CTI Portal Login 2026 is the one step no College Teaching Intern candidate can skip. Every stage — registration, profile, merit lists, placement and joining — runs through one website: cti-hep.punjab.gov.pk, run by the Higher Education Department (HED) Punjab. If you cannot get past the login page, you cannot see your merit, your interview list or your placement. This guide shows, in simple steps, how to register, log in, complete your profile, check your merit and status, and fix the most common errors. Enter your CNIC and password only on the official portal, never on a guide site.
If the page loads slowly on result days, try again early in the morning or late at night when traffic is lower.
How to Complete Your CTI Profile
Profile completion has the biggest impact on your merit, because 85 out of 100 marks come from your education.
Enter Matric, Intermediate, BS/Master’s and any MPhil/PhD records exactly as written on your DMCs.
Marks are now entered as percentages; the old slab system has been removed, so a typing mistake can change your merit.
Upload clear scans of each DMC and degree. Blurry images can be rejected during scrutiny.
If you served as a CTI last session, add your experience details. Prior CTI performance can carry up to 10 marks.
Review the preview page before final submission.
How to Check CTI Merit and Status
Once lists are published, log in and open the merit or application status section on your dashboard. You will see your merit score and, where available, your position for the college and subject you applied for. Lists are also displayed on college notice boards. If your marks were wrong, the written complaint window was 27–28 October — that window is now closed, so the final list on 29 October is the list to check.

Never share your password with any agent or website.
Conclusion
Keep your CNIC, password and registered mobile number safe, complete your profile carefully, and check the portal on key dates: 29 October for the final list, 30 October for placement, and 3 November for joining.
