ÖSYM Announces DGS 2026 Results; Complete Guide for Candidates

Today, July 16, 2026, ÖSYM ended the wait for thousands of DGS candidates by releasing an official statement. The Vertical Transfer Exam (DGS), designed for associate degree graduates to enter undergraduate programs, is considered one of the most vital educational stages in the Turkish education system [1]. According to the new announcement, all answer sheet evaluation processes have been completed, and the results have been posted on the organization's official system.

How to View Results and Access the Scorecard Candidates must visit the official ÖSYM results website to view their results. By entering their National Identification Number (T.C. Kimlik Numarası) and personal password, it is possible to access score details in different sections of the exam and the overall rank [2]. The organization emphasized that no physical scorecards will be sent to candidates, and the digital version available on the site is considered the official admission document. In case of any objection to the scores, candidates have the opportunity to submit their review requests through the e-Government portal according to the academic calendar.

Next Step: Preference Process and University Capacities With the announcement of the results, the main focus is now on the Preference Guide. It is expected that the exact list of capacities for Turkish state and private universities for DGS student admission will be published in the coming days [3]. Candidates must choose their priorities based on their rank and the compatibility of their associate degree field with the permitted undergraduate fields. Educational experts recommend that candidates definitely check the capacity changes in 2026 compared to previous years, as some fields have faced quota increases or decreases.

Importance of the DGS Exam in the Turkish Educational Path The DGS exam is a second opportunity for students who have completed two-year vocational and technical courses to obtain a bachelor's degree from prestigious Turkish universities. Given the intense competition in 2026, scores in the mathematics and logic sections played a decisive role in top rankings [1]. After the preference process, candidates must wait for the final placement results, usually announced in late August, to begin the registration process at their destination university.
