Countdown to Turkey's YKS 2026 Results; Exact Date Announced

Today is July 12, 2026, and excitement among Turkish exam candidates has reached its peak. Following the successful administration of the TYT, AYT, and YDT exams on June 20 and 21, all eyes are now on the official calendar of the Assessment, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM). According to the latest announcements, the process of grading answer sheets and final evaluation is in its final stages [1].

Exact Date of YKS 2026 Results Based on the official calendar published by ÖSYM, the results of the Higher Education Institutions Exam (YKS) will be officially announced on July 22, 2026 [2]. Although in previous years results were sometimes released a few days earlier than scheduled, no official statement regarding a date change or early announcement has been issued so far. Candidates should be ready to access the system from the early hours of July 22 [1].

How to View Results and Ranking Details Candidates can view their final results by visiting the official results website at sonuc.osym.gov.tr using their T.C. ID Number (T.C. Kimlik Numarası) and their private password [2]. The result document will include raw scores, scaled scores, rankings across various categories, and the final score effective for university preferences. It should be noted that no physical or written result documents will be sent to candidates' addresses; only the electronic version on the system is valid [3].

Corrections to Answer Keys and Canceled Questions In a statement released in early July, ÖSYM announced that following scientific reviews and received objections, changes have been made to the answer keys of some questions. Specifically, in the AYT Mathematics booklet, the answer to question number 23 was changed from option "C" to "A". Additionally, question number 20 in the Literature and Social Sciences-1 section was canceled due to scientific errors [3]. These corrections have been applied to the final score calculations for all candidates to ensure educational fairness.

Next Step: University Preferences and Admission Immediately after the results are announced on July 22, the Preference Guide (Tercih Kılavuzu) will be published. Based on the rankings and scores obtained in the TYT (Basic) and AYT (Specialized) exams, candidates will be able to register their list of preferred programs in the system. Educational experts recommend that during this ten-day period leading up to the results, candidates research university capacities and admission requirements for various fields to be fully prepared for the preference period [1].
