Prof. Dr. Bayram Ali Ersoy, President of the Measurement, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM), "After the comprehensive evaluations, both the KPSS sessions held on 31 July 2022 were canceled and the sessions to be held on 6-7 August 2022 and 14 August 2022 were postponed," he said.
Ersoy, who was appointed as the President of ÖSYM with the decision published in the Official Gazette with the signature of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, started his duty.
Stating that ÖSYM serves an average of 10 million candidates every year with approximately 50 different exams, especially the higher education institutions exam, Ersoy reminded that the studies on the provision and placement of personnel of many public institutions under the most fair conditions are also carried out by ÖSYM.
“ÖSYM HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE TARGET OF ATTACKS”
Emphasizing that excluding ÖSYM, which provides the most comprehensive service in the world and is the most respected institution in its field, from any discussion, President Ersoy continued as follows:
"Of course, it is not possible for such a critical institution not to be the target of attacks. As a matter of fact, since the past, this distinguished institution has been tried to be placed at the center of discussions with various claims. To date, all of the allegations related to the scope of duty of ÖSYM have been investigated administratively and judicially, and necessary actions have been taken against those responsible. As it is known, such a situation was encountered after the General Ability-General Culture sessions of the Public Personnel Selection Exam held on Sunday, July 31, 2022. According to the results of the first examination, it was determined that some of the questions asked to the candidates in this exam were included in the question booklets of a publishing house. First of all, it is never possible for such a picture to be accepted in terms of our institution's working principles, law and public conscience."
“NEW KPSS CALENDAR WILL START ON 17 SEPTEMBER”
ÖSYM President Ersoy in his statement, "After the comprehensive evaluations, both the KPSS sessions held on 31 July 2022 were canceled and the sessions planned to be held on 6-7 August and 14 August 2022 were postponed. The new calendar for canceled and postponed exams will be shared with the public as soon as possible. The new KPSS calendar will start on 17 September. KPSS candidates whose exam has been canceled will not be charged any additional fees for the new exam they will take. Our aim is to provide an exam environment where all candidates can participate with peace of mind and be sure of the fairness of the result. We are determined to strengthen the place of ÖSYM in the heart of our nation by openly sharing the deficiencies and disruptions with the public and taking the necessary measures effectively. We apologize to all candidates for this unfortunate process, which caused cancellations and postponements in a way we never wanted," he added.
