SIS Punjab vacant seats and transfer status are what Punjab teachers check most every transfer season. They ask two questions: where are the vacant seats, and how do I check my transfer status by CNIC? Both answers live on the School Information System (SIS) of the School Education Department. We went through the public SIS dashboard on 28 October 2026 and explain below exactly where the vacant seat (district quota) data sits, what the latest e-transfer numbers show, and how to track your own application.
Latest: The last e-transfer submission window ran from 15 to 19 October 2026. SIS currently shows that e-transfer applications are not being accepted. Orders for this round were scheduled for 27 October 2026. The separate hardship round ends with final orders on 29–30 November 2026.
Key Takeaways
- SIS Punjab vacant seats are shown live under E-Transfer → district quota, not in a PDF.
- The October 2026 round received 4,938 applications and approved 4,002.
- Your own transfer status by CNIC is visible only after logging in to SIS.

Where Are SIS Punjab Vacant Seats Shown?
There is no single “SIS Punjab vacant seats 2026 PDF” issued by the department. Vacant positions are shown live on the SIS public dashboard at sis.pesrp.edu.pk, under the E-Transfer section’s district quota view. There you can:
- Open sis.pesrp.edu.pk and click the E-Transfer tab.
- Open the district quota view and select your district.
- Choose the post category (for example EST/SESE English, SSE Maths or SST/SSE Science) or keep “All Posts”.
- Click Apply to see the quota of vacant posts for that district.
SIS notes two important points on this page: for across-district transfers, only the vacancy shown under the “Transfer” heading is considered, and all quota figures are “subject to the review and approval of the concerned authorities”. In other words, a vacancy on the dashboard is not a guarantee of a posting.
Post categories you can filter
- EST/SESE (Arabic)
- EST (General Arts), EST/SESE (English), EST/SESE (Urdu), SESE (Arts), EST/SESE (Oriental), EST (Vernacular)
- EST/SESE (Maths), EST/SESE (Science), SESE (Science/Maths)
- SST/SSE (Arts), SSE (English), SSE (Urdu)
- SSE (Maths), SSE (Physics/Maths), SST/SSE (Science)
If you want a vacancy PDF for your records, use your browser’s “Print → Save as PDF” option on the filtered SIS page. That gives you a dated copy of the official data rather than a forwarded file of unknown origin.
Latest E-Transfer Numbers on SIS (October 2026 Round)
The E-Transfer summary on SIS shows how applications in the latest round were processed. Figures as displayed on 28 October 2026:
| Application type | Submitted | Approved | Rejected | Not selected |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open merit (regular) | 3,834 | 3,026 | 624 | 184 |
| Promotion | 1,070 | 954 | 22 | 94 |
| Awaiting posting | 34 | 22 | 8 | 4 |
| Total | 4,938 | 4,002 | 654 | 282 |
Of the submitted applications, 2,575 came from male and 2,363 from female teachers. SIS also tracks “actualization”, meaning whether approved teachers have actually joined: at the time of checking, 1,993 had been actualized, 171 were in progress and 1,844 were still pending. These numbers change daily, so check the dashboard for the current position.
How to Check SIS Punjab Transfer Status by CNIC
The public dashboard does not have a CNIC search box. It filters individual applications by district, tehsil, markaz, school and EMIS code only. To see your own status by CNIC, you need to log in:
- Go to sis.pesrp.edu.pk and click Login.
- Enter the CNIC and password linked to your SIS teacher profile.
- Open the E-Transfer section and select your application.
- Check the status: submitted, verified, approved, rejected or not selected.
- If an order has been generated, download it and report to the new school as directed.
If SIS says your record is missing or incorrect, your school head or the AEO must correct it in SIS first, because the e-transfer system only considers teachers whose data is up to date. For login problems, see how to log in with SIS credentials.

Are SIS Punjab Vacant Seats the Same as STI Seats?
Not exactly. SIS district quota shows posts available for regular teachers through e-transfer. STI (School Teacher Intern) seats are temporary internship slots allocated district-wise by the department. A school with teacher shortages on SIS is more likely to have an STI seat, which is why our STI school list Punjab guide uses SIS data to help candidates shortlist schools.
In short, check SIS Punjab vacant seats on the live dashboard before every e-transfer round, save a dated copy, and keep your SIS profile correct. Teachers who track SIS Punjab vacant seats early usually add better preferences and are less likely to be “not selected”.
