Turkey 2026 exam and university placement cycle
Overview
The 2026 Turkish academic and examination cycle continues to evolve with updates to the Public Personnel Selection Exam (KPSS) series. Legal challenges regarding the Harran University Osmanbey Campus irregularities in Şanlıurfa have intensified. While ÖSYM concluded an investigation finding non-compliant practices in 22 halls affecting 392 candidates—leading to a decision to hold a compensatory exam—a lawsuit has been filed in the Ankara 24th Administrative Court seeking the nationwide cancellation of the September 6 undergraduate session.
Following the release of the KPSS Undergraduate exam results on October 7, 2026, candidates awaited branch-specific rankings, which were expected via the ÖSYM Candidate Transactions System (AİS) around October 14. To prepare for the KPSS Secondary Education session, ÖSYM addressed proctor shortages by encouraging teacher applications and setting updated fees for supervisors and invigilators.
The KPSS Secondary Education exam was held on October 25, 2026, with approximately 2,985,438 candidates participating across 254 centers in 81 provinces and Nicosia. The session utilized over 415,000 personnel, including police and gendarmerie, to ensure security. Results are scheduled for release on November 19, 2026, and question booklets remain available for review until November 4.
Parallel to the exam cycle, large-scale recruitment continues. Universities such as Çankiri Karatekin and Marmara are conducting staff recruitment, while the İŞKUR Youth Program is providing student employment opportunities in Eskişehir and Aydın. The KPSS Associate Degree results remain scheduled for release on October 30, 2026, and the central placement for KPSS 2026/2 is set for December 17–24, 2026.
