28 August 2026 12:21 (UTC+04:00)

The highest rate of filled university admission places for the
2026/2027 academic year was recorded in Group III

Azerbaijan’s State Examination Center (SEC) reported that some
99.84 percent of the available places in Group III were filled. All
places in the TC sub-group were also filled, leaving no
vacancies

The SEC said the ratio between the number of applicants and
available places had indicated strong competition in Group III. As
a result, sub-bachelor graduates were expected to have fewer
opportunities for admission in this group. Following the
competition, only applicants who took the entrance examination were
admitted to Group III programmes

Group II recorded the second-highest rate, with 97.52 percent of
available places filled. Sub-bachelor graduates also had
opportunities to enter universities through this group. A total of
2,319 sub-bachelors gained admission to Group II programmes, the
highest figure among all five groups

In Group I, 96.64 percent of places were filled, with 1,197
sub-bachelor graduates admitted

The occupancy rate stood at 91.91 percent in Group IV and 93.71
percent in Group V. A total of 627 sub-bachelors were admitted
through Group IV, while 72 entered universities through Group
V

Overall, the figures show that Group III was the most
competitive category for university admission in Azerbaijan for the
2026/2027 academic year, while Group II provided the largest number
of admission opportunities for sub-bachelor graduates
