The highly anticipated 2025 Higher Education Institutions Exam (YKS) Preference Guide was officially released on July 30, 2025, by the Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) via its official website. With the publication of the guide, the university placement process has officially begun for millions of prospective students.
To support candidates who want to explore universities more closely during the preference period, Istanbul Gelişim University is welcoming students to its campus with special preference consultation zones. These zones offer candidates the opportunity to meet one-on-one with expert academics and professional counselors, explore faculties and laboratories, and gain valuable insights to help shape their future career paths. IGU invites all prospective students to visit its campus, offering not only expert guidance during the preference process but also exclusive scholarship opportunities for attendees.
Candidates will be able to submit their preferences individually through ÖSYM’s Candidate Procedures System (AİS) between August 1–13, 2025, using their Turkish ID numbers and passwords. The Higher Education Programs and Quotas Guide, accessible throughout the preference period, includes information on quotas, special conditions, scholarship opportunities, and program details for both public and foundation universities at undergraduate and associate levels.
Expert advisors emphasize that students should not only consider their scores and rankings, but also evaluate universities based on academic staff, campus facilities, international partnerships, and graduate employment rates.
With internationally accredited programs, a strong academic staff, over 150 fully equipped laboratories, 22 research centers, and 76 student clubs, Istanbul Gelisim University offers more than just education—it offers vision and a future. For candidates who want to make a strong start to their careers during the 2025 YKS preference period, IGU stands out as a distinctive and forward-looking choice.
