Documents concerning the 2026 DGS preference process have been made available through ÖSYM’s official document platform. Before making a choice, candidates should consider the preference guide, the table of undergraduate programs available through central placement, and the eligibility requirements connected to their associate degree field.
What happened?
ÖSYM published a document for the 2026 DGS preference process and a table listing undergraduate programs available through vertical transfer by central placement. These documents are intended to help candidates understand which programs may be included in their preference lists and which conditions must be considered.
Preference dates, application steps, and special requirements should be verified through ÖSYM’s current announcements and the official preference guide. Candidates should not rely on dates or conditions that are not stated in an official document.
Practical suggestions for students
- Read the guide first: Check score type, quotas, special conditions, and registration requirements before opening the preference screen.
- Review the central placement table: Compare eligible undergraduate programs with your associate degree field.
- Look beyond program names: Programs with similar names may have different requirements and academic outcomes.
- Create a balanced list: Include realistic alternatives alongside programs that are more difficult to secure.
- Confirm the submission: After completing the process, verify that your preferences were saved correctly in the candidate system.
Preference checklist
- Have you downloaded the current DGS preference guide?
- Have you checked the compatibility between your associate degree field and the undergraduate programs?
- Have you read the special conditions for each program?
- Does your ranking reflect your academic and career goals?
- Have you completed a final review through ÖSYM’s candidate system?
Conclusion
The most reliable approach to the 2026 DGS preference process is to follow ÖSYM’s current announcements and official documents together. Candidates should prepare their lists by comparing eligibility, goals, quotas, and special conditions rather than making rushed decisions. When a point is unclear, the relevant section of the official guide should be reviewed again.
