The Punjab Higher Education Department has officially approved the hiring of 8,084 College Teaching Interns (CTIs) to overcome the shortage of teachers in public sector colleges across the province.
To make the process inclusive, the government has reserved 5% of the seats for minorities, 3% for people with disabilities, and 0.5% for the transgender community.

Eligibility Criteria
Applicants must have at least a BS or Master’s degree in the relevant subject with a minimum second division. Those with higher qualifications such as MPhil or PhD will get preference. The selection will be based on academic record, higher qualifications, university or board positions, and performance during the interview.
Stipend Details
Selected candidates will be paid a monthly stipend directly in their bank accounts:
- Rs. 50,000 per month for teaching Intermediate classes.
- Rs. 60,000 per month for teaching BS/Graduate level classes.
Terms and Conditions
- There is no age limit for applicants.
- CTIs will be allowed two casual leaves per month.
- Travel allowance (TA/DA) will not be provided.
- The job is temporary and can be ended if the performance is not satisfactory.
- Any false or forged documents will lead to cancellation of the selection and may also result in legal action.
Purpose of Recruitment
This initiative has been taken to ensure that teaching activities in government colleges continue smoothly during the academic session of 2025–26. Since many colleges are facing a shortage of permanent faculty, these teaching interns will help fill the gap until regular staff are appointed.
By starting this recruitment, the Punjab government is also creating valuable opportunities for young graduates and postgraduates who wish to gain teaching experience while supporting the education system of the province.
