The UPV announces 8 group B positions for the Scale of IT Systems and Technology Management Technician through the Resolution of July 27, 2026 (BOE-A-2026-18001). The positions are distributed between two differentiated access routes, with different requirements and quotas. The process is governed by the competitive examination system and unfilled positions in one quota may be accumulated to other routes.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution regulates a call for selective access tests to the Scale of IT Systems and Technology Management Technician of the UPV, with two clearly differentiated access modalities:
| Modality | Positions | Reserve | Main requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open competition (general access) | 4 | 2 positions reserved for persons with disabilities | IT qualification and compliance with general access requirements |
| Internal promotion | 4 | No specific reserve indicated | Be a career civil servant of the UPV with at least 2 years in the lower scale |
The selective system applied is competitive examination. A relevant aspect of the call design is that unfilled positions in one quota may be accumulated to other routes, which maximizes coverage of available vacancies.
Applications must be submitted exclusively via electronic means through the UPV electronic office. Paper applications or submissions through other channels will not be accepted. Persons with disabilities who need adaptations must request them in the participation application itself, not in a separate procedure.
Economic and operational impact
For the UPV, filling these 8 group B positions means incorporating specialized technical profiles in systems and information technology on a permanent basis. From an operational perspective, the call has two direct effects:
- For the institution: Reduction in dependence on temporary staff or outsourcing in the IT area, with consequent workforce stabilization and long-term cost predictability.
- For selected candidates: Access to a career civil servant position in group B, with the stability, remuneration, and rights associated with public employment in a public university.
The reservation of 2 of the 4 open competition positions for persons with disabilities (50% of that quota) reflects a commitment to inclusion above the usual legal minimum. The accumulation of unfilled positions between quotas ensures that the call does not remain empty due to lack of candidates in a specific route.
Who does it affect?
- Career civil servants of the UPV who have been in the lower scale for at least 2 years and wish to promote internally to the Scale of IT Systems and Technology Management Technician (group B).
- Citizens with IT qualifications seeking access to university public employment through open competition.
- Persons with disabilities with IT profile: 2 of the 4 open competition positions are reserved for this group.
- HR advisors and selection managers from other universities or public administrations, as a reference for call design models in the IT field.
Practical example
Imagine you are a career civil servant of the UPV, you have been in a group C scale related to systems administration for 3 years, and you want to move up to group B. This internal promotion call is your direct route: you meet the minimum seniority requirement (2 years in the lower scale) and can apply for one of the 4 positions reserved for this route.
The process: you access the UPV electronic office, complete the participation application indicating that you are applying for the internal promotion route, and submit it between September 7 and 18, 2026. If you do not fill a position through this route, remember that unfilled positions in internal promotion can be accumulated to open competition, which could expand available opportunities in that quota.
If instead you are an external professional with IT qualifications and recognized disability, you have access to 2 positions specifically reserved within open competition, with the same electronic application process.
What should interested parties do now?
- Verify if you meet the requirements before September 7: For internal promotion, confirm that you are a career civil servant of the UPV with at least 2 years in the lower scale. For open competition, check that your IT qualification meets the call conditions.
- Access the UPV electronic office and prepare your digital certificate: The application is exclusively electronic. Make sure your digital identification system is operational before the deadline begins.
- Submit your application between September 7 and 18, 2026: Do not wait until the last day. Electronic systems can become overloaded and applications submitted outside the deadline will not be accepted.
- If you have a disability, request adaptations in the participation application itself: There is no separate procedure; the request for adaptations must be included in the same participation form.
- Consult the complete resolution in the BOE: Review the syllabus, scoring criteria, and process phases in the official text to prepare for the examination in advance.
Frequently asked questions

8 positions in total for group B are announced: 4 through open competition (of which 2 are reserved for persons with disabilities) and 4 through internal promotion for UPV career civil servants with at least 2 years in the lower scale.
When and how are applications submitted for the UPV IT civil service exams?
The application deadline is September 7-18, 2026. Applications must be submitted exclusively via electronic means through the UPV electronic office. No other channel is accepted.
What is the minimum requirement for internal promotion at the UPV?
To access through the internal promotion route, you must be a career civil servant of the UPV and demonstrate at least two years of seniority in the lower scale to which the call is made.
What happens if positions in a quota remain unfilled?
The resolution provides that unfilled positions in one quota (for example, in internal promotion) may be accumulated to other routes (for example, to open competition), which prevents vacancies from remaining unassigned due to lack of candidates in a specific route.
