo lesson · Final merit list: 31 Oct, 10 AM.

On the Day: Timing and Conduct
- Reach the school at least 30 minutes before the school opens. Schools follow winter timings, starting at 8:45 AM.
- Check the interview schedule on the school notice board. Many schools do not send separate call letters. See STI interview call letter if you have not received one.
- Wear simple, formal clothes. Teaching is the post, so look like a teacher.
- Switch off your phone before you enter the room.
- Answer briefly and honestly. If you do not know something, say so instead of guessing.

Demo Lesson: Be Ready in 3 Minutes
Most panels ask for a short demo lesson in your subject. Prepare one topic from the class level you applied for, with a clear start, one example on the board and one question for the class. Our STI demo lesson guide gives subject-wise topics, and the STI interview questions page lists common questions with sample answers.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Bringing only photocopies and leaving originals at home.
- Name or date of birth different on documents and the online form, without an explanation.
- Going to the wrong school. Go to the school you selected in your application.
- Arriving late and missing your turn.
