Agriculture Civil Service Exams 2026: Provisional Lists and M3 and M1 Exam on November 14

Key data

Candidates for permanent staff positions at the Ministry of Agriculture now have a concrete date on the calendar: November 14, 2026 is the day of the first exercise of the opposition phase. The Under-Secretariat of the Ministry has published, through Resolution of September 24, 2026, the provisional lists of admitted and excluded candidates for the professional groups M3 and M1, subject to the IV Single Collective Agreement of the General Administration of the State.

The process was originally called through Resolution of July 6, 2026 and includes access through both the general open access system and internal promotion. Now, with the publication in the Official Gazette on October 5, 2026, the critical period begins for those listed as excluded.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution approves the provisional lists of admitted and excluded persons and sets all the logistical details of the first exercise. The key aspects are:

Both exams will be held at the INAP (National Institute of Public Administration), located at Atocha Street 106, Madrid.

Regarding the excluded candidates, the regulation establishes that they have 10 working days counted from the publication in the Official Gazette (October 5, 2026) to submit the documentation or correct the defect that led to their exclusion. Those who do not do so within the deadline will be permanently excluded from the selection process, with no possibility of ordinary appeal on this matter.

As for the permitted material on exam day, the resolution specifies that candidates must bring:

• Pen with black or blue ink
• Valid identification document
• No electronic devices of any kind

Economic and operational impact

For candidates, the impact is fundamentally operational and deadline-related: there are no direct economic costs derived from this resolution, but there are irreversible consequences if action is not taken in time.

The main risk is permanent exclusion from the process for failing to correct within the 10 working days available. Since the Official Gazette was published on October 5, 2026, the correction deadline expires approximately in mid-October 2026 (excluding national and local holidays in Madrid).

For the Human Resources departments of the Ministry of Agriculture and related organizations, this resolution means the effective start of the selection phase to fill permanent staff positions in technical and maintenance specialties, which implies planning the incorporation of new personnel in groups M1 and M3 in the coming months.

Who does it affect?

• Group M3 candidates in the specialties of Sociology and Psychology who applied for the July 2026 call.
• Group M1 candidates in the specialties of General Maintenance, Building, and Audiovisual Sound.
• Candidates for open access and internal promotion included in the call of July 6, 2026.
• Provisionally excluded persons who must correct their situation before the deadline expires.
• Human Resources departments of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food that manage the selection process.

Practical example

Imagine that a candidate for group M1 (specialty: General Maintenance) receives notification that they appear as excluded in the provisional list because they did not correctly attach the documentation proving their qualifications in the initial application.

They have exactly 10 working days from October 5, 2026 to submit the documentation that corrects that defect. If they act within the deadline and their correction is accepted, they will appear in the final list of admitted candidates and will be able to take the exam on November 14, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. at INAP (Atocha Street 106, Madrid), with their ID and a pen with black or blue ink, without a mobile phone or any electronic device.

If they do not correct within the deadline, they are permanently excluded from the process and must wait for a new call.

What should candidates do now?

1. Check the provisional lists published in the Official Gazette of October 5, 2026 to verify if you appear as admitted or excluded.
2. If you appear as excluded, identify the reason for exclusion and prepare the necessary documentation to correct it. You have 10 working days from October 5 — do not wait until the last day.
3. Submit your correction through the channels enabled by the Ministry of Agriculture before the deadline expires (approximately mid-October 2026).
4. If you appear as admitted, mark on your calendar November 14, 2026 and the time corresponding to your group: 9:00 a.m. for M1 and 12:00 p.m. for M3.
5. Prepare the mandatory material for exam day: valid ID or identification document and a pen with black or blue ink. Remember that electronic devices are prohibited.
6. Confirm the location: INAP, Atocha Street 106, Madrid. Plan your travel in advance.
