The selection process for admission as fixed-term civil service personnel in the professional groups M1 and E2 of the General State Administration (AGE) takes a decisive step: the Under-Secretariat of the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Civil Service has published the provisional lists of admitted and excluded candidates, and has set the date, time and location of the single exam of the opposition phase. The regulatory reference is the Resolution of October 6, 2026 (BOE-A-2026-20999), published on October 9, 2026.
This process is governed by the IV Collective Agreement for AGE civil service personnel and was originally called by the Resolution of July 7, 2026. It affects both the open access and internal promotion routes.
What does this regulation establish?
The Resolution approves the provisional lists — not final — of admitted and excluded persons in the selection process. This means it is still possible to correct errors or provide missing documentation before the lists are consolidated as final.
The affected groups and their specialties are:
| Professional group | Included specialties | Access system |
|---|---|---|
| M1 | Graphic Arts; Telecommunications and IT Systems | Open access and internal promotion |
| E2 | Telecommunications Installations; Agricultural, Forestry and Natural Environment | Open access and internal promotion |
The single exam of the opposition phase will be held in different shifts according to group and specialty, all at the same venue: INAP, Calle Atocha 106, Madrid, on January 23, 2027.
Applicants must present themselves with:
- Valid ID or passport
- Black or blue ink pen
- No electronic devices, except prior authorization for disability reasons
The most frequent causes of exclusion detected in the provisional lists are:
- Inadequate or incorrectly accredited qualifications
- Lack of documentation on job demand
- Lack of documentation relating to income tax (IRPF)
Operational impact and critical deadlines
For excluded applicants, the remediation deadline is the most urgent factor. They have 10 business days counted from October 9, 2026 (date of publication in the BOE) to submit the corresponding documentation or correction. After that deadline without action, the exclusion becomes final and the applicant loses the opportunity to participate in the exam on January 23, 2027.
For admitted applicants, the operational impact is one of planning: the exam is single (there is no second exam call in this phase), so preparation and logistics for travel to Madrid must be finalized in advance. The shifts vary according to group and specialty, so it is essential to consult the specific schedule assigned in the resolution.
Who does it affect?
- Applicants who submitted an application for group M1 (specialties: Graphic Arts; Telecommunications and IT Systems) through open access or internal promotion
- Applicants who submitted an application for group E2 (specialties: Telecommunications Installations; Agricultural, Forestry and Natural Environment) through open access or internal promotion
- Active AGE civil service personnel competing through the internal promotion route in any of the above groups and specialties
- HR departments of AGE organizations that manage employee participation in internal promotion processes
Practical example
An applicant who submitted an application for the specialty of Telecommunications and IT Systems (group M1) through open access receives notification that they appear as excluded for "unaccredited qualifications". They have until the end of the 10 business day deadline from October 9, 2026 to provide the corresponding degree or supplementary certificate to the calling body. If they remedy it within the deadline, they move to the final list of admitted candidates and will be able to take the single exam on January 23, 2027 at INAP (Calle Atocha 106, Madrid), in the shift assigned to their group and specialty, with ID and black or blue ink pen. If they do not remedy it, they are permanently excluded from the process.
What should applicants do now?
- Check the provisional lists in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-20999, published on October 9, 2026) to verify if you appear as admitted or excluded.
- If you appear as excluded, identify the specific cause (unaccredited qualifications, lack of job demand documentation or income tax documentation) and gather the necessary documentation to remedy it.
- Submit the remedy within 10 business days from October 9, 2026. Do not wait until the last day: registries may have queues or incidents.
- If you already appear as admitted, note the exam date — January 23, 2027 — and the location: INAP, Calle Atocha 106, Madrid. Check the specific shift assigned to your group and specialty in the resolution.
- Prepare the mandatory material: valid ID or passport and black or blue ink pen. Do not bring electronic devices unless you have prior authorization for disability reasons.
- HR departments of AGE: inform employees in the internal promotion process about remediation deadlines and the exam date.
