Late Registration Dates for 2026 KPSS Undergraduate Exam Announced

The Measurement, Selection and Placement Center of Turkey (ÖSYM) has clarified the details regarding the late registration for the 2026 Public Personnel Selection Examination (KPSS) at the undergraduate level through a new announcement. This exam, considered the most critical stage for entering the Turkish civil service, has seen widespread interest this year. According to reports published in media outlets such as HaberX and Habertürk, candidates who failed to register between July 1 and July 13 for any reason now have one final and limited opportunity [1][3].

Exact Calendar for 2026 KPSS Late Registration According to the official schedule provided by ÖSYM, the late registration process for all undergraduate candidates, including the General and Field Knowledge (Alan Bilgisi) sections, will begin on July 22, 2026. This deadline is very short and will definitively end at the close of July 23, 2026 (23:59) [2]. Candidates should note that this period will not be extended under any circumstances and represents the last chance to participate in the 2026 recruitment marathon.

Registration Fees and Late Penalty One of the most important points in the late registration phase is the change in the fee structure. According to ÖSYM regulations, individuals registering during this period are required to pay the exam fee with a 50 percent increase over the normal rate [3].

Based on the rates announced for 2026:
- General Ability and General Culture Exam: 1200 Turkish Lira.
- Field Knowledge Exam (per session): 750 Turkish Lira [1].

Payments must be made exclusively through the ÖSYM online payment system (odeme.osym.gov.tr) during the registration days. Unlike the regular period, payments through bank branches are not possible during the late stage, and only valid debit and credit cards are accepted [4].

Exam Dates After completing the registration steps, candidates must prepare for the various exam sessions. The 2026 Undergraduate exam calendar is as follows: - General Session (Genel Yetenek-Genel Kültür): September 6, 2026. - Field Knowledge Sessions (Day 1): September 12, 2026. - Field Knowledge Sessions (Day 2): September 13, 2026 [2][3].

The results of these exams are expected to be announced in October 2026 to begin the process of selecting and placing personnel in government offices.

How to Register in the AIS System To register, candidates must visit the Candidate Transactions System (AİS) at ais.osym.gov.tr. Having an up-to-date passport photo in the system and educational confirmation from the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is mandatory. If the candidate's information in the system is outdated, they must first update their profile through ÖSYM central offices and then finalize their request during the July 22-23 window [4].
