The results of the Examination for Higher Education Institutions (YKS), which millions of students are waiting for, were announced yesterday. After the exam results, the students' selection marathon will start on July 27. After the selection marathon, the candidates who will be prepared to enroll in the schools they have won, are likely to face the problem of accommodation.
AN INCREASE IS EXPECTED IN THE NUMBER OF QUOTAS
After the university exam results, which were announced earlier than the expected date, the candidate students started to get excited about the selection. The quota numbers of the universities regarding the preferences are expected to be announced within the week. In YKS, which has reached a record number with the registration of 3,243,425 candidates compared to previous years, now eyes are on the quota figures to be announced. While it was on the agenda that the quotas were left empty in the past years, this year, with the record participation, it is expected that the quota will be increased so that the candidate students are not left out. 2,600,000 candidate students participated to YKS held in 2021. Despite this, the quotas announced by Higher Education Institution (YÖK) were 858,116. Again in 2021, only 688,727 students out of over 2,500,000 candidates who took the exam had the chance to enter any school.
EXAM APPLICATIONS ARE 3,000,000 AND THERE IS 771,000 CAPACITY IN DORMITORIES
Despite the increase in the number of students, the accommodation problem has been frequently brought to the agenda in recent years, and this year, after YKS, where a record number of candidate students participated, eyes were turned to Credit and Dormitories Institution (KYK) dormitories. According to the information received from the Credit and Dormitories Institution, which will be one of the problems that will be faced by students who will start university life this year, it was stated that there are 776 dormitories in Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), while the capacity of these dormitories is 771,174. With the record application, students have already started to think about accommodation.
