The results of the graduation exam held on March 15, 2026, for the full (11-year) secondary education level have been announced.
This was reported to elchi by the State Examination Center (SEC).
It was stated that 11th-grade students who participated in the exam can access their exam results, a graphic representation of their answer sheets, the correct answers to closed-ended questions, as well as evaluation criteria for each open-ended question requiring a detailed written answer (expected correct answers, solutions, grading scales, and samples of written work) by visiting the provided link and using their work number (8-digit student code) and identity document number (or FIN code). Exam participants can find their work numbers here.
Students can also obtain information about their exam results (total score for each subject) by sending their “work number” (8-digit student code) to the number 7727 via mobile operators (Azercell, Bakcell, Nar).
The process of grading written assignments (answers to open-ended questions) was carried out online. Each marker connected to the grading process from their home and graded assignments randomly sent to their computer by the software. It should be noted that facial recognition technology was applied in the online grading process, and all requirements of the grading process (improvement of criteria, encryption of assignments, participation of markers in calibration before grading each task, application of the “seeding” process during grading (regularly sending pre-prepared and calibrated questions to markers to maintain vigilance), random assignment of work to markers by the software, examination of exam protocols, etc.) were followed.
The software for the online grading of written assignments was developed by specialists of the State Examination Center.
It should be noted that in the graduation exam, students are presented with a total of 85 tasks: 10 open-ended questions requiring written answers and 20 closed-ended questions in the language of instruction; 7 open-ended questions requiring written answers, 5 coded open-ended questions, and 13 closed-ended questions in mathematics; and 7 open-ended questions requiring written answers and 23 closed-ended questions in a foreign language. At this stage, the maximum score that can be collected for each subject is 100, totaling 300 points. You can familiarize yourself with the scoring rules in the file at the link.
Out of 58,144 people expected to participate in this exam, 379 did not attend. 10 people were excluded from the exam for violating exam rules.
Among the exam participants, 9 people (see the list here) achieved the highest result by scoring 300 points.
An Appeals Commission will operate at the SEC to review appeals regarding exam results. Those who wish to appeal to the Appeals Commission can register by filling out the electronic application that will be posted on the SEC website from 10:00 on April 27 to 17:00 on April 29. Those who do not register within the specified period will not be able to appeal to the Appeals Commission later. In the electronic application, the number of the task being appealed must be selected, the content of the appeal regarding it must be written, and it must be indicated which point of the criteria it is considered to correspond to. If the content of the appeal is not noted in the electronic application, the application is not accepted and the appeal is not investigated. The appeal process is carried out in the following order:
All assignments appealed are investigated by the Appeals Commission;
Expert opinions (in writing) on the tasks appealed by students are added to the appeal applications;
An “SMS” regarding the completion of the appeal process is sent to the phone number indicated by the students in their appeal applications.
After this, students can access their applications on the apelyasiya.dim.gov.az website to familiarize themselves with the result of the appeal and print the expert opinion from there.
Appeals regarding answers marked in a form inconsistent with the instructions on the answer sheet, including corrections resulting in the answer being considered incorrect by the optical device (e.g., shading two circles in a closed-ended question, etc.), will not be reviewed.
Before applying to the Appeals Commission, students can familiarize themselves with their results, the graphic representation of their answer sheet, the evaluation criteria for each open-ended question, as well as the conditions and explanations of the tasks on the SEC website, on the page related to exam results here. The experience of previous exams shows that approximately 15% of those who write an application for appeal did not answer the task at all or applied to the commission without comparing their answer with the possible correct answers and the grading scale. We bring to the attention of applicants that such appeals will not be reviewed.
