How do you check CNSC concurso results?

Results for a CNSC concurso appear in two places depending on the stage: interim test scores publish inside SIMO, where each aspirant checks their own account, and the final ranked outcome, the lista de elegibles, publishes in the Banco Nacional de Listas de Elegibles, the BNLE, at bnle.cnsc.gov.co, searchable by anyone. You do not need a special credential to search the BNLE; you need the name of the selection process and the OPEC job number you competed for.

Where do stage-by-stage results show up first?

Inside SIMO, under your own account, once each stage’s results are published according to the calendar fixed in the acuerdo de convocatoria. This includes the verificacion de requisitos outcome, then the score from the prueba de competencias or aptitudes, then the valoracion de antecedentes score, and, for the Concurso Docente, the entrevista score. Each of these publications opens its own reclamacion window if you disagree with the result; our post on filing a reclamacion in SIMO explains the deadlines and how to argue one.

How do I search the Banco Nacional de Listas de Elegibles?

Go to the BNLE’s general consultation page, enter the nombre del proceso de seleccion in the search field, and enter the numero de empleo, the OPEC code, for the job you competed for. The system returns the ranked list of every aspirant who reached that stage for that specific empleo, ordered by final weighted score. Because each OPEC number produces its own separate list, searching by the wrong job code returns nothing useful even if you search the right process name.

Why can’t I find my process yet in the BNLE?

Because the BNLE only holds listas de elegibles once they are en firme, after the full stage sequence and any reclamacion windows have closed. A process still in its testing or valoracion de antecedentes stage will not have a BNLE entry yet; check SIMO directly for interim results instead. Our overview of how the stages of a concurso fit together shows where in the sequence a lista de elegibles actually appears.

Does the CNSC notify me directly when results publish?

Generally not by an unprompted phone call or letter; aspirants are expected to check SIMO and the CNSC’s own publication calendar for the process. Setting a reminder for the dates fixed in the acuerdo, rather than waiting to be told, is the practical approach; our exam countdown tool can track a fixed publication date once the acuerdo confirms it.

What should I do if my name is missing entirely from a published list?

Check first whether you were eliminated at an earlier stage, such as verificacion de requisitos, since only aspirants who pass every prior stage appear on the final lista de elegibles. If you believe that elimination was in error, the reclamacion channel through SIMO, not the BNLE, is where that gets disputed, and only within the deadline fixed for that specific stage.

FAQ

Is the BNLE the same platform as SIMO? No. SIMO is where you inscribe and track your own stage-by-stage results. The BNLE is a separate public consultation tool specifically for final listas de elegibles, searchable by anyone with the process name and OPEC number.

Can I check someone else’s result on the BNLE? The BNLE search returns the full ranked list for a given process and empleo, which is public by nature since the ranking itself determines who the entity must hire; it is not restricted to the aspirant’s own account the way SIMO is.

How long after the tests are applied do results typically publish? The exact timeline is fixed by the acuerdo de convocatoria for each process and varies by process; there is no single fixed number across every CNSC concurso, so check the specific calendar rather than assuming a standard interval.

What if the BNLE site is down or slow? Try again later or check the CNSC’s own portal for a status notice; CNSC processes frequently see heavy simultaneous traffic right after a major publication, which can slow the platform temporarily.

Do I need to pay anything to check my results? No, checking results in SIMO or the BNLE carries no fee; only the initial inscription’s derecho de participacion, where applicable, involves a payment.
