2026 KPSS Mid-Level Exam Applications Open in Turkey

The application period for the 2026 KPSS Mid-Level exam, crucial for public sector employment in Turkey, has begun. Aspiring candidates can submit their applications between August 27 and September 8, with a grace period for late submissions from September 15 to 16.

ÖSYM, the Student Selection and Placement Center, has outlined the application process, which can be completed through its official website (ais.osym.gov.tr), the ÖSYM Application Centers, or the ÖSYM Candidate Operations mobile application. Applicants will need their Turkish ID number and password to access the system and complete their personal and educational information.

Detailed eligibility requirements are provided in the 2026-KPSS Mid-Level Application Guide. Key criteria include Turkish citizenship, being at least 18 years old (with exceptions for vocational school graduates), not being deprived of public rights, and not having specific criminal convictions. Candidates must also meet military service requirements and be free from mental health conditions that would prevent them from performing their duties. Additional specific requirements may apply depending on the position being sought.

The application fee for the 2026 KPSS Mid-Level exam has been set at 800 Turkish Lira. The exam dates are also detailed in ÖSYM's 2026 calendar, though the specific date of the exam itself is not provided in this announcement.
