Finding the right school is an important step for candidates applying for STI Jobs 2026 in Punjab. Applicants can check the STI School List Punjab to find schools with available internship seats in their district. The list helps candidates identify schools offering STI vacancies, along with relevant details such as school name, location, and available seats. Before applying, candidates should carefully check the district-wise school list, confirm their eligibility, and select a suitable school according to the official application process. Checking the STI Jobs 2026 School List in advance can help applicants make a better choice and complete their application without unnecessary delays.

On 25 September 2026, the School Education Department allowed fresh hiring against vacant STI seats under a district-wise allocation. Because every STI seat belongs to a specific school, knowing which schools need teachers is the smartest way to prepare.
This guide explains what the STI school list is, what has and has not been published, how you can find schools with vacant teaching posts yourself using the official SIS dashboard, and how to choose the right school.
- The official STI school list 2026 has not been published yet.
- Seats will be filled school-wise under a district-wise allocation.

The official STI school list for 2026 has not been published yet. This tool helps you prepare using public SIS data.STI School List 2026: Current Status
As of 30 September 2026, the School Education Department has approved fresh STI hiring, but it has not released a province-wide school list, a seat list or an application schedule. The notification says hiring will follow the STI Program 2024 and the district-wise allocation attached to it. That allocation has not been shared publicly.
So any “STI school list 2026 PDF” with fixed seat numbers for each district that you see on social media right now is not official. Some older websites even show made-up totals such as hundreds of seats per district. Please do not rely on them.
What the STI School List Contains
In the STI programme, interns are placed in a particular school, not in a general pool. That is why the school list matters so much. When a district publishes its list, it usually tells you:
- The school name and its EMIS code
- The tehsil and markaz where the school is located
- The school level: primary, middle (elementary), high or higher secondary
- The subject or post that is vacant
- The number of STI seats in that school
STI interns are placed in primary, elementary, high and higher secondary schools. The stipend depends on the level of the school where you are placed.
| School level | Typical posts covered | Monthly stipend (STI Program 2024) |
|---|---|---|
| Primary | PST / ESE | Rs38,000 |
| Middle (Elementary) | EST / SESE | Rs40,000 |
| High and Higher Secondary | SST / SSE | Rs45,000 |
Punjab Government Schools in Numbers
The official School Information System (SIS) of the School Education Department shows the size of the school network where STI seats come from. According to SIS data updated on 30 September 2026:
| School level | Number of schools |
|---|---|
| Primary / Mosque Maktab | 21,572 |
| Middle | 7,353 |
| High | 8,274 |
| Higher Secondary | 950 |
| Total | 38,149 |
SIS also shows 306,203 teachers across Punjab, including 159,487 PST/ESE, 98,672 EST/SESE and 41,921 SST/SSE teachers, and more than 10.5 million enrolled students. Where the number of students is high and teachers are short, STI seats are more likely.
How to Find Schools With Vacant Posts on SIS
You do not have to wait for a PDF to start planning. The SIS public dashboard at sis.pesrp.edu.pk lets anyone filter data by district, tehsil, markaz and school. Here is how to use it:
- Open sis.pesrp.edu.pk or use the School Finder above.
- Select your district, then your tehsil and markaz.
- Pick a school near you and click Apply.
- Open the Teachers & Staff and Sanctioned Posts tabs.
- Compare sanctioned posts with teachers in place. A gap shows a teacher shortage.
- Note 5 to 10 schools that match your subject and level.
This does not guarantee an STI seat, because the department decides the final allocation. But it shows you which schools are short of teachers, which is exactly where STI seats have gone in earlier cycles.
How the School List Worked in the Last Cycle
In the previous round, applications were made within the district through the online portal. Reports on the programme said selection needed the consent of Deputy DEOs, AEOs, school heads and school councils. Then, in December 2025:
| Date | Stage |
|---|---|
| 3 December 2025 | Initial merit lists shown on school notice boards |
| 4 to 5 December 2025 | Objections heard at tehsil level |
| 6 to 7 December 2025 | Interviews of shortlisted candidates |
| 8 December 2025 | Final merit list on notice boards and the portal |
| 9 December 2025 | Appointment orders planned (later put on hold for objections) |
Because the first list appeared at school level, candidates who stayed in touch with their chosen schools were the first to know.
How to Choose the Right School
- Distance: the stipend is linked to attendance, so pick a school you can reach every day.
- Subject match: choose schools that are short of teachers in your subject.
- Level: high and higher secondary seats pay more but need a 16-year relevant degree.
- Competition: city schools attract more applicants; nearby rural schools may be easier.
- Talk to the head teacher: ask about class sizes, timings and vacant posts.
Check whether you qualify using our STI eligibility checker and prepare papers with the STI documents checklist.
What to Do After You Shortlist Schools
- Visit each school once and introduce yourself to the head teacher politely.
- Ask which subjects are short and whether the school expects STI seats.
- Keep attested copies of your CNIC, domicile and degrees ready.
- Save the school names and EMIS codes, as you may need them in the online form.
- Check the school notice board regularly once hiring starts, because the first merit list appears there.
Doing this early means you can apply on the first day and follow up quickly during the short objection window.
