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.
Documents Checklist
| Document | Original | Copies |
|---|---|---|
| CNIC | Yes | 2 |
| Matric certificate and DMC | Yes | 2 |
| Intermediate certificate and DMC | Yes | 2 |
| Graduation / BS / Master degree and transcripts or DMCs | Yes | 2 |
| Domicile certificate | Yes | 2 |

| Experience certificate (if any) | Yes | 2 |
| Recent passport-size photographs | — | 4 |
| Printout of your STI online application / portal status | — | 1 |
Get the copies attested before the interview day. Keep all originals in one folder in the same order as the list above, so you can hand them over quickly when the panel asks.

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.

After the Interview
Interview marks are added to your academic merit. The final merit list will be displayed on 31 October 2026 at 10:00 AM on the school notice board and on sti.pesrp.edu.pk. Check it on our STI final merit list 2026 page or find your district on the STI merit list 2026 district wise page.
