Overview
- The SIDE published Resolución 941/2026 and on Tuesday, November 3 opened registration for the Concurso Público de Ingreso 2027, with applications accepted online through November 30 at SIDE.gob.ar/carreras.
- The selection is four eliminatory stages: an anonymous written general exam, psychophysical and counterintelligence evaluations scored apt/no apt, a written technical idoneity exam, and a final colloquium before a SIDE tribunal with a minimum passing score of 7 or 'apto'.
- Admitted candidates enter the Curso Básico de Ingreso with exclusive dedication, receive a monthly Estipendio Estudiantil that is explicitly non‑remunerative and does not create labor or pension rights, and final incorporation depends on order of merit and available vacancies.
- Applicants must pass background and security investigations, medical checks, and be willing to relocate to Ciudad de Buenos Aires, and the SIDE has started public outreach with posters on streets and some university campuses to publicize the call.
- The call implements the career framework set by Decreto 1021/26, which takes effect January 1, 2027, and was launched while the government is carrying out broad public‑sector cuts and a voluntary‑retirement plan; a report that Daniel Esteban will lead the ENI remains based on a single outlet and is not widely corroborated.
