Civil Service Exam Procedural Processing 2026: provisional list and exam date

Key data

If you are a civil servant of the Administration of Justice and applied for internal promotion to the Procedural and Administrative Processing Body, the Order PJC/342/2026 published on April 16, 2026 is the step you were waiting for: the provisional list of admitted and excluded candidates is now available, the exam date is known and the panels that will evaluate the candidates have been appointed.

This resolution is a critical procedural milestone in the selection process called by the Order PJC/1550/2025, of December 22. From now on, each candidate must verify their status and act quickly if they appear on the provisional exclusion list.

What does this regulation establish?

Order PJC/342/2026 regulates three essential aspects of the selection process:

The base call is Order PJC/1550/2025, of December 22, 2025, which initiated this internal promotion access process to the Procedural and Administrative Processing Body of the Administration of Justice. Order PJC/342/2026 is, therefore, the first major procedural milestone since that call: it transforms the applications submitted into an official provisional list with concrete effects for each candidate.

Operational impact for candidates

Although this regulation does not generate direct economic costs for organizations, it has immediate and relevant operational consequences for affected civil servants:

• Urgent verification of status: Each candidate must check whether they appear as admitted or provisionally excluded. The list is already published and the remedy period runs from publication.
• Limited remedy period: Provisionally excluded candidates have a specific period to correct defects or file claims. If they do not act within that period, the exclusion becomes final and they lose access to the selection process.
• Exam planning: With the exercise date already set, admitted candidates can organize their preparation, request leave or adjust their work schedule with sufficient notice.
• Panel composition known: The publication of the single qualifying panel and delegated panels allows candidates to know who will evaluate them, which may be relevant in case of recusals or subsequent incidents.

Who does it affect?

This regulation affects exclusively a very specific group:

• Active civil servants of the Administration of Justice who submitted an application to participate in the internal promotion call published through Order PJC/1550/2025, of December 22, 2025.
• Candidates who appear on the provisional exclusion list and need to remedy defects or file claims within the established period.
• Admitted candidates who must plan their preparation and attendance at the exam on the date set by Order PJC/342/2026.
• Human resources managers of judicial bodies who must manage leave or absences of personnel affected by the selection process.

It does not affect private companies, self-employed workers or civil servants from other administrations who do not participate in this specific call.

Practical example

A civil servant from the Judicial Assistance Body who submitted their application for internal promotion in December 2025 now accesses the BOE of April 16, 2026 to consult Order PJC/342/2026 and verify their status.

If they appear on the provisional list of admitted candidates, their next step is to confirm the exam date set in the same order, organize their preparation and, if necessary, request the corresponding leave from their judicial body with sufficient notice.

If, on the other hand, they appear on the provisional list of excluded candidates, they must identify the reason for exclusion indicated in the resolution, gather the documentation proving they meet the requirements or remedy the defect indicated, and file the claim within the period established in Order PJC/342/2026. Failure to act within the deadline implies the definitive loss of the opportunity to participate in this selection process.

What should candidates do now?

1. Consult the provisional list in the BOE: Access the full text of Order PJC/342/2026 in the BOE and locate your name in the list of admitted or provisionally excluded candidates.
2. If you are excluded, act immediately: Identify the reason for exclusion, prepare the remedy documentation or claim letter and submit it within the period established in the order. Do not wait until the last day.
3. If you are admitted, note the exam date: Order PJC/342/2026 sets the specific date for the opposition phase examination. Organize your preparation and manage in advance any leave or work absence necessary.
4. Review the composition of the panels: The order publishes the single qualifying panel and delegated panels. Check that there is no cause for recusal that you should communicate.
5. Keep monitoring the BOE: After the remedy period, the final list of admitted candidates will be published. Set up alerts or check the BOE periodically so you do not miss that next step in the process.
