The announcement of the results of the 2026 Higher Education Institutions Exam (YKS), in which 2 million 255 thousand candidates participated across Turkey, has made us proud of the achievements of our students. Out of 145 students who stayed in our secondary education dormitories and benefited from our scholarship programs, 100 of them achieved a total of 186 top rankings in Turkey in the Numerical, Verbal, Equal Weight, and Language score types, with 43 of them placing in the top 10,000.

In this success, the determined efforts of our students, the support of their families, the dedication of their teachers, and the academic contributions of the schools they attended played a significant role; we also continued to accompany their educational journeys with the support we provide in accommodation, guidance, and personal development.

Fifth Place in Turkey from Kartal

Hanne Hifa Akkuş, a student from Kartal Anadolu Imam Hatip High School and residing in our Kartal Hayriye Cemal Gülbaran Secondary Education Dormitory, succeeded in becoming the only student to enter the top 100 in two different score types, ranking 5th in Turkey in the Verbal score type and 12th in the Equal Weight score type.

"Educating People is a Matter of Future"

Our Board Chair, Attorney Hatice Akıncı Yılmaz, made the following statements while evaluating the YKS 2026 results:

"Educating people is a matter of future. We do not measure success solely by exam rankings. Our true joy is that our young girls, who will shoulder the future of our country, are being raised with a commitment to national and spiritual values, carrying their knowledge with ethics and a sense of responsibility.

This success is the result of the efforts of our students, the support of our families, the sacrifices of our teachers, and the collective effort of our educational institutions. We also see it as a great joy to have been able to accompany our young girls on their educational journeys as TÜRGEV.

I wholeheartedly congratulate all our students, whether they ranked or not, as well as their families and teachers; I wish for their success in their educational lives to continue to increase."
