Applications open on August 11 for the second 2026 Legal Professions Entrance Examination and the 2026 Administrative Judiciary Preliminary Examination in Türkiye. According to the current examination calendar published by ÖSYM, the regular application window for both tests runs through August 19, 2026. Both examinations are scheduled for September 27, 2026. The dates also match the examination notice previously issued by Türkiye's Ministry of Justice.
How the application calendar works
ÖSYM's calendar lists August 11-19 as the regular application period for both 2026-HMGS/2 and 2026-İYÖS. A separate late-application day is scheduled for August 26, 2026. The examination cards displayed on ÖSYM's current homepage show the same dates. Candidates should review the relevant application guide and official ÖSYM notices before submitting any information or payment.
The Ministry of Justice notice dated April 26, 2026 says applications can be made through ÖSYM's Candidate Transactions System, its mobile application or an authorized application center. The notice also says applicants complete the process by paying the examination fee. Current instructions displayed by ÖSYM and the final application guides remain the controlling sources for payment methods and procedural details.
Test date and late applications
Both examinations are planned for September 27, 2026. A July 31 report by Anadolu Agency independently records the same regular application window and the August 26 late-application date. ÖSYM's calendar currently lists October 22, 2026 as the result date. Candidates should continue checking official channels in case the institution announces a change to any part of the timetable.
HMGS and İYÖS share an application period, but they are separate examinations. Applicants therefore need to select the test that matches their education and professional circumstances and examine each guide independently. Before completing the process, they should check the examination name, identity details, education information, examination-center choice and payment status shown in the application system.
What the official sources confirm
As displayed on August 11, ÖSYM's calendar gives August 11 as the opening date, August 19 as the regular closing date, August 26 as the late-application day and September 27 as the examination date for HMGS/2 and İYÖS. The Justice Ministry notice confirms the same application period and describes the available application channels. Anadolu Agency provides a separate news record based on the ministry's announcement.
The main practical distinction is between the regular window and the dedicated late-application day. August 19 is the final day of the normal period, while August 26 is listed separately for late applications. Fees, documentary requirements and eligibility details may vary under the guides, so applicants should rely on the official ÖSYM documents rather than summaries circulating on social media.
Checks to make before applying
Candidates can review the contact and education information in their AİS account, check whether the photograph stored in the system remains valid and verify that the payment is recorded after completing the process. Those using an application center should check its working hours in advance. Applicants using the website or mobile application can review the final confirmation screen to ensure the transaction has been completed.
This report summarizes the published timetable and does not offer a preparation method or any guarantee of eligibility or success. ÖSYM's HMGS/2 and İYÖS guides will govern the application conditions, fees, examination scope and rules. If a new announcement is issued, candidates should follow the newest official text.
