Turkey University Entrance Exam (YKS) 2026 Result Date Announced

Official Date for YKS 2026 Results

According to the official calendar published by the Assessment, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM), the results of the Higher Education Institutions Exam (YKS) will be announced on July 22, 2026 [1]. This exam, held on June 20 and 21, 2026, in three sessions (TYT, AYT, and YDT), determines the academic future of more than 3 million candidates [2]. Although in previous years results were sometimes announced a day or two early, educational authorities emphasized that candidates should consider July 22 as the primary reference and ignore social media rumors [3].

How to View Results and Scorecard Details

Candidates do not need to apply in person to view their results, and no paper scorecards will be sent to them [2]. Results will be accessible entirely electronically through the ÖSYM result system at sonuc.osym.gov.tr and the organization's mobile application [3]. Candidates can log in using their National ID (T.C. Kimlik No) and private password to view the following details:
- Raw and scaled scores in each subject.
- National ranking and rankings in various quotas.
- Basic Proficiency Test (TYT) and Field Proficiency Tests (AYT/YDT) scores.
- The impact of high school GPA (OBP) on the final score [2].

Changes in Answer Keys and Cancelled Questions

ÖSYM announced in an official statement that after scientific reviews of objections by specialized committees, changes have been applied to the initial results [1]. According to this report, the answer to question number 23 in the Mathematics section of the Field Proficiency Test (AYT) has been changed from option "C" to "A". Additionally, question number 20 in the Turkish Language and Literature-Social Sciences-1 section has been cancelled due to a scientific error [1]. According to regulations, the points from cancelled questions will be distributed among the other correct questions in that section so that candidates' rights are not violated.

Start of the University Selection (Tercih) Process

Immediately after the results are announced on July 22, the selection guide will be published by ÖSYM. It is anticipated that the university selection process will begin in late July and continue until the first week of August 2026 [3]. Educational experts and reliable news sources such as Tıbbiye Bülteni recommend that candidates focus on their Success Ranking rather than just their score, as university capacities are filled based on ranking [2]. Furthermore, candidates for popular fields such as medicine must be aware of the minimum ranking thresholds set by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) for 2026.
