Registration for high school students to select available colleges and institutes will run for five days, from Wednesday, August 12, to Sunday, August 16.

Approximately 266,931 students are eligible for this phase. Minimum score indicators have been set for different tracks: the new scientific system requires at least 68.75%, the new literary system 64.06%, the old scientific system 68.29%, and the old literary system 58.53%.

All registration and transfer procedures are conducted electronically via the official coordination website.
