Release of DGS 2026 Questions and Answer Key; Guide to Viewing on the ÖSYM System

Today, Sunday, July 19, 2026, one of the most important academic competitions in Turkey for associate degree graduates was held. The Vertical Transfer Exam (DGS), managed by the Turkish Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM), concluded with the participation of more than 239,000 candidates across the country and Northern Cyprus [1]. Immediately after the exam ended, ÖSYM, following the practice of previous years, made the question booklet and answer key available to the public and candidates.

Details of the DGS 2026 Exam This year's DGS exam was held in 81 provinces of Turkey and the city of Lefkoşa. According to official statistics, 239,681 candidates registered for this exam, competing in more than 9,000 exam halls [3]. The exam consisted of 100 questions in the Numerical (Sayısal) and Verbal (Sözel) sections, and candidates had 135 minutes to answer the questions. The exam process began at 10:15 AM and ended at 12:30 PM [4].

How to View Questions and Answer Key in the AİS System ÖSYM announced that 10 percent of the exam questions and the answer key have been published publicly on the organization's official website. However, candidates who participated in the exam can access the full version of their question booklet [1]. To do this, applicants must visit the Candidate Transaction System (AİS) at ais.osym.gov.tr and log in using their T.C. Kimlik No and password [2].

Access to these questions is time-limited. According to the official statement, candidates have only 10 days (until 23:59 on July 29, 2026) to view and review their questions and answers in the system [1]. This opportunity allows students to calculate their approximate score by matching their answers with the official key.

Final Results Announcement and Exam Validity Many candidates are eagerly waiting for the final results after reviewing the answer key. According to the ÖSYM 2026 exam calendar, the final results of the DGS exam will be officially announced on August 13, 2026 [3].

It should be noted that the scores obtained in this exam will only be valid for department selection and placement in the 2026-2027 academic year. Candidates are ranked based on their verbal and numerical section scores as well as their Associate Degree Grade Point Average (ÖBP) to continue their education at the undergraduate (4-year) level [4].

Publishing, republishing, or copying the questions without written permission from ÖSYM is prohibited and subject to legal prosecution [1].
