With the publication of the KPSS 2026/1 guide by the Measurement, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM), the selection process for employment in government departments has begun. Candidates must register their preferences by the deadline of July 16.
The selection process for the first central placement of 2026 (KPSS 2026/1) has officially begun. Thousands of candidates who participated in the recruitment exams are now at the critical stage of choosing job positions based on their scores and qualifications. According to the official announcement by ÖSYM, this stage is considered a vital opportunity to enter the executive and administrative body of the government [1].
Key Dates and Final Selection Deadline According to the calendar published by ÖSYM, the selection process started on July 9, 2026. Candidates have only until the end of the day on July 16, 2026 (23:59) to register their priority list in the system [3]. Experts recommend that candidates do not leave their registration to the final hours to avoid potential system traffic. After this deadline, no applications will be accepted, and it will not be possible to edit preferences [4].
How to Register a Request in the AİS System All stages of the selection process are conducted electronically through the ÖSYM Candidate Transactions System (AİS). The step-by-step process is as follows: 1. Log in to the official website at ais.osym.gov.tr. 2. Enter the system using the T.C. Identification Number (T.C. Kimlik No) and the candidate's password. 3. Select the "KPSS-2026/1 Tercih" section from the list of active exams. 4. Enter the codes related to the desired job positions based on the guide [1][2].
Details of Capacities and Qualification Codes In this round of central recruitment, a total of 2,083 job positions have been considered for various educational levels, including secondary, associate, and undergraduate degrees [1]. Candidates must carefully check the "Qualification Codes" (Nitelik Kodları) related to that job before selecting any code. These codes include specific conditions such as field of study, language skills, or special certificates. A mismatch between the candidate's conditions and the qualification codes will lead to the cancellation of acceptance in the final stage [3].
Vital Tips for Admission Success Admission in this stage is based solely on the KPSS score and the candidate's prioritization. If the scores of two candidates for a single post are equal, priority is given to the person whose graduation date is older, and if they are still equal, the age of the candidate is the criterion [1]. Additionally, candidates should note that the selection fee (if present in the guide) must be paid within the specified period for their choices to be finalized in the system [2].
KPSS 2026/1 candidates can register their job preferences in the AİS system until midnight on July 16.
