Turkey YKS placement, exams, and student support updates

Overview

The 2026 YKS additional placement process concluded on September 21, and candidates are currently awaiting results. While ÖSYM has not released an official announcement date, historical data suggests results may be accessible via the official system approximately one week after the application period ends.

ÖSYM is managing several upcoming examinations. The e-YDS 2026/10 English exam is scheduled for Saturday, September 26, at electronic testing centers in Adana, Ankara, Istanbul, and Izmir. This exam consists of 80 questions to be completed in 180 minutes, with results expected the same day.

On Sunday, September 27, two professional exams will take place starting at 10:15: the Law Professions Entrance Exam (2026-HMGS/2) and the Administrative Judiciary Preliminary Exam (2026-İYÖS). The HMGS will be held in 18 centers across 17 provinces, while the İYÖS will be held in 9 centers across 8 provinces. Both exams allow 155 minutes for 120 questions. Candidates for these professional exams must achieve a minimum score of 70 out of 100 to pass, with results scheduled for release on October 22.

Regarding student support, the Credit and Dormitories General Directorate (KYK) is preparing to accept additional dormitory applications for the 2026-2027 academic year via the e-Devlet portal once university registrations are finalized. This includes students from additional quotas, transfers, and graduate students. While the Ministry of Youth and Sports has not announced specific dates for KYK scholarships and loans, they are expected to align with the academic calendar.

Furthermore, the Foundations General Directorate (VGM) has announced its scholarship schedule. Applications for primary, middle, and high school students will run from October 6 to October 20, 2026. Application dates for higher education students (undergraduate and associate degree) will be determined following the YKS and DGS additional placement processes.
