Applicants for fixed labor personnel of the General State Administration now have a date: February 28, 2027 is the D-day for groups M3, M2, M1, E2, and E1 in open access. The Under-Secretariat of Inclusion, Social Security, and Migration has published the provisional lists of admitted and excluded candidates through the Resolution of September 30, 2026 (BOE-A-2026-20850), which came into force on October 7, 2026.
The process is governed by the IV Collective Agreement for labor personnel of the General State Administration and was originally called by the Resolution of July 2, 2026. Now begins the critical phase: review of lists and logistical preparation for the exam.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution approves the provisional lists of admitted and excluded applicants in the selective process for fixed labor personnel of the AGE. These lists are provisional in nature: candidates listed as excluded or who do not appear in any list may act during the correction period.
Additionally, the resolution sets the logistical details of the opposition phase exercises:
| Professional group | Access route | Exam date | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| M3 and M2 | Open access | February 28, 2027 | Faculty of Law, UCM, Madrid |
| M1, E2, and E1 | Open access | February 28, 2027 | Faculty of Law, UCM, Madrid |
| E1 | Internal promotion | March 3, 2027 | To be determined |
The resolution also establishes the conditions for classroom access:
- It is mandatory to bring black or blue ink pen.
- It is mandatory to present a valid identity document.
- Electronic devices are prohibited inside classrooms during exercises.
Economic and operational impact
For applicants, the most immediate impact is operational and deadline-related: the most costly error in this type of process is failing to review the provisional lists in time. Being excluded due to a correctable defect—incorrect data in the application, a missing document—and not claiming it within 10 business days results in definitive exclusion from the process, losing months or years of preparation.
For organizations and HR departments of the AGE, this resolution activates incorporation planning: groups M3 to E1 cover key technical and operational profiles. Knowing the dates allows anticipating coverage needs if there are pending vacancies to be filled by this process.
From a logistical perspective, the concentration of all open access groups on the same day (February 28, 2027) and venue (Faculty of Law of the UCM, Madrid) implies a large-scale call. Applicants residing outside Madrid must plan travel and accommodation in advance.
Who does it affect?
- Applicants in open access to professional groups M3, M2, M1, E2, and E1 of fixed labor personnel of the AGE.
- Applicants for internal promotion to group E1, with a differentiated exam date (March 3, 2027) and venue still to be determined.
- Excluded or unlisted candidates in the provisional lists, who have 10 business days to correct defects or claim omissions.
- HR departments and planning managers of General State Administration bodies that manage positions linked to these professional groups.
- Academies and opposition exam preparers who must adjust their preparation schedules to the confirmed dates.
Practical example
Imagine an applicant for group M2 submitted their application in July 2026 but made an error when entering their ID number. When checking the provisional lists published on October 7, 2026, they find that they appear in the list of excluded candidates.
They have exactly 10 business days from that date to submit a correction request to the Under-Secretariat of Inclusion, Social Security, and Migration, providing documentation that proves the correct data. If they act within the deadline, they can be included in the final list and take the exam on February 28, 2027 at the Faculty of Law of the UCM. If they do not act, the exclusion will be definitive and they will not be able to participate in this selective process.
On the other hand, a civil servant applying for internal promotion to group E1 must watch for the publication of the exam location, as the resolution indicates that the venue for March 3, 2027 is still to be determined.
What should applicants do now?
- Immediately check the provisional lists published in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-20850) to verify if you appear as admitted or excluded.
- Act within 10 business days from October 7, 2026 if you appear as excluded or if you do not appear in any list: submit a correction or claim request to the Under-Secretariat of Inclusion, Social Security, and Migration.
- Confirm the exam date and venue: February 28, 2027 at the Faculty of Law of the UCM (Madrid) for open access; March 3, 2027 at a venue to be determined for internal promotion to group E1.
- Prepare mandatory materials: black or blue ink pen and valid identity document. Remember that electronic devices are prohibited in classrooms.
- Plan travel logistics if you reside outside Madrid, since all open access groups take the exam on the same day at the UCM.
- Watch for the publication of the venue for applicants for internal promotion to group E1, whose exam location has not yet been determined.
