Between resolutions, manuals, ratios, grades, and conditions for remaining on the pool, it's easy to get lost.
In this guide you will find, gathered and explained calmly, Everything you need to know about calls for applications, pools, percentages of applicants, ratios per place, places offered, and key rules which affects those who take competitive exams or work as temporary staff in Education and in the General Administration of the Regional Government of Castilla-La Mancha.
Online job postings and temporary positions in Castilla-La Mancha
One of the central elements of the system for providing teaching positions is the online public appealwhich allows positions to be assigned to applicants from the waiting lists without the need for in-person meetings. It is regulated through specific resolutions, such as the Resolution of 05/11/2025 from the General Directorate of Human Resources, which calls for procedures to fill positions in different specialties through this system.
In these processes, positions are offered through an online application, and applicants submit their applications, selecting the options that interest them. It is essential to keep in mind that This type of appeal does not generate a new fundThey serve exclusively to fill specific positions with people who are already on the lists of temporary staff or other external applicants, but without giving rise to the creation of new stable lists.
In addition, the education administration has implemented and updated the tool for “tailor-made award”A computer system through which applicants for temporary teaching positions can submit their applications for places during the 2025/2026 academic year. To assist in the use of this application, a guide has been developed. specific help manual, which is provided in PDF format to guide you step by step in the application and correct completion of the data.
This tool is part of the application of the Order 90/2024, of May 21This amendment modifies Order 32/2018 and regulates the establishment and management of job pools, as well as the appointment and dismissal of temporary non-university teaching staff. This amendment has been in force since October 10, 2024. It directly affects how temporary positions and call-ups are managed. during the course.
Key rules for online calls and availability
The calls for online job offers emphasize one very important point: If you are part of the Castilla-La Mancha job pools and apply for positions in an online job posting, you are then obliged to accept the positions you applied for.If you do not accept any of the places you yourself have included in your application, you will be placed in a situation of UNAVAILABILITY throughout the course in the specialties in which you have participated.
This means that it's important to choose your requests very carefully, because It is not recommended to mark all the places "just in case".The administration itself emphasizes: «Choose only the positions you are genuinely interested in."In other words, better a few sure ones than many and then rejecting some, with the consequence of being out of the game for the rest of the course."
Another fundamental element is the joining the assigned positionIn these procedures, incorporation is immediate: telephone calls are made in the days following the award and, once the call is received, the The taking of office must be effective within a maximum of 48 hours.This requires a certain degree of personal and logistical flexibility, especially if applying for positions in different provinces.
These job postings also clearly specify that, for external applicants, Priority is determined by the grade, not by the order in which the application is received.In other words, the main ranking criterion is the academic qualification that grants access to the place, not the exact moment the application was submitted through the platform.
When completing the application, it is required to provide the average grade of the qualification that enables access to the positionNever the grade from the Master's degree in teacher training. Furthermore, that grade must be indicated with two decimal places without rounding, a technical detail that should be respected to avoid errors in the scoring process.

Percentage of applicants and ratio of applicants per place
Along with the exam topics, very useful information about the percentage of applicants who ultimately show up and the ratio of participants per place. This data, provided by the education administration, may vary slightly, but it offers a fairly realistic picture of the competition in each specialty.
As to percentage of those submittedFigures such as the following stand out: in Latin, 84 people took the exam (62,69%), in Spanish Language and Literature, 778 applicants (78,43%), in Business Administration, 208 (61,72%), and in English, 965 (79,16%). In Mathematics, 772 people took the exam (69,74%), in Biology and Geology, 577 (72,13%), and in Commercial Processes, 139 (57,9%).
Other specialties with their attendance percentages were: Drawing, with 438 submitted (73,98%); Computer Systems and Applications, with 122 (56,48%); Physical education, with 609 (71,9%); Economist , with 244 (56,09%); PGA, with 243 (59,41%); Clinical and Orthoprosthetic Diagnostic Procedures, with 158 (71,82%); Speak, with 393 (69,31%); and French, with 175 (66,04%).
In the technical specialties, data such as the following were recorded: Machining and Machine Maintenance, 45 opponents (71,43%); Philosophy, 237 (60,77%); Physics and chemistry, 605 (75,15%); Geography and History, 1091 (70,07%); Educational orientation, 553 (73,73%); Computer Technology, 161 (62,40%); Electrotechnical Installations, 121 (75,5%); and Vehicle maintenance, 117 (65,63%).
Alongside these percentages, the following is also published: ratio of applicants per placeThis data is very illustrative of the actual level of competition each candidate faces. For example, in Latin there are 8,40 applicants per place, in Spanish Language and Literature 8,46, and in Business Administration 13,87. In English the ratio is 10,49 applicants per place, in Mathematics 9,90, and in Biology and Geology 14,43.
In Business Processes, the average is 12,64 candidates per place; in Drawing, the pressure is greater at 19,91, while in Computer Systems and Applications the ratio drops considerably, with only 2,65 applicants per place. The case of Physical Education is particularly striking, with no fewer than 32,05 applicants per placeand the one for Economics, with 61 people per available position, which demonstrates a particularly high level of competence.
Other relevant ratios are: PGA, with 13,50; Clinical and Orthoprosthetic Diagnostic Procedures, with 17,56; Speak, with 43,67; French, with 15,91; Machining and Machine Maintenance, with 9; Philosophy, with 6,97; Physics and chemistry, with 12,60; Geography and History, with 13,14; Educational orientation, with 30,72; Computer Technology, with 3,50; Electrotechnical Installations, with 13,44; and Vehicle maintenance, with 23,4 applicants per place.
Available positions and upcoming competitive examination announcements
In the immediate future, it has been announced that the 2026 competitive examinations are expected to include 543 places for Secondary EducationThe tests will be held in June. This distribution has been designed because the rate of temporary employment in Secondary Education remains above 10%, while in the Primary Education Corps it is only around 2%.
To determine the number of places per specialty, the following have been taken into account: full-time job openings in each specialty, along with the current number of applicants "on the waiting list." The administration explains that a distribution has been made attempting to balance service needs and opportunities for applicants who have been on the waiting lists for some time or have held consecutive contracts.
Also on the calendar is the Call for applications for the Teaching Corps of 2026, which is expected to be published between the end of January and the beginning of February of that year. This timeframe allows for preparations to be made well in advance, especially for those who need to balance studies, work, and personal life.
In parallel, the 2025 selection procedures have been announced for the Secondary School Teachers Corps and the Corps of Specialist Teachers in Unique Vocational Training SectorsThe Resolution of 23/01/2025 covers the process of entry by open competition, access from bodies of a lower classification group, the acquisition of new specializations and the selection of candidates for teaching positions on an interim basis.
Another resolution of the same date regulates the shift for people with disabilitiesIt also includes a procedure for selecting candidates for temporary positions. Both resolutions specify the structure of the competitive examination, the merit-based phase, the entry requirements, and the formal aspects of participation.
Deadline for applications and renewals of temporary positions
For the 2025 call for applications, the application submission deadline The deadline was set between January 31 and February 19, 2025, both days inclusive. Within that period, applicants had to submit the electronic application, pay the fees, and upload the supporting documentation for their qualifications and requirements.
This same procedure also serves as renewal of temporary positions in the specialties announcedIn other words, it is not only used to apply for a permanent position, but also to remain correctly on the regular waiting list, provided that the conditions set out in the call for applications are met.
The rules define that the people who are part of the ordinary pool of a specialty in which there is a selection process They must take the competitive examination (in Castilla-La Mancha or another educational authority) to remain on the waiting list. Furthermore, in Castilla-La Mancha, they must submit an application for participation in the specialty in which they wish to remain and include their qualifications for re-evaluation, necessarily appearing on the final list of admitted candidates.
If you choose to apply in another autonomous community, it is mandatory to maintain your status as an applicant in the original pools in Castilla-La Mancha. provide a certification from the court of the other educational administrationThis document must be sent to the General Directorate of Human Resources via email. justificante.oposicion@jccm.es, with a submission deadline which, for this call, has been set at 07/07/2025.
If the same applicant belongs to several ordinary specialty pools with simultaneous processes Those called upon by Castilla-La Mancha simply need to participate in the selection process for any teaching position and specialty within any educational administration to maintain their status as applicants on all the lists in which they appear. However, in the Castilla-La Mancha region, they must submit an application for participation in each of the specialties they wish to pursue and provide the corresponding supporting documentation.
Requirements to remain on the regular stock exchange and on multiple stock exchanges
In summary, regarding the rules of permanence, applicants for temporary positions who are already in the ordinary job pool for a specialty with a competitive examination They are required to submit only one application to participate in Castilla-La Mancha (in the case of the Primary School Teachers Corps, it is a single pool) and to take the competitive examinations in one of the territories. Furthermore, they must provide supporting documentation for their qualifications to be assessed and appear on the final list of admitted candidates.
For those applying from outside Castilla-La Mancha, the key is in submit certification of having participated in the selection processThis certificate is issued by the selection panel and must be sent by email to the official address mentioned above before the deadline indicated in the call for applications. Failure to comply with this procedure may result in the loss of applicant status.
In the field of Secondary Education, if a person is listed in several ordinary bags at the same timeSimply applying to any selection process with any educational authority is sufficient to avoid exclusion from these pools. However, each specialty in Castilla-La Mancha that one wishes to pursue requires its own application and the submission of supporting documentation for evaluation.
The administration also clarifies when someone is considered to have has he actually presented himself to the oppositionThis refers to the person who attends the first exercise of the first test, that is, who enters the classroom and completes that initial part. It is not enough to have paid the fees or to have been admitted; one must physically appear for the exercise.
Regarding the use of grades obtained in other regions for re-evaluation in the job pools of Castilla-La Mancha, a very clear criterion is established: The ratings from other educational authorities cannot be used., except for the processes called between 2013 and 2016, which constitute a historical exception recognized by law.
Access to the regular job pool, the reserve job pool, and how the lists work
There are several ways to enter or remain in the temporary staff pools in Castilla-La ManchaIn the case of the regular pool, if you are already in it, you only need to process the renewal of destinations when appropriate or take the competitive examination to continue being part of it, provided that you meet the rest of the required requirements.
For those not yet listed on the stock exchange, there are ways to get in. On the one hand, you can enter the regular stock exchange if you obtain a grade equal to or higher than 5 in Part A (written topic) of the first test Or if, in the final exam, an overall score of at least 5 points is achieved. Alternatively, entry is also possible if, during the course, one is called to work, either through the standard assignment process or via online application.
In the case of incorporation by online appealFormal integration into the regular pool usually occurs the following year. This ensures continuity for those who have held positions throughout the year, even if they did not initially achieve the required score thresholds for inclusion in the pool after the competitive examination.
When a person does not obtain a 5 or higher in the competitive examination, but does participate, they may be included in a reserve bagThis pool is ordered according to the final score of the selection process and serves as an additional list to cover specific needs. However, it is temporary: it is specified that The reserve pool disappears in the next competitive examination.That is, it does not last indefinitely.
The lists are considered registrationThis means that scores are re-evaluated in each competitive examination process, updating the points for experience, competitive examinations, and training. In years when there are no competitive examinations, there is usually a procedure for renewal of temporary staff, in which destinations and availability must be confirmed, generally in mid-June.
Scale for ranking the lists of temporary staff (max. 10 points)
Once the competitive examination phase is over, the various pools of temporary staff are ordered according to a maximum score of 10 pointsThis ranking combines teaching experience, competitive examination score, and ongoing academic and professional development. This system is crucial because it determines the order in which applicants are called to work.
La previous teaching experience It can contribute up to 4,5 points. For each year worked in specialties within the same body to which one is applying, in public centers, 0,45 points are added; if that experience is in other types of centers, half is recognized (0,225 points per year). When it comes to services rendered in bodies different from the one that opposes0,225 points are awarded per year in public centers (and approximately 0,0125 in other centers, according to the specific rules).
La note of the opposition phase It also scores up to a maximum of 4,5 points. The average grade of the competitive examination is taken and multiplied by a correction factor of 0,45. Several supplements are added to this result: 0,75 additional points for having passed the competitive examination phase, 0,25 extra points if the grade is equal to or greater than 6 and less than 7, and 0,5 more points if the grade is equal to or greater than 7.
Thus, it is indicated that the maximum of 4,5 points per competitive examination with a score of 7,222 approximately, after applying the correction factor and the planned increases. In addition, the scores obtained in any of the competitive examinations held since January 1, 2010, will be taken into account; if any specialty has not been offered since before that date, the score from the immediately preceding examination will be used.
The third section of the scale corresponds to the training and other meritswhich can add up to 2 points. Within this section, a distinction is made between academic training (additional university degrees or other official studies) and continuing education, courses, professional development activities and other merits recognized in the call for applications.
This entire scale is applied after the competitive examination and is used both for update the order of the regular bags as well as to establish the positions of new hires. That's why it's essential not only to pass or get a good grade, but also to pay attention to the experience and continuing education sections.
Placement assignments, awards and availability statuses
Temporary teaching positions and many teaching vacancies are awarded through procedures computerized at the regional levelInitially, vacancies are assigned prior to the start of the school year; subsequently, throughout the year, replacements are assigned regularly, usually on Fridays of each week.
In addition to the ordinary regional procedure, there is an award mechanism Telematics specifically for replacements in hard-to-cover positionsThese allocations, also computerized, are usually made every other Wednesday, and allow for quickly filling positions that could not be assigned through the usual channels.
Another relevant aspect is the management of the availability For temporary staff, applicants can modify their availability status weekly, from the Friday assignments until the day before the next assignment. This allows them to adjust their personal situation (for example, temporarily opting out of being called) without losing their position on the waiting list, always within the limits established by the regulations.
These adjustment options are very useful, but they must be used with caution, because as already explained, Not accepting a place requested in an online offer may result in unavailability for the entire courseThe key is to keep your actual preferences up to date and not mark positions that you are not willing to take on later.
Within the General Administration of the JCCM, information on selection processes is centralized in the Public Employment PortalFrom there you can consult both open (ongoing) and closed (completed) processes, as well as the Approved Public Employment Offers and pending announcement.
Selection processes of the General Administration of the JCCM
The Public Employment Portal of Castilla-La Mancha continuously publishes court rulings, test dates, lists of admitted and excluded candidates, and disability accommodations This information pertains to the selection processes for civil servants and other employees of the Regional Government. It is frequently updated, so it is advisable to review it regularly.
For example, on November 5, several were made public court rulings with the lists of approved individuals and the call for the second test in various selection processes. All this information is channeled through the portal itself, where you have to select the participation shift, the type of personnel, the corps or group and the specialty to access the specific resolution.
On July 23, 2025, the court rulings were published, which included the media adaptations or time increases for those who had requested it and proven their right in the 2023-2024 Public Employment Offer processes.

Processes, lists and union support: a complex but manageable scenario
This whole network of resolutions, appeals, scales and pools It forms a complex system that, from the outside, can be overwhelming.

In practice, the key is in closely follow the Public Employment Portal and official educational information channelsPay attention to application deadlines and correction periods, and regularly check your status on the job pools (availability, provinces, types of positions, etc.). For many applicants, the support of unions specializing in education or public employment also becomes a useful tool for interpreting the fine print of the calls for applications and resolving specific doubts.
If you are preparing for or thinking about preparing for competitive exams in Castilla-La Mancha, it's important to understand that simply studying the syllabus isn't enough: it's equally important to grasp the concepts.
