In accordance with the determined procedures and principles, the applications of the students are evaluated by the relevant boards of higher education institutions and their transfers are accepted. In cases where the application is more than the quota, the lateral transfer of the candidate as much as the quota is accepted by starting from the candidate with the highest YKS score and ranking.
