Turkey YKS 2026 Exam Entry Documents Released

Countdown Begins for Turkey's Largest University Entrance Exam

As the 2026 Higher Education Institutions Examination (YKS) approaches, ÖSYM has made the entry documents available to candidates today, Friday, June 12. This stage is one of the most critical moments for millions of students preparing for higher education. According to the official statement, all candidates can now log in to the AIS internet portal to see their exact exam locations and print the relevant document [1].

How to Obtain the Entry Document from the AIS System

To view their exam location, candidates must visit the Candidate Transaction System (AIS) at ais.osym.gov.tr. To log in, a Republic of Turkey Identification Number (T.C. Kimlik Numarası) and a private password are required. After entering the user panel, candidates should select the YKS 2026 option from the "Transactions" section to receive their entry document [2]. Due to high traffic in the initial hours, candidates are advised to try again at different times if they experience slowness.

YKS 2026 Exam Calendar

This year's YKS will be held in three separate sessions. According to the announced schedule:
- Basic Proficiency Test (TYT): To be held on June 20, 2026.
- Field Proficiency Test (AYT): To be held on the morning of June 21, 2026.
- Foreign Language Test (YDT): To be held on the afternoon of June 21, 2026 [3].

Candidates must note that the entry document for each session they registered for must be checked and printed separately. Failure to bring the physical document along with a valid ID will prevent the candidate from entering the exam hall.

Vital Tips for Exam Day

ÖSYM emphasized that candidates must be present at the exam center at least one hour before the start. Doors will close at 10:00 for morning sessions and at 15:30 for afternoon sessions, after which no entry will be allowed under any circumstances [1]. Additionally, bringing any electronic devices, smartwatches, or communication tools to the exam is prohibited. The entry document can be printed in black and white or color, but the photo on it must be perfectly clear and identifiable [2].
