Urgent Update to ÖSYM Rankings; New Announcement for 2026 Candidates

Details of the 2026 Ranking Updates

According to the latest announcement released by the Assessment, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM), candidate rankings for the 2026 national exams, particularly the Field-Based Rankings (Branş Bazında Sıralamalar), have been updated. This action, finalized on July 4, 2026, was taken to provide a more accurate picture of the candidates' positions among their peers in the same field [1].

These updates are typically performed after the final review of appeals and the precise aggregation of raw scores and academic records. Candidates can now view their exact rankings by visiting the official system, which will serve as the primary criteria for university selection in Turkey.

How to Access New Rankings in the AIS System

To view their updated rankings, candidates must visit the Candidate Transactions System (AIS) at ais.osym.gov.tr. After logging in with their T.C. Kimlik Numarası and personal password, the "Field-Based Ranking" section will be accessible [3].

ÖSYM officials have emphasized that candidates must rely on the new version of the rankings, as minor changes in rank can seriously alter the chances of admission to popular departments. Reports from sources such as "Niğde Anadolu Haber" indicate that the system is currently optimized to handle the high volume of inquiries [1].

Importance of This Update for University Selection

As the university selection process (Tercih Süreci) in Turkey is set to begin soon, these new rankings help candidates make more realistic decisions. Field-based ranking shows a candidate's position among all individuals who graduated from a specific field, which differs from the overall rank in general quotas [2].

Educational experts recommend that candidates compare their ranking changes with data from previous years before finalizing their selection lists. This update has created more transparency in the intense competition for engineering, medicine, and humanities. According to ÖSYM, no other changes have been applied to raw scores, and only the relative positions of candidates have been revised [2].
