Equivalence documents from YÖK must be provided for non-directly qualifying degrees. The written exam invitation threshold is set at the top 20 times the number of vacant positions among candidates scoring at least 70 in the designated KPSS score type. Successful candidates whose appointments are confirmed will be sent abroad for one year for professional development or master's studies under presidential quota.
