Punjab School Teaching Interns 2025: Check eligibility criteria inside. The Punjab Education Department has announced a policy to recruit School Teaching Interns (STIs) for a period of nine months each year.
A total of 12,500 STIs will be recruited across the Punjab province, but no STI will be assigned to evening schools or any administrative task.
The candidate must belong to that district and hold a master’s degree along with a professional teaching qualification. For primary school positions, a bachelor’s degree with a professional teaching qualification is required.
These interns will receive stipends starting from Rs38,000 and going up to Rs45,000 based on the grades they teach: primary schools will receive Rs38,000, middle schools will receive Rs40,000, and high/higher secondary schools will receive Rs45,000.
Appointments shall have the consent of the deputy DEOs, AEOs, heads of schools, and the school councils. Merit lists shall be displayed at deputy DEOs’ offices, posted on an online portal, and all updated on school notice boards. Candidates can apply within the district through a specified portal.
In addition, these interns will work in a temporary capacity and will not be eligible for internal transfer to other schools or for permanent positions. On successful completion, they will, however, be awarded certificates.
