Evaluation:

Applications are evaluated by the commission established within our University.

Applications of candidates who do not meet the application requirements will not be considered.

The applications of the candidates are evaluated by the commission and finalized as “accepted” or “rejected”.

The scores/grades of the candidates whose applications are accepted are converted to the 100 system according to the formula below and the score based on placement is determined.

a= (100 – 50) / (USmax – USmin)

b= 100 – (a x USmax)

YEP= b + (a x ÖSP)

USmax: The highest score of the international exam/diploma or TR-YÖS

USmin: 50% of the highest score of the international exam or TR-YÖS, the lowest passing grade of the diploma or high school graduation exam

ÖSP: Student’s international exam/diploma or TR-YÖS score

YEP: Placement test/diploma score

The evaluation list of the candidates whose applications are accepted is formed by ranking their scores based on placement from the highest to the lowest.

Placement:

Meeting the application requirements does not give the right to be placed in the program. In the placement process of candidates, the high score, order of preference and the number of candidates of the same nationality admitted to a program are taken into consideration. The number of candidates who have the right to enroll from the same nationality cannot exceed 20% of the total quota of the relevant program.

If the scores of the candidates are equal, the order of preference is given first, and if the equality continues, the candidate with the younger age is given priority.

Candidates who are placed in our university can get a “Placement Result Certificate” from https://ogrbasvuru.deu.edu.tr/Yos/dogrulama_index.php. This document replaces the “Letter of Acceptance” and can be verified at https://ogrbasvuru.deu.edu.tr/Yos/dogrulama_index.php with a verification code. Candidates can obtain a visa by going to the Turkish Embassy in their country with this document.

Note: Equivalency Certificate for high school education is not required from the applicants for the application and Equivalency Certificate is one of the documents required for final registration. The Ministry of National Education of the Republic of Türkiye has the sole discretion to issue the Equivalency Certificate in Türkiye. Diploma equivalence procedures take a very long time due to the high number of people in provincial and district Directorates of National Education. Therefore, candidates are advised to obtain their diploma equivalence certificates from the Turkish Embassy or Turkish Consulate in their country.
