Examination Regulations No. 134 of 2000 and its Amendments

These regulations apply to universities, technical institutes, and the colleges and institutes affiliated with each.

  1. The College Council or Institute Council, upon the proposal of the department or division council in colleges without departments, shall determine the number, type, and method of conducting the midterm exams, as well as how to calculate their weight. The weight of the midterm exam shall not be less than 30% and no more than 50% of the final grade, except for subjects with a practical or applied nature, in which case the university or technical institutes' council shall decide their weight.
  2. Final exams for senior-year students in medical colleges shall include specific subjects identified by the College Council, and the annual grade for the sixth-year medical students shall be weighted at 20% of the final grade.
  3. The final exam, whether semester or annual, for both the first and second terms, shall be conducted in a confidential manner for all subjects.
  4. The final or annual exam shall cover the course material as prescribed for the semester or year. The duration of courses shall not be less than 15 weeks for semester courses and 30 weeks for annual courses, excluding final exam days and holidays.
  5. Faculty members are required to program the syllabi for the subjects they teach, distribute the grades between the midterm and final exams, and announce this at the beginning of the academic year. The annual grades should be announced at least five days before the start of the final exams through the department after the approval of the department head or branch head in colleges without departments. The student has the right to appeal the grade or request correction of errors during this period.
  6. The College or Institute Council, upon the proposal of the dean, shall form a permanent committee or committees to manage exams throughout the academic year.
  7. The minimum passing grade for each subject is 50%.
  8. In colleges using the semester system, two semester subjects are considered as one annual subject unless the number of hours for a semester subject equals or exceeds the minimum required number of hours for a subject in the academic year.
  9. A student who fails in half or fewer subjects (with a fractional subject in the student’s favour) in the first exam can sit for the second exam in the subjects they failed. Otherwise, they are considered a failure in the first exam, except for final-year medical students.
  10. If a student fails in either the first or second term, they must repeat the year, attending classes and retaking the exams in the subjects they failed, as well as those in which they received a "pass" grade.
  11. A student who fails in removed subjects will be required to take the new subjects for their current year when curricula change, provided this does not result in promotion to a higher year or graduation, unless the subject is not required, as per the above section.
  12. A student is considered to have failed in a subject if their absences exceed 10% without a valid excuse or 15% with an excused absence approved by the College or Institute Council.
  13. A student may participate in the second exam if they were unable to take the first exam due to a valid excuse, as confirmed by the College or Institute Council. Valid excuses include sudden illness, the death of a first-degree relative, accidents, or sudden detention.
  14. Practical or applied subjects that do not have a final exam are exempt from the second exam, as determined by the College or Institute Council at the start of the year.
  15. The second exam cannot be postponed under any circumstances.
  16. A deduction of 10 points from the final grade of a subject will be made for a student passing the second exam when calculating the average, except for those passing with a "pass" grade, where the grade is considered 50%.
  17. The department council finalises the results and submits them with recommendations to the College or Institute Council for approval and announcement. For final-year classes, approval from the university president or technical institutes’ council president is required.
  18. The student’s GPA is calculated based on the grades received in each subject, considering the credit hours for each subject.
  19. Each credit hour is equivalent to one theoretical hour per week for 15 weeks.
  20. Each two practical hours in the college are equivalent to one theoretical hour, and each three practical hours are equivalent to one and a half theoretical hours. In technical institutes, one practical hour equals one theoretical hour.
  21. The graduation rank is calculated as follows for a 2-year program:
  • First year: 40%
  • Second year: 60%

For a 4-year program:

  • First year: 10%
  • Second year: 20%
  • Third year: 30%
  • Fourth year: 40%

For a 5-year program:

  • First year: 5%
  • Second year: 10%
  • Third year: 15%
  • Fourth year: 30%
  • Fifth year: 40%

For a 6-year program:

  • First year: 5%
  • Second year: 5%
  • Third year: 5%
  • Fourth year: 20%
  • Fifth year: 25%
  • Sixth year: 40%
  1. The graduation average is calculated by multiplying the student's GPA for each year by the corresponding percentage and summing the results to determine the final graduation average.
  2. The results are announced with the following grade scale:
  • Excellent: 90-100%
  • Very Good: 80-89%
  • Good: 70-79%
  • Average: 60-69%
  • Pass: 50-59%
  • Fail: Below 49%
  1. Grade fractions are rounded to the nearest whole number for a subject.
  2. The cumulative GPA is not rounded.
  3. Based on the recommendation of the College or Institute Council, the University Council or Technical Institutes’ Council may grant a student a "no-fail year" if the student failed in subjects not taken in the second term due to an approved medical report or a force majeure event during the exam period.
  4. The University or Technical Institutes' Council, based on the College or Institute Council’s recommendation, may allow a student who has failed in two consecutive years to repeat the third year if the failure was in one annual subject or two semester subjects.
  5. The minister, for valid reasons, may approve a "no-fail year" for a student who failed two consecutive years.
  6. A student’s relationship with the college or institute ends in one of the following cases:
  • If the student fails two consecutive years in the same level.
  • If the student exceeds one and a half times the prescribed duration of study for their speciality, including years of failure, excluding leave of absence and years without failure.

First:

  • Students who have been removed from the records (expired) may be accepted into different specialities in colleges and institutes with a lower acceptance rate in the respective year. The ministry will distribute them according to a special form, and the total number of students accepted will not exceed 10% of the annual acceptance plan.

Second:

  • Students whose records were removed in the first or second year may be accepted into the corresponding or similar speciality in one of the Technical Education Institutes, either in the morning or evening study mode.

For technical institute graduates, records removed from morning studies will be reinstated for those who graduate from vocational schools, and they will return to the same classes and specialisations in evening studies.

  1. If a student is caught cheating or attempting to cheat in any exams (daily, weekly, monthly, semester, or final), they are considered a failure in all subjects for that academic year. If repeated, the student will be expelled and their record will be permanently removed from the college or institute.
  2. Students may postpone their studies for one year for legitimate reasons approved by the College or Institute Council. The postponement request must be submitted at least 30 days before the final exam.
  3. The university president or the technical institutes’ council president may, based on the college or institute council’s recommendation, approve a second-year study postponement for a student with valid reasons, submitted at least 30 days before the final exam.
  4. Students in colleges or institutes using the semester system may not postpone studies in the second semester unless the reason is beyond their control, and they must pass the first semester. In this case, the postponement applies to the entire academic year.
  5. The minister, or those delegated by him, may, based on the recommendation of the university or technical institutes’ council, approve a third-year study postponement for a student with valid reasons, in accordance with Article 19 of these regulations.
  6. Examination Regulation No. 7 of 1989 is hereby repealed.

These regulations shall be implemented from the date of their publication in the Official Gazette.
