How to File a Reclamo Over Ascenso Docente Results in Peru

A teacher who disputes a preliminary Ascenso Docente result files a reclamo through the platform MINEDU sets up for that convocatoria, within a short window it opens right after publishing preliminary results, separately for the Prueba Unica Nacional and again later for the Etapa Descentralizada. Missing that window generally means the preliminary result stands.

What is the reclamo process for the Prueba Unica Nacional?

In the 2025 cycle, MINEDU opened the reclamo window for Prueba Nacional results from December 6 through December 12, 2025, according to Libero’s reporting. A teacher accesses the competition’s general platform or a dedicated reclamos registration form, logs in with their DNI and the requested details, and describes the request clearly, for example as a review of their Prueba Nacional score. MINEDU reviewed those reclamos and responded between December 10 and 18, 2025, publishing definitive Prueba Nacional results on December 18, 2025, per the same report.

Is there a separate reclamo window for the Etapa Descentralizada?

Yes. After the Prueba Nacional reclamo process closes, MINEDU opens a second, later window for reclamos against the Etapa Descentralizada’s preliminary results, submitted to the Comite de Evaluacion rather than through the national exam’s own platform. In the 2025 cycle, that window ran from January 26 to January 29, 2026, according to the same reporting. This is separate from the Prueba Nacional’s own reclamo period and covers the merit-review component described in how the ascenso score is calculated, not the exam score.

What information does a reclamo submission need?

Based on the process described for the 2025 cycle, a teacher accesses the reclamo registration form with their DNI, and states clearly what is being disputed, such as a request to review the Prueba Nacional score. Since the reclamo process runs on the specific platform MINEDU sets up for that convocatoria, a teacher should confirm the exact form and required fields against the current cycle’s own announcement rather than assuming an earlier year’s process repeats unchanged.

How much time does a teacher have after preliminary results are published?

Based on the 2025 cycle, the window was short, about a week for the Prueba Nacional reclamo and roughly four days for the Etapa Descentralizada reclamo, so a teacher needs to check preliminary results as soon as MINEDU publishes them rather than waiting. A teacher tracking these dates can use the site’s exam countdown tool once MINEDU publishes the results and reclamo deadlines for the current cycle, to avoid missing the window.

Does a reclamo change a teacher’s final ranking on its own?

A reclamo triggers a review of the specific score being disputed, and if MINEDU corrects the score, that correction feeds into the teacher’s final total alongside the other component, as covered in how the puntaje is calculated. Filing a reclamo does not guarantee a change; it opens a review, and the definitive results published afterward reflect whatever corrections, if any, that review produced.
