Shala Darpan Internship 2026: Login, Dates and Allotment
Many teacher trainees feel worried when the Shala Darpan Internship portal does not show their name, login details, school choice, or allotment. Deadlines also change by course, year, session, and round. One small mistake can delay the whole process.
In my experience reviewing education portals, most problems begin with the wrong admission session, incomplete college registration, or missed choice submission. I always advise students to verify each detail early and save proof after every important step.
This guide uses verified portal information and simple steps. It explains registration, candidate login, vacancies, school preferences, allotment, joining, errors, and certificates. I aim to help every trainee act with confidence and avoid common delays during the busy internship application and allotment period.
1. Current Status: The “Last Chance” Window
The Integrated Shala Darpan portal publishes separate dates for each course, year, round, and academic session. One deadline does not apply to every teacher trainee.
| Course or activity | Session | Current action | Important date |
| B.Ed. second year and listed integrated courses | 2026–27 | Special window for eligible unallotted trainees | 14–17 August 2026 |
| B.Ed. first year, Round 2 | Check portal record | Candidate registration | 11 August–15 September 2026 |
| B.Ed. first year, Round 4 | Check portal record | Candidate registration | 11 August–15 September 2026 |
Last verified: 17 August 2026.
The 14–17 August window applies to certain trainees who did not receive a school during the first phase. It covers the courses and years listed in the official notice. Students must check the official Shala Darpan Internship portal before taking action.
A calendar year and an academic session are different. A notice published in 2026 may cover the 2025–26 or 2026–27 session. Always select your actual admission session.
