Applications must reach the concerned Special Education Institution by hand or courier by 18 July 2026. Interviews are scheduled district-wise from 20–24 July 2026. Late or incomplete applications will not be entertained. Candidates should ensure their applications are dispatched with enough time to arrive before the deadline.

Q: What does STI (School Teaching Intern) mean in this recruitment?

STI stands for School Teaching Intern — a temporary engagement under which the Special Education Department hires qualified graduates to fill vacant teaching posts at government Special Education Institutions. These are not permanent positions; they are school-specific, non-transferable, and limited to a 9-month period (excluding summer vacations) for the current financial years, or until a regular permanent incumbent is appointed — whichever comes first.

Q: Is a Braille certificate mandatory for all Special Education Teacher positions?

The Braille Proficiency Certificate is a mandatory additional requirement only for Visually Impaired (V.I) teacher positions — both Junior (BPS-16) and Senior (BPS-17). It must be issued by the Directorate General (DG) of Special Education, Punjab. Candidates applying for H.I (Hearing Impaired), M.C (Mentally Challenged), or P.D (Physically Disabled) specializations do not need to submit a Braille certificate.

Q: What are the age limits and relaxations for these positions?

The general age limit is 21 to 28 years. Relaxations apply as follows: Male candidates may receive up to 5 additional years; female candidates may receive up to 8 additional years; and persons with disabilities may receive up to 15 additional years (subject to submission of a valid disability certificate). This makes the effective maximum age up to 36 years for females and 43 years for persons with disabilities.

Q: What is the difference between Junior and Senior Special Education Teacher grades?

The Junior Special Education Teacher (BPS-16) requires a 2nd Division or Grade C in the relevant MA or BS Special Education degree, with a monthly honorarium of Rs. 40,000. The Senior Special Education Teacher (BPS-17) requires a 1st Division or Grade B in the same qualification, with a higher honorarium of Rs. 45,000/month. Both grades require specialization in the relevant disability category (H.I, V.I, M.C, or P.D) from an HEC-recognized university.

Q: Can fresh graduates apply for Special Education Punjab STI positions?

Yes. The department explicitly states that fresh aspiring candidates with relevant qualifications are encouraged to apply. While teaching experience is noted as an advantage and may be given preference, it is not listed as a mandatory requirement. Graduates who have recently completed their MA or BS in Special Education with the relevant specialization are fully eligible to submit applications for these School Teaching Intern positions.

Q: What does H.I, V.I, M.C, and P.D mean in Special Education job advertisements?

H.I stands for Hearing Impairment — teachers specializing in educating students who are deaf or hard of hearing. V.I stands for Visual Impairment — covering teachers trained for blind or visually impaired students, including Braille instruction. M.C stands for Mentally Challenged — teachers trained to work with students with intellectual disabilities or learning impairments. P.D stands for Physically Disabled — teachers specialized in educating students with mobility, motor, or other physical disabilities. Each requires a specific specialization track within the MA or BS in Special Education degree.

Q: Where can I get a Braille Proficiency Certificate for V.I teacher positions?

The Braille Proficiency Certificate required for Visually Impaired (V.I) teaching positions must be obtained from the Directorate General of Special Education, Punjab. Candidates who have completed their BS or MA in Special Education with a V.I specialization may have acquired this during their degree program. Those who have not should contact the DG Special Education Punjab directly to inquire about the Braille proficiency certification process before applying.

Q: Does this STI engagement lead to a permanent government job?

No. The advertisement explicitly states that this engagement does not confer any right to regular or permanent government employment. STI positions are purely temporary, school-specific, and limited in duration (9 months excluding summer vacations). The engagement ends when the fixed period concludes or when a permanent regular incumbent is appointed to the post — whichever happens first. Candidates should consider this engagement as valuable professional experience in the special education sector rather than a pathway to permanent government service.
