Who Can Apply for the 2020 DGS?
Who can apply for the 2020 DGS? As each year, the Dikey Geçiş Sınavı is organized by ÖSYM. Candidates seeking vertical transfer to bachelor’s programs must be graduates of vocational higher schools or open education associate degree programs. Candidates who are in their graduation year and have met all requirements except for internship duties may also apply.
Additionally, final-year students and graduates from vocational higher schools in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus who meet the same conditions, as well as graduates from abroad whose diplomas are accepted with an equivalency certificate, are eligible to apply for the DGS.
