The Punjab School Education Department has announced a new e-transfer round for eligible teachers across the province. The process covers promoted teachers, educators awaiting postings, and teachers working in outsourced schools.
According to an official notification issued on October 15, 2026, applications will be accepted online. Eligible teachers can submit their transfer requests through the School Information System (SIS) portal from October 15 to October 19.
The department has introduced this round to help place eligible teachers against available vacant positions. Applicants must submit their preferences within the announced deadline.

The Punjab School Education Department has released a schedule covering applications, document checks, complaints, and transfer orders.
The key dates for the e-transfer process are listed below:

| Online application submission | October 15–19, 2026 |
| Document verification | October 20–22, 2026 |

Teachers should follow these dates to complete the process. They should also ensure that their applications contain accurate information and appropriate posting preferences.
Instructions for Promoted Teachers
The department has directed Chief Executive Officers of District Education Authorities to update teacher records. They must ensure that promoted teachers are correctly tagged in the SIS portal.
Under the Punjab E-Transfer Policy 2024, promoted teachers may face departmental placement if they fail to secure postings. This can happen when teachers provide insufficient preferences or do not select available vacancies.
In such cases, the department can assign them to suitable available positions through the established process.
The same provision applies to teachers who are waiting for postings. If they fail to provide sufficient preferences, the appointing authority or School Education Department can assign them to vacant posts through the SIS portal.
These provisions allow the department to fill available positions when teachers do not secure placements through their selected preferences.

Eligible teachers must access the official School Information System portal during the application period. They should review the available vacancies before selecting their preferred posting locations.

The department will verify applications and supporting documents from October 20 to October 22. Any concerns raised during the process will be addressed between October 23 and October 26.
The final stage will involve issuing e-transfer orders on October 27, 2026.
