- Applicants for all levels: bachelor's, master's and PhD.
- All programmes except dentistry.
- People who are in Istanbul on exam day.
The announcement does not mention any nationality or grade requirement. If your situation is special (for example a different previous field or degree), ask Taktik's advisers before the exam.
