How to Check the STI Merit List
You can follow your result in three places:
- School notice board: The initial list is pasted at each school that advertised seats. Visit the school you applied to.
- Tehsil education office: Tehsil-level committees handle objections and complaints.
- Official STI portal: The final list and agreement letters appear on sti.pesrp.edu.pk.
Tip: Photograph the full list, with the school name and date visible. You will need it if you file an objection.
District-Wise Guide: Where Lists Are Displayed
The process is the same in every district. Check the school where you applied, and file objections with your tehsil committee. The table below lists Punjab’s districts by division so you can find your area quickly.

How STI Merit Is Calculated
Candidates are scored out of 100, with most of the weight on academic record.
| Component | Marks |
|---|---|
| Graduation or highest degree | 55 |
| Intermediate (HSSC) | 15 |
| Matric (SSC) | 15 |
| Professional qualification (B.Ed, M.Ed or ADE) | 10 |
| Interview | 5 |
| Total | 100 |
Graduation carries 55 marks, so small differences in degree marks can change your rank. Compare your entry on the list with your own transcripts.

Additional Details from the Official Website
According to the official notice and portal at the time of checking, applications closed on 18 October 2026 at 11:59 PM. The merit list is displayed on the notice board of the concerned school on 23 October 2026. The final list is displayed at 10:00 AM on the school notice board and the portal.

What the Notice Does Not Mention
The notice does not give district-wise seat numbers, merit cut-offs or district-specific schedules. The age limit and eligibility rules are not on the pages we could open. Some news sites report an age range of 21 to 45 and a rule limiting applicants to their own tehsil, but we could not confirm this officially. Please check the STI policy on the portal.
The objection and interview dates, the merit mark breakdown and the level-wise stipend are given as announced in the department schedule. They were not visible on the portal home page, so verify them with your tehsil office.
