Turkey University Entrance Exam (YKS) 2026 Results Date Announced

Official Announcement Date for YKS 2026 Results According to the 2026 exam calendar published by the Measurement, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM), the Higher Education Institutions Examination (YKS) results will be officially announced on July 22, 2026 [1]. This exam, held on June 20 and 21, consisted of three main stages: the Basic Proficiency Test (TYT), the Field Proficiency Test (AYT), and the Foreign Language Test (YDT).

Although the official date is July 22, past experience shows that if the optical answer sheet evaluation and data control processes are completed early, results may be announced one or two days before the scheduled date [3]. However, candidates should remain patient until the official announcement is posted on the ÖSYM website.

How to View Results on the ÖSYM System Candidates do not need to receive a physical document to access their scores, as ÖSYM does not send any report cards by mail. To view the results, candidates must follow these steps [2]:

1. Visit the official results system at sonuc.osym.gov.tr.
2. Enter the Turkish Identification Number (T.C. Kimlik Numarası).
3. Enter the candidate's personal password (Aday Şifresi).

Access is also available through the e-Devlet gateway. The results page will display raw scores, scaled scores, and most importantly, the Success Ranking (Başarı Sıralaması) for each test group.

Report Card Details and Exam Scores The YKS 2026 report card includes comprehensive academic information. In addition to the scores obtained in various subjects, the high school grade point average (OBP) is also included in the final score calculation [1]. TYT scores are used for selecting associate degree programs (2 years), while AYT and YDT scores are the criteria for entering undergraduate programs (4 years) and higher. Candidates should note that for selection in both state and private universities in Turkey, the national ranking and success ranking are much more important than the raw score.

Start of the Selection Process (Tercih) Immediately after the results are announced on July 22, the selection guide and university capacities for the 2026-2027 academic year will be published [3]. The selection process is expected to begin in the last week of July and continue until early August. Experts recommend that candidates register their priority lists in the AIS system during this period by carefully examining the thresholds and rankings of previous years. Final university placement results are usually announced in mid-August to allow students enough time for final registration and dormitory arrangements.
