Your personal conviction as to how your qualifications and experience should have been evaluated is subjective and cannot replace the Selection Board’s assessment. It does not constitute evidence of a manifest error by the Board.

The Selection Board’s evaluation criteria usually include the relevance of subjects studied, diplomas obtained, the level of the diploma, and the level and duration of professional experience.

Different reasons may explain a decision to exclude a candidate based on the pre-established selection criteria:

• Your diploma is not sufficiently related to the field of the competition; 
• Your diploma is not of the required level or duration; 
• Your experience is not sufficiently related to the field; 
• Your experience in the field is too short; 
• You have insufficient relevant experience after obtaining the required diploma for this competition.
