ÖSYM Announces 2026 AGS and ÖABT Exam Locations

Details of the New ÖSYM Announcement

The Assessment, Selection and Placement Center in Turkey (ÖSYM), in an official statement released on July 16, 2026, announced that the process of determining exam centers for two crucial exams, AGS (National Education Academy Entrance Exam) and ÖABT (Teaching Field Knowledge Test), has been completed [1]. These exams, which are part of the new teacher recruitment structure of the Turkish Ministry of National Education, hold special importance for university graduates seeking to join the public teaching staff.

According to this announcement, candidates in various cities, including Tokat and other provincial centers, can now access the Candidate Internet System to learn the exact details of their location on exam day [2].

How to Obtain the Entry Document from the AIS System

To view the exam location and print the entry document, candidates must visit the official ÖSYM AIS system. The steps to obtain the document are as follows:

1. Visit the web address ais.osym.gov.tr.
2. Enter the Republic of Turkey Identification Number (T.C. Kimlik Numarası).
3. Enter the candidate's personal password.

After logging into the user panel, candidates can select the 2026 AGS or ÖABT exam document from the "My Transactions" section and obtain the final printout [1][3]. It is emphasized that candidates must have a printed copy of the document on exam day; digital images on mobile phones will not be accepted.

Strict Rules and Exam Day Warnings

ÖSYM has once again emphasized the "15-minute rule." According to this rule, the doors of the exam centers will be closed 15 minutes before the official start of the exam, and candidates will not be allowed entry under any circumstances after that time [2].

In addition to the entry document, it is mandatory to carry an original smart ID card or a valid passport. Candidates must avoid bringing any electronic devices, smartwatches, jewelry, or metal objects, as physical searches at the entrances are conducted with high precision [3].

Importance of the AGS Exam in the New Educational System

The AGS exam, known as the "Academy Entrance Exam," is the gateway to intensive internship and training courses designed by the Turkish Ministry of National Education. Alongside the ÖABT, this exam measures the scientific knowledge and analytical abilities of teaching applicants. The timely announcement of exam locations gives candidates the opportunity to plan for potential intercity travel and accommodation near the exam centers [1].
