STI Interview 2026 is happening today and tomorrow — 29 and 30 October 2026 — and the difference between a selected candidate and a missed chance is often preparation, not knowledge. This guide covers what to carry, how the day runs, how to handle the demo lesson, and what happens after the interview.
Before You Leave Home
Pack originals plus two sets of attested copies: CNIC, Matric and Intermediate certificates with DMCs, degree/transcripts, domicile, B.Ed/M.Ed if you have them, and experience certificates if any. Add four recent passport-size photographs and one printout of your STI online application or portal status. Keep originals in one folder and copies in another, in the same order, so you can hand them over quickly when the panel asks. Get copies attested before interview day — attestation on the morning of the interview is a risk you do not need.
Interview-Day Timing and Conduct
Reach the school at least 30 minutes before it opens. Schools are on winter timings, starting at 8:45 AM.
Check the interview schedule on the school notice board first. Many schools do not send separate call letters.
Wear simple, formal clothes. You are applying for a teaching post, so look like a teacher.
Switch off your phone before you enter the room.
Answer briefly and honestly. If you do not know something, say so instead of guessing — panels notice guessing faster than a gap in knowledge.
Demo Lesson: Prepare One Topic Well
Most panels ask for a short demo lesson in your subject. Do not prepare five topics half-well. Prepare one topic from the class level you applied for, with a clear start, one example on the board, and one question for the class. Speak slowly, face the class, and finish on time. In school-wise lists, top candidates are often separated by less than one mark, so a confident demo can decide the seat.
Interview marks are added to your academic merit. Check the final list on the school notice board and on the official STI portal: https://sti.pesrp.edu.pk
Conclusion
Pack tonight, prepare one demo lesson, and reach early. That is the whole interview strategy in three steps.
