BREAKING: STI Jobs 2025 Deadline Extended to 24 Nov

Great news for everyone who has been refreshing the STI portal for the last 10 days!
The STI Jobs 2025 deadline extended to 24 November 2025 due to portal crash issues. You now have just 3 final days to apply online and secure your teaching internship in Punjab!
This decision came after more than 300,000 candidates faced non-stop portal crashes, challan errors, and slow loading.

Relief for Over 300,000 Applicants: Portal Issues Finally Addressed

Thousands of you stayed up all night, cleared cache a hundred times, and still couldn’t upload documents. You tagged ministers on X, made WhatsApp groups, and prayed the site would work.
Your voice was heard. SED Punjab listened and gave everyone a fair chance.

Full Text of Official Notification (21 November 2025)

Here is the exact summary released by the Punjab School Education Department today:

“Due to unprecedented traffic and technical difficulties faced by applicants on sti.pesrp.edu.pk, the competent authority has approved extension in the last date of submission of online applications for recruitment of School Teacher Interns (STI) 2025-26 up to 24-11-2025 (12:00 AM midnight).
