The State Examination Center will hold an entrance examination for master’s degrees of higher education institutions on June 14, 2026.
According to the information provided by the SEC to elchi, the exam will be organized in 3 cities and regions of the republic – Baku, Sumgayit, and Absheron, in a total of 63 buildings.
The exam starts at the same time in all buildings – at 10:00. The admission regime ends at 09:45, 15 minutes before the start of the exam. Participants arriving after this time are not allowed into the exam building.
As you know, the listening comprehension skills of bachelors in a foreign language are also tested in the exam. The exam will begin with the audio playback of the listening text. Everyone must be in the hall 15 minutes before the start of the exam to prepare for the audio playback and ensure silence in the building.
The duration of the exam is 3 hours and 30 minutes. 3 hours after the start of the exam, the time allotted for answering test tasks ends, and the answer sheets are collected by the hall supervisor. After that, writing (essay) sheets are distributed to the participants. 30 minutes are given for writing the essays.
Exam results will be announced in 2 stages. Within 2-3 days after the exam, the results of closed-ended and open-ended tasks with coded answers will be announced. The final exam score will be presented after the essay tasks are graded.
Exam participants can familiarize themselves with the “Memory Book” here.
It is forbidden to bring mobile phones and other communication devices, electronic devices, calculators, electronic data carriers, books, notebooks, journals, notes, information booklets, dictionaries, tables, bags, and other auxiliary materials into the exam building. We ask participants not to bring additional items to the exam building. All these hinder the efficient organization of the admission regime and its timely completion.
