The Ministry of Education opened the password creation stage for General and Vocational Lyceum candidates submitting higher education preference forms and parallel preference forms for public SAEK places. Candidates must contact their Lyceum during the announced window.

What Changed?

The password stage for the 2026 computerized preference process was activated for higher education and public SAEK applications.

Old System vs New System

Before

Before the notice, candidates did not yet have the official 2026 window to create the password needed for the M.D. and P.M.D. submission systems.

After

Eligible candidates can create their personal password at their Lyceum from 17 June to 30 June 2026, with emergency service available in July when Lyceums operate.
