Punjab CTI Jobs 2026 – College Teaching Interns, Eligibility, Stipend & How to Apply (cti-hep.punjab.gov.pk)

Punjab CTI Jobs 2026 are back in the spotlight: the Higher Education Department (HED), Government of Punjab, reopened its official CTI portal on Thursday, October 22, 2026, from 12:00 PM to midnight for applications to fill adjusted vacancies for the 2026–27 session. This guide covers the College Teaching Interns induction — eligibility, the Rs. 50,000 monthly stipend, the 100-mark merit formula, important dates, and how to apply at cti-hep.punjab.gov.pk.

The CTI scheme is one of Punjab’s largest teaching opportunities: interns are hired on a temporary, session-based arrangement so classes at government colleges continue without interruption. Seats open up across all 36 districts, and the whole process — from profile creation to merit calculation — runs through a single centralized digital portal.

About the Higher Education Department (HED) Punjab

The Higher Education Department is the Government of Punjab’s administrative department for colleges and higher education, running hundreds of government associate, graduate and BS-level colleges. Each session, vacant teaching posts are covered through the CTI program — a stop-gap engagement for one academic session (or until regular faculty arrives) so intermediate and undergraduate classes continue without interruption.

For 2026–27, the whole induction runs on the centralized portal at cti-hep.punjab.gov.pk, replacing the old system of queuing at individual colleges. Candidates register once, build a verified academic profile, and compete on a transparent 100-mark merit aggregate; subject-wise vacant seats for Phase 2 are published on the portal and on college notice boards.

Vacant Positions

CTI inductions are organized subject-wise and college-wise rather than under one consolidated vacancy count.

Eligibility Criteria

The CTI Induction Policy 2026–27 sets straightforward conditions — confirm your case against the official policy on the portal before applying.

Educational Qualification

For BS-level colleges, applicants must hold an MS, MPhil or PhD in the relevant subject. For general and community colleges, a Master’s degree or BS (4-year program) in the relevant subject with at least a second division is required. Higher degrees earn extra marks in the merit formula, which favors well-qualified applicants.

Experience Required

No prior teaching experience is required — the scheme suits fresh graduates as well as experienced teachers. Candidates who served as CTIs in 2025–26 can earn marks for prior performance under the non-academic part of the merit aggregate.

Age Limit

Published guides report varying information on the age condition, so the official CTI Induction Policy 2026–27 on cti-hep.punjab.gov.pk is the final authority. The scheme welcomes both fresh graduates and experienced individuals.

Gender

Male, female, disabled and transgender candidates are all encouraged to apply, with inclusive quotas — 5% for minorities, 3% for disabled persons and 0.5% for the transgender community. Women are strongly represented among CTIs every session.

Salary and Benefits

Selected College Teaching Interns receive a fixed monthly stipend of Rs. 50,000, paid directly into the intern’s bank account. The engagement lasts about seven months for intermediate-level colleges and about ten months for BS-level colleges, or until regular faculty is appointed. It is temporary and does not lead to automatic permanent appointment, but the teaching experience strengthens future applications for PPSC lecturer and educator posts.

How to Apply for Punjab CTI Jobs 2026

The induction runs in two operational phases. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Open the official CTI portal: Visit cti-hep.punjab.gov.pk — this is the only official channel. Avoid lookalike websites.
2. Sign up with your CNIC: New applicants create an account using a valid CNIC; returning applicants should log in and update their old profile instead of creating a duplicate.
3. Complete Phase 1 of your profile: Enter personal details and academic marks from Matriculation through Master’s/BS, exactly as shown on your documents, and upload digital copies of your detailed marks certificates (DMCs). No college seats are selected in Phase 1.
4. Watch for Phase 2 seat announcements: Subject-wise vacant seats across all 36 Punjab districts will be published on the portal and on college notice boards.
5. Apply to your target colleges: Once Phase 2 opens, submit hard copies of your application form and attested testimonials directly to the college(s) of your choice and appear in the interview.
6. Track the merit lists: Lists are prepared on the 100-mark aggregate formula. Keep your mobile number active — the department communicates through the portal, SMS and email.

If you missed the October 22 reopening window, keep your portal profile complete and updated — further phases of the 2026–27 induction are announced on the same portal.

Required Documents Checklist

• Valid CNIC (used for portal registration)
• Detailed marks certificates (DMCs) and degree certificates — Matric through Master’s/BS, and MPhil/PhD where applicable
• Domicile certificate (Punjab)
• Recent passport-size photographs (as per portal requirements)
• HEC equivalence certificate, if claiming a foreign or equivalent qualification
• Disability / minority / transgender quota documents, if applying under a special quota
• Prior CTI experience documentation, if claiming performance marks for the 2025–26 session

Selection Procedure

Selection is purely merit-based. The portal computes each candidate’s 100-mark aggregate: up to 85 marks for academics (Matric 15, Intermediate 15, 16-year degree 50, 18-year or higher qualification 5), plus non-academic factors including prior CTI performance and the interview. Colleges then prepare merit lists, shortlisted candidates are interviewed, and final placement follows against the subject-wise vacant seats. The HED conducts no separate written test for CTI induction.

Why Consider a Career as a College Teaching Intern

A CTI placement is one of the fastest routes into a real classroom in Punjab: actual college classes, a teaching portfolio, and a fixed monthly stipend — without the long wait of commission exams. For MPhil and PhD scholars it keeps academic momentum going; for fresh Master’s graduates it is often the first CV line that later wins interviews for School Teacher Intern positions and PPSC lecturer posts.
