12 questions found

I think I am in the wrong program; should I leave right away?

Before making a decision, pin down what you want to change: courses, city, living conditions, or your future field of work? Compare official routes, talk to your advisor, and verify the requirements before taking an irreversible action affecting your current enrollment.

My research plan
How should I compare horizontal transfer with taking the YKS again?

Review the basis for the application, announcement calendar, possible course equivalency, your budget, and the preparation effort separately. Do not assume that one route is easier or better for everyone.

Compare paths
Does my GPA alone show that I can transfer?

No. The application type, the target program’s requirements, and the official announcement for the relevant term must be considered together. Ek Madde 1 also has its own implementation principles. This site does not calculate eligibility or admission likelihood.

Official sources
What can I do if I cannot get an answer from the institution?

Check the announcement’s contact unit, student affairs, and the faculty unit if there is one. Ask your question briefly in bullet points; add the relevant term and program yourself. Do not interpret a lack of response as approval.

Application checklist
Can I explore a different field without changing programs?

You can look into electives, projects, internships, and career-center opportunities at your university. Some fields require a specific degree or professional authorization; staying in your current program does not give you the right to move into every profession.

What exactly is free on Reflektif?

According to the product page reviewed on 28 October 2026, the RIASEC interest test, first AI assessment chat, and basic interest profile are free. Personality/values, career options, and full reports may be in the paid plan. Check Reflektif’s plan page for current coverage.

Will Reflektif tell me which university I can transfer to?

No. Reflektif provides self-discovery support around interests, personality tendencies, and work values. It does not provide transfer eligibility, an admission result, or a career or job guarantee. Final application requirements come from the institution.

Are my notes or guide answers transferred to Reflektif?

No. Answers and notes in RotaDeğiştir are not transferred automatically. You choose whether to save them on this device; you decide whether to share any file you download. A separate account and Reflektif’s privacy terms apply there.

Privacy and boundaries
Does this guide tell me whether I can transfer?

No. The guide only shows paths you can research and topics that need verification. Eligibility and the application outcome are determined by the relevant institution.

Compare paths
Is Ek Madde 1 the same as a transfer based on GPA?

They are not the same application route. YÖK publishes separate implementation principles for transfers based on the central placement score under Ek Madde 1. Verify the correct application type in the university's current announcement.

Ek Madde 1
Is staying in my department also an option?

Yes. You can explore a different work field through courses, projects, internships, and advising opportunities. This does not mean professional authorization or a career guarantee.

Stay in your department
Are application dates the same at all universities?

This site does not give a universal application date. Check the relevant term's university announcement and official calendar; do not treat old announcements as current.
