The Punjab Higher Education Department has approved the recruitment of 8,084 College Teaching Interns (CTIs) to address faculty shortages in public sector colleges across the province.
The allocation includes 5% for minorities, 3% for persons with disabilities, and 0.5% for the transgender community.
For Intermediate classes, CTIs will serve for seven months, from October 1, 2025, to April 30, 2026. For BS programs, the engagement period will be ten months, from October 1, 2025, to July 31, 2026, or until permanent staff are appointed.
Applicants must hold at least a BS or Master’s degree with a minimum of second division in the relevant subject. Candidates with MPhil or PhD qualifications will be given preference. Academic records, higher qualifications, and board or university positions will contribute to the merit score. Interview performance will also carry weight.
There is no age limit for applicants. CTIs will be entitled to two casual leaves per month, while TA/DA will not be provided. Placements are temporary and may be terminated by the selection committee in case of unsatisfactory performance. Recruitment will be merit-based, and the use of forged or false documents will result in cancellation and legal action.
The initiative is intended to provide immediate teaching support in government colleges across Punjab during the 2025-26 academic session, ensuring continuity of academic activities until permanent staff are appointed.
