Key facts about the competition

Calendar

• Announcement published: 6 November 2026.
• Application deadline: 22 November 2026.
• Competition date: 29 November 2026.

These dates are decisive: any file submitted after the deadline is rejected, as are incomplete files or files containing inaccurate information.

Eligibility conditions

Nationality and age

Candidates must have Moroccan nationality and meet the legal age condition for competing. For the administrateur 3rd grade cadre, the candidate must be at least 18 years old and no more than 45 years old on 1 January of the current year. Civil servants who are not subject to the age condition are exempt from it, in accordance with the announcement.

Required diploma

A certificate of success does not replace the diploma. For diplomas awarded by foreign universities or private institutions, the equivalence procedures laid down in the official texts apply.

Application file and required documents

The file must be complete and legible. It includes:

• A handwritten application to take part, addressed to the president of the institution concerned, showing the candidate's name, address, telephone number and email address, signed by hand, and stating the cadre and specialty.
• A curriculum vitae (CV) with the candidate's photograph.
• A copy of the electronic national identity card.
• A copy of the required diploma in the specialty indicated above (a certificate of success is not accepted).
• A copy of the equivalence decision published in the Official Bulletin, accompanied, where applicable, by the certificates and diplomas specified in the equivalence decision, for a diploma awarded by a foreign university.
• A copy of the table published in the Official Bulletin setting the equivalence of the diploma awarded by a private university or a Moroccan private higher-education institution.
• Authorisation to compete for candidates who are civil servants.
• Authorisation from the Head of Government for candidates who have exceeded the recruitment age limit.
• A copy of the document certifying the disability situation, issued by the services of the competent government authority, for the candidates concerned.
• A copy of the document certifying membership of the former resistance fighters, wards of the nation, former military personnel or former combatants, for the candidates concerned.

Notes on conditional documents

Some documents are required only in specific situations: the equivalence decision concerns only holders of foreign diplomas, the official table only holders of diplomas from private institutions, the authorisation only civil servants, and the Head of Government authorisation only candidates who have exceeded the age limit. Documents relating to disability or to the status of former resistance fighter, ward of the nation, former military personnel or former combatant are requested only from the candidates concerned.

Tests and selection arrangements

Structure of the tests

According to the table in the announcement, the competition for the technicien 3rd grade cadre includes the following tests:

• General written test: covering the various economic, social, political and administrative aspects at national and international level, written obligatorily in Arabic, lasting three (3) hours, coefficient 04.
• Special written test: relating to the specialty covered by the competition, lasting three (3) hours, coefficient 06.

The source table also contains tests specific to other cadres (ingénieur d'État 1st grade, administrateur 2nd and 3rd grade), which apply here only insofar as they concern the grade being competed for. The most precise reference remains the official announcement and its annexes.

Success and selection

Candidates whose files have been accepted, who have sat both written tests and obtained the required average are admitted to the oral test, under the conditions set by the regulatory provisions in force. The lists of candidates admitted to the written and oral tests are published on dedicated websites, and this publication constitutes official convocation.

Practical preparation checklist

This list is indicative and does not replace the official conditions:

• Check that your licence in Business Management or a corresponding specialty is available in original form.
• Review the equivalence file if the diploma is foreign or awarded by a private institution.
• Prepare a handwritten, signed application with all the required details.
• Draft a CV with a recent photograph.
• Gather legible copies of the identity card, the diploma and the other conditional documents.
• Create your account on the electronic platform in advance and test the upload.
• Keep a copy of the submitted file and the submission receipt.
• Schedule a revision of public policies, economics and administration, then focus on business management.
• Practise writing in Arabic on economic, social and administrative topics.

Prepared in this way, the candidate can approach the competition methodically, taking care to meet the deadline and complete the file, two decisive factors for acceptance of the application.
