IGU Board of Trustees Chairman Abdulkadir Gayretli stated that the last published Measurement, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) was composed of base-ceiling points of the departments in the 2018 guide. "There were 6 points in the Higher Education Transition Examination (YGS) which is the first stage in the previous system. In this new system, the Basic Qualification Test (TYT) score is out of balance, so the score in YGS does not correspond to the TYT score. This is why students have to take into account the order when making their choice".

Expressing that the situation should be taken into consideration in the preferences that are explained by examples, Gayretli continued:

"For example, a student who entered the Istanbul Gelişim University Banking and Insurance Department last year with a score of 222 points for a 50 percent scholarship student quota settled with a ranking of 1 million 30, and should not pay attention to the 222 points of students who would prefer this year. There may be a change of about 20 percent. A student in 200 thousands can write departments between 150 and 240 thousands. Students have to consider their talents for the department they prefer here, at least in what circumstances you dream of yourself, you have to make a choice When the student says 'I'm writing it according to my sequence' probably he's holding the places he wrote without thinking and creating a shock effect. Later, he's thinking about re-entering, changing sections. It is necessary to set real goals and dream up these goals to make the right selection because real dreams bring real success".

"ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS ALWAYS POSSIBLE TO BUSINESS"

Emphasizing that students should not give up if they can not win the department or university that they love and dream about, or if they can not win the university, Gayretli added: "If students can not score enough points to realize their ideals they can make a horizontal transition with a base point after studying a year or a semester. They can pass from the state university to the foundation university and from the foundation to the state".
Stating that the students should choose the sections where they can make their own business and find easy jobs, Gayretli said, "There are some departments that the world will always need. Engineering departments are always popular and will be the front line as a business opportunity".

"OUR STUDENTS HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE DOUBLE MAJOR"

Stating that they gave 30 percent scholarships to the students in the first 5 preferences, Gayretli said, "This shows that there is not a student scholarship at IGU. We have a student capacity of 25,000 and all of our students have a chance to make double major. This means, for example, that if a student actually has a willing to study psychology but a different program has been set up since the base score is not enough, the student can make a double major. If could not settle with the exam, students can make double-major without paying a fee in college and have a double diploma”.

“WE SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS IN ALL MATTERS”

Gayretli pointed out that the students who participated in the Erasmus program are supported both foreign language development and recognition of different cultures: "We are getting round-trip plane tickets to the countries where they will go to promote them. We undertake the cost of our students who want to study language. To encourage our entrepreneurship, we cover the furniture costs of those who will open their own business. We support our students in every way, just as they want to improve themselves".

“WE HAVE TAKEN GREAT STEPS ON BEHALF OF INTERNATIONALIZATION”

Stating that the students are allowed to take courses by specialist academicians in the field and that they participate in international organizations through student clubs and that they make contact with many companies, institutions and people on this account, Gayretli stated that "After the Head of HEC Prof. Dr. Yetka Saraç advised universities to internationalize we made great steps in the name of internationalization. We applied to Europe for the accreditation of our 88 programs and we accredited our 53 program. The diplomas of our students with accreditations also had international validity and they were able to take lessons with video conferences from academicians abroad”.
