A quick answer on DGS additional placement
2026-DGS additional-placement preferences opened at 14:30 on October 15 and, according to ÖSYM, close at 23:59 on October 22, 2026. Candidates submit preferences online through their own AİS account using their Turkish identity number and candidate password. With the deadline near, begin with the official additional-placement notice and tables rather than a reposted list.
Additional placement is a separate preference process for places left vacant or not registered. Seeing a programme name does not mean that it matches your associate-degree field or that every condition is met. Before opening the form, read the official tables alongside your score, graduation field and intended bachelor’s programme.
What should be checked before building the list?
ÖSYM asks candidates to examine the general information and tables for additional placement carefully. Download the 2026 DGS preference information and tables and read the programme code, university, mode of study and conditions-and-explanations columns separately. Choosing from a programme name alone can miss decision-changing details such as preparatory study, campus, language of instruction or a special condition.
Check the programme code and name together
The code entered on the preference screen determines the selection. Compare each code with its programme name again. Identically named programmes can sit at different universities, have different modes of study or carry different conditions. A personal note with separate columns for code, university, city and explanation can reduce the risk of moving to the wrong line during a final check.
Why do conditions and the graduation field matter?
DGS placement is not only a matter of preference order. The principles in ÖSYM’s guide and the explanations in the tables are the sources to use when checking which associate-degree fields can progress to which bachelor’s programmes. Older matching lists shared online may not reflect this year’s conditions; base the decision on the 2026 document.
Do not turn uncertainty into an assumption
If the wording of a special condition is unclear for your situation, do not interpret it as probable eligibility. The official contact route in the guide or the relevant higher-education institution is the appropriate place to verify it. A graduation document, course record or another document may matter later, so asking what is required before choosing is safer than resolving it under pressure after placement.
How should preference order be approached?
Your order should reflect programmes you would genuinely be willing to study. Placing an unwanted option above another only for a perceived chance can become a difficult choice when results arrive. First note the academic content, language of instruction, city, transport and cost against your own priorities. Then balance genuine preference with a realistic reading of the available choices.
Quota figures, previous-year scores and comments from others can give context, but none is a placement guarantee. The structure of additional placement can differ. Treat posts presenting past data as a definite outcome with care. Your current score, the official conditions and options you would accept form a more reliable basis for a decision.
What should be checked in AİS?
Once the list is ready, enter AİS through a secure connection and begin the additional-preference process in your own account. As codes are entered, read the matching line on screen again. If contact or personal details need updating, use only the route allowed by the screen and guide. Someone else’s screenshot cannot confirm your own record.
ÖSYM states that preference transactions end at 23:59 on October 22. Do not leave the task to the last minutes: traffic, connectivity or one final correction need time. After completing the list, check the transaction status on your screen. If a fee or payment step applies, use only the ÖSYM card payment system and the information shown on the current official screen.
Final check before submission
Use this final order: see the date and time in the notice again; open the table; match every code to its programme name; read conditions and explanations; assess whether the order reflects choices you would accept; then confirm the status in AİS. The review takes only a few minutes and can help catch a wrong code or an overlooked condition.
This guide relies on ÖSYM’s October 15 notice and the 2026 DGS preference documents. If ÖSYM publishes a new notice or AİS shows updated information, the newer official information takes priority. Completing a preference transaction is different from deciding whether a programme suits your personal aims; both deserve the same care.
Research the university and city separately
The table is the core source for preference, but it is not the only input to a decision. Before listing a bachelor’s programme, use the university’s official pages to review its curriculum, campus location, any compulsory preparatory study and academic calendar. A familiar programme name can still involve a different study structure, course scope or city context than you expect.
If another city is involved, make a realistic preliminary check of housing, transport and budget. This research does not change the placement rule, but it helps you rank options you would understand and accept. Official university pages, student-affairs offices and published academic information are stronger starting points than anonymous comments.
Why keep a record of the preference?
After completion, note the preference status and date shown in AİS for your own record. This makes it easier to track when the list was confirmed. Continue following ÖSYM notices for results, documents and later announcements; an old screenshot is not a substitute for current information in a subsequent process.
Do not share your account password and close the session on shared devices. Preference submission is a personal application. A secure connection, the correct official address and confirmation of status on your own screen are small but important protections when you are completing a transaction near a deadline.
