After some questions shared on social media, the claim that "YKS questions were leaked" came to the agenda.
"YKS HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED" Bayram Ali Ersoy, President of the Measurement, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM), made a statement regarding the issue and stated that the allegations are baseless.

Bayram Ali Ersoy, President of the Measurement, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) COMMUNICATION PRESIDENCY: THE CLAIM OF SHARING QUESTIONS IS NOT TRUE The Communication Presidency Disinformation Combat Center made the following statements on social media regarding the images shared: "The claim that 'YKS questions were shared on social media platforms before the exam' is not true. As a result of the investigations, it has been determined that the shared screenshots and photos have no connection with the 2024 Higher Education Institutions Exam (YKS 2024)."
"QUESTIONS FROM PRACTICE EXAM BOOKLETS" It has been determined that many of the mentioned images were taken from the practice exams on the General Directorate of Secondary Education (OGM) Material website or from practice exam booklets prepared by some private educational institutions. It is also observed that some images that circulated with similar allegations in previous years are being shared again with claims such as 'questions were stolen or sold'."
ISOLATED FROM THE WORLD More than 100 ÖSYM personnel who are responsible for the printing, packaging, control, and transportation of the question booklets have been in an isolated closed printing house for about 40 days.
In the closed center where all the preparation processes of the exam were carried out, exam security was ensured with special systems such as Faraday cage and signal jammer, as well as the presence of security forces 24/7.
The personnel who served during the closed printing house period will leave the center and reunite with their families after the completion of the YDT, which is the last session of the YKS.
