With the official publication of the KPSS-2026/1 guide on July 3, 2026, candidates for employment in Turkish government institutions have entered the critical stage of job selection. This process, which involves determining recruitment preferences, defines the path to entering the country's administrative body.
The KPSS-2026/1 Preference Marathon Begins
Today, July 3, 2026, the Assessment, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) officially announced the publication of the preference guide for the first stage of centralized selection for 2026 (KPSS-2026/1) [1]. This stage is vital for thousands of graduates who participated in recruitment exams; based on scores obtained and announced quotas, candidates can apply for vacant positions in various government organizations and institutions [2].
Timeline and Deadline for Registering Preferences
According to the published announcement, although the guide has been made available today, the timeframe for registering preferences in the system will begin on July 9, 2026, and will continue until 23:59 on July 16, 2026 [3]. Candidates should note that after this deadline, no applications will be accepted and the system will close automatically. All preference selection steps are performed online through the ÖSYM Candidate Transactions System (AİS) [1].
Key Points in the Guide
The KPSS-2026/1 guide includes a detailed list of all field codes, provincial quotas, and specific conditions for each organizational post. Experts recommend that candidates carefully review the following items before taking any action:
- Special Condition Codes: Some posts require additional documents such as a driver's license, language certificates, or specific technical skills [2].
- Educational Degree Matching: Ensuring that the graduation code matches the job qualification requirements.
- Geographical Prioritization: Choosing cities where the chance of acceptance is higher based on the score obtained.
How to Register in the System
Applicants must visit ais.osym.gov.tr to register their preferences and log in using their National ID Number (T.C. Kimlik No) and private password [3]. Access is also provided through the e-Devlet gateway. After selecting the list of jobs, final confirmation and obtaining a tracking code are mandatory to ensure the correct registration of preferences [1]. This centralized selection is conducted based on the "General Regulation on Recruitment Exams for the First Time," and the KPSS score will be the primary placement criterion.
The preference process for the KPSS-2026/1 centralized selection has officially begun.
