Due to technical issues with the online application portal for the School Teacher Intern (STI) Jobs 2025 in Punjab, the School Education Department (SED) Punjab has announced a date extension for candidates applying online. Many applicants faced difficulties accessing the portal due to frequent crashes. To accommodate these challenges, the SED has extended the deadline for applications.

Reasons for the Date Extension
The School Education Department Punjab had initially set a deadline of January 25, 2025, for online applications. However, the STI portal faced significant technical difficulties, causing it to crash frequently, preventing many candidates from submitting their applications. As of January 24, 2025, over 25,000 applicants had created profiles on the portal, but many were unable to complete their applications due to the portal’s unstable performance. As a result, the deadline has been extended to ensure that all candidates have an equal opportunity to apply.
