The Ivorian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research opened on Monday, November 9, the 2026 supplementary session for recruitment to the position of Assistant. Online registrations are accepted until November 26, while physical application files must be submitted from November 10 to 30 at the École normale supérieure.
Candidates must register on the Human Resources Directorate platform of the ministry. The medical examination required for the issuance of the certificate of non-stuttering will be held from November 9 to 27 at the Medical Center of Félix Houphouët-Boigny University.
The competition is open to holders of a doctorate or an equivalent degree, as well as to holders of certain professional qualifications, notably those of state-certified design engineer, architect, or chartered accountant. Ivorian nationality is required, except for applications for contract-based recruitment.
New non-civil servant candidates must be no older than 45 years as of December 31, 2026. For civil servants, the ministry considers agents in grades B3, A3, or A4 who have at least three years of seniority in their current position.
The procedure includes online registration, uploading the digital file, submitting the physical file, administrative validation, and printing the application form. The registration and file review fees amount to 50,000 FCFA and can be paid via mobile payment or bank card.
Candidates already approved during the July 2026 session benefit from a simplified physical file. They must provide the new registration form, a criminal record certificate less than three months old, the payment receipt, and a USB key containing the required documents. The non-stuttering certificates issued during this July session remain valid.
