Turkey 2026 University Entrance Exam (YKS) Result Date Announced; Guide to Viewing Scorecards

Today, July 20, 2026, excitement among candidates seeking entry into Turkish universities has reached its peak. The national YKS exam, held on June 20 and 21, is now in the final stages of grading and result preparation. Based on official statements released by the Turkish Assessment, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM), the exact date for the release of scorecards has been determined [1].

Exact Time of YKS 2026 Results Announcement According to the 2026 exam calendar published by ÖSYM, the results of the YKS exam (including the TYT, AYT, and YDT stages) will be officially announced on Wednesday, July 22, 2026 [2]. Although in previous years results were sometimes released a day or two earlier than scheduled, as of today (July 20), the results system has not yet been activated, and candidates must wait according to the announced schedule [3]. It is expected that, as per tradition, results will be posted on the website in the early morning hours (between 7:00 and 10:00 Turkey time).

How to View Results on the ÖSYM System To access their scores and rankings, candidates must visit the official results portal of the Turkish Assessment Center. The steps to view the scorecard are as follows: 1. Visit the web address sonuc.osym.gov.tr. 2. Click on the option related to the YKS 2026 exam results. 3. Enter the National Identification Number (T.C. Kimlik Numarası) and the Candidate Password (Aday Şifresi) [1]. Candidates can also access their results directly through the electronic government portal (e-Devlet). It should be noted that no physical or written scorecards will be sent to candidates' addresses, and the digital version on the aforementioned site is the only official document [3].

Scorecard Details and Rankings The published scorecard includes vital information for the university selection process. This information consists of raw scores for each subject, scaled scores, the candidate's rank in various quotas, and the Grade Point Average Impact (OBP) score [2]. Candidates should note that to select programs at the associate and undergraduate levels, achieving the minimum threshold scores set in the TYT and AYT exams is mandatory.

Start of the Selection Process (Tercih) Immediately after the results are announced on July 22, the selection guide and university capacities will be published. It is predicted that the selection process will begin in the last week of July and continue until early August [1]. Educational experts recommend that candidates use this two-day interval until the results are announced to review their list of preferred programs based on last year's rankings to act with full preparation during the selection period.
