Nutrition package and new implementations
For the first time this year, students who wish will be given a nutrition package during the break between the two sessions. The packages include a dried fruit oat bar, walnuts, raisins, and water.
Minister Yusuf Tekin stated that this practice aims to reduce students' exam anxiety. He also announced that after the results, an AI-supported preference robot will be offered to students.
This system will allow students to electronically review the physical facilities of the schools they wish to choose. The Ministry will also activate digital support during the preference process.
Increased security measures
Live camera recordings will be made in exam buildings this year. Minister Tekin said that recordings will be kept from the security checks at the entrance, through the distribution of exam materials in the teachers' room, and throughout the exam, and these images will also be monitored by the ministry.
The distribution of exam materials, building entrances, and critical points will be monitored by camera systems. In some rooms, a pilot camera system will be used.
More than 29,000 personnel on duty
Interior Minister Mustafa Çiftçi announced that 29,103 personnel and 4,028 teams are on duty nationwide for the LGS. The police force is deployed in 81 provinces with 26,468 personnel and 3,338 teams.
In the gendarmerie region, 2,635 personnel and 690 vehicles are assigned across 18 exam centers in 14 provinces. Çiftçi also stated that activities that could distract students around schools and buildings will not be allowed.
For students who lost their ID cards, population directorates in provinces and districts with exam centers remained open until noon. LGS results will be announced on July 10, 2026, at meb.gov.tr, and result documents will not be sent by mail.
Following the announcement of results, the high school preference and placement process will begin.
