Türkiye’s Ministry of National Education released the first transfer results under the High School Transition System, known as LGS, on August 10, 2026. The second transfer preference period opened on the same day. According to the ministry’s timetable, students can submit second-round preferences from August 10 through August 12, and the results will be announced on August 14. This stage follows the initial placement and the first transfer round in the August high-school placement process.

Dates confirmed for the second transfer round

The second transfer application window covers three calendar days: August 10, 11 and 12. After applications close, the results are scheduled for August 14. The ministry describes these dates specifically as the application and result timetable for the second transfer round. Anadolu Agency, reporting from the ministry’s written statement, published the same dates.

The first transfer round accepted preferences from August 5 through August 7 and released its results on August 10. Because the second round opened on the same day, the two stages follow one another directly. Students can first view the outcome of their first transfer request and then use the official system during the second-round window. Results and preference procedures are provided through the ministry’s official channels and the e-School platform.

What happens after August 14?

A separate commission stage is available for students who remain without a placement after the second transfer result. The ministry and Anadolu Agency state that applications for remaining vacancies will be accepted by provincial and district student placement and transfer commissions from August 17 through August 26. The placement process is scheduled to be completed on August 28.

The official sequence treats the second transfer round and commission placement as separate stages. Second-round preferences close on August 12, and their result arrives on August 14. Commission applications then open on August 17. The August 14 result therefore determines whether an unplaced student needs to proceed to the later commission process described in the ministry’s timetable.

Which information is confirmed?

The confirmed points are limited and clear: first transfer results were released on August 10; second transfer preferences are accepted August 10–12; second transfer results are due August 14; and students who remain without a school can apply to the relevant provincial or district commission from August 17–26. The ministry also says that commission placement will be completed on August 28.

This report is restricted to the timetable explicitly visible in the ministry announcement and current independent coverage. National occupancy ratios and school-level vacancy totals were not included because the live source pages used for verification did not expose those figures. Capacity for a particular school and an individual student’s result should be read from the current information shown in the official system during the relevant stage.

Where applicants can follow the process

The first transfer results were published through the ministry’s official channels. Students should also use the ministry and e-School screens for the second transfer preference and result process. Dates or screenshots circulating on social media should not replace the official calendar. When the second transfer result is released on August 14, students will be able to check their placement status through the official query interface. For those still without a placement, the next application period starts on August 17 and continues through August 26.
