Punjab Announces New E-Transfer Round for School Teachers

On October 15, 2026, the Punjab School Education Department announced a new e-transfer round for promoted teachers, teachers awaiting postings, and staff in outsourced schools throughout the province. The online application window for this transfer round is set to open from October 15 to October 19, 2026. Eligible teachers are urged to submit their transfer preferences via the School Information System (SIS) portal during this period.

To facilitate the posting of eligible teachers against available vacant positions, the department has introduced this e-transfer round. The School Education Department has outlined a schedule for the new e-transfer round. The online application submission is scheduled for October 15-19, 2026. Following this, document verification will take place from October 20-22, 2026, with the resolution of raised concerns occurring from October 23-26, 2026.

Finally, the e-transfer orders are set to be issued on October 27, 2026. For teachers, the leadership has instructed all Chief Executive Officers of District Education Authorities (DEAs) to ensure that promoted teachers are correctly tagged in the SIS portal. According to the Punjab E-Transfer Policy 2024, promoted teachers who do not secure postings due to a lack of preferences or no preferences selected can be assigned to available vacancies by the department.

Similarly, teachers awaiting postings can be assigned to any available vacant post through the SIS portal if they fail to provide adequate preferences. To apply for the Punjab Teachers E-Transfer 2026, eligible educators must submit their transfer preferences through the official SIS portal during the application window. Applicants are advised to review available vacancies and select suitable posting preferences before making their requests.
