The waiting game is officially over. As of today, December 19, 2025, the results for the 2025 Higher Education Institutions Examination (YKS) preference placement process have been announced by the Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM). This article provides a comprehensive, up-to-date guide on the immediate next steps, crucial deadlines you may have missed, and a deep dive into the latest university placement trends for the 2025 academic year.

The announcement on August 25, 2025, marked the end of the initial placement phase for millions of university candidates in Turkey. Whether you secured a spot in your dream program or are now preparing for the Supplementary Placement period, understanding the official timeline and procedures is paramount to securing your future at a higher education institution.

The Official 2025 YKS Placement Timeline and Key Dates

The YKS process, managed by ÖSYM, is a multi-stage procedure that begins with the exam and concludes with student registration. For the 2025 cycle, the official timeline has been strictly followed, with the core placement activities now complete.

  • YKS 2025 Preference Period: The window for candidates to submit their university preferences was held between August 1 and August 13, 2025.
  • Initial Placement Results Announcement: The highly anticipated results for the 2025-YKS placement were officially announced by ÖSYM on August 25, 2025. Candidates were able to check their results on the official ÖSYM result page (ykssonuc.osym.gov.tr) using their T.C. Identity Number and candidate password.
  • Initial University Registration: Students who successfully secured a place in a program during the main placement period had two options for registration:
    • Electronic Registration (e-Devlet): This process took place from September 1 to September 3, 2025.
    • In-Person Registration: Students who chose not to use the e-Devlet system or who needed to complete their registration personally had to register at their respective universities between September 1 and September 5, 2025.

If you were placed in a program, it is essential to confirm that your registration was completed within these deadlines. Failure to register by the specified date means you forfeited your right to enroll in that program.

5 Critical Steps After the YKS Placement Announcement

The announcement of the YKS results is just the first step. The following five steps are crucial for all candidates, whether they were placed or not, to finalize their university entrance process for the 2025-2026 academic year.

1. Check Your Placement Status and Registration Confirmation

For those who were placed, the most immediate and vital step was to complete the registration process. You must confirm that your electronic or in-person registration with the university was successful. If you missed the September 5, 2025 deadline, you are no longer enrolled in that program, and your focus should shift to the Supplementary Placement process.

2. Prepare for the Supplementary Placement (Ek Yerleştirme)

The Supplementary Placement, or Ek Yerleştirme, is a second chance for candidates who did not place in the initial round, or for those who were placed but did not register. This period is for filling the remaining vacant quotas in higher education programs.

  • Ek Yerleştirme Preference Dates: The preference period for the 2025-YKS Supplementary Placement was held from September 25 to September 30, 2025.
  • Application Requirements: To be eligible for Ek Yerleştirme, candidates must have received a valid YKS score but must not have been placed in any program in the initial round, or they must have been placed but failed to register.
  • Placement Fee: A fee was required to be paid for the Ek Yerleştirme process, with the final payment deadline set for October 1, 2025.

Note: Since today is December 19, 2025, the Supplementary Placement results have also been announced (typically in early October), and the registration for this round is now complete. For the 2025 cycle, the Ek Yerleştirme results were announced on October 6, 2025.

3. Analyze the 2025 Base Scores (Taban Puanları) and Success Rankings

The 2025 YKS placement results offer invaluable data for future candidates. ÖSYM publishes detailed numerical information, including the lowest and highest scores (En Küçük ve En Büyük Puanlar) for every program. Analyzing the changes in base scores (Taban Puanları) and success rankings (Başarı Sıralamaları) compared to the 2024 YKS cycle can reveal important trends in student demand and the difficulty of the 2025 exam.

4. Review the Most Preferred Departments (YKS 2025 Trends)

The 2025 placement data highlights strong and consistent interest in certain fields, particularly in high-demand, high-income sectors. The most preferred departments often reflect current economic and technological trends.

Top Preferred Numerical (Sayısal) Departments:

  • Medicine (Tıp Fakültesi)
  • Dentistry (Diş Hekimliği)
  • Pharmacy (Eczacılık)
  • Computer Engineering (Bilgisayar Mühendisliği)
  • Electrical and Electronics Engineering (Elektrik-Elektronik Mühendisliği)
  • Nursing (Hemşirelik)
  • Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation (Fizyoterapi ve Rehabilitasyon)

Top Preferred Equal Weight (Eşit Ağırlık) Departments:

  • Law (Hukuk)
  • Psychology (Psikoloji)
  • Business Administration (İşletme)
  • Economics (İktisat / Ekonomi)
  • Guidance and Psychological Counseling (Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık)
  • International Relations (Uluslararası İlişkiler)
  • Political Science and Public Administration (Siyaset Bilimi ve Kamu Yönetimi)

These trends demonstrate a continued focus on health sciences, engineering, and established social sciences like Law and Psychology.

5. Prepare for the Next Academic Year (2025-2026)

For all successfully registered students, the next step is to prepare for the start of the 2025-2026 academic year. Universities across Turkey generally begin their fall semesters in late September. For example, some universities announced the start of the 2025-2026 academic year's Fall Semester to be around September 29, 2025. Successfully placed candidates should contact their specific university's student affairs office (Öğrenci İşleri) for the exact orientation and class start dates, as well as information on dormitories (yurtlar) and scholarship applications (burs başvuruları).

Frequently Asked Questions (YKS 2025)

Can I still check my 2025 YKS placement result?

Yes. The results remain accessible on the official ÖSYM result page (ykssonuc.osym.gov.tr). You can log in at any time using your T.C. Identity Number and candidate password to view your initial placement status and detailed scores.

What if I was placed but didn't register?

If you were placed in the main round but failed to register by the final deadline (September 5, 2025), you forfeited your right to enroll in that program. You were then eligible to apply for the Supplementary Placement (Ek Yerleştirme) period, which has also concluded (September 25-30, 2025). Your only remaining option for the 2025-2026 academic year would be to explore options outside the central ÖSYM system, such as distance learning programs (Açıköğretim) or to prepare for the 2026 YKS examination.

What is the status of the 2025 YKS Ek Yerleştirme (Supplementary Placement) results?

The Ek Yerleştirme results were announced on October 6, 2025. The registration process for students placed in the supplementary round is now complete.
