YKSFEST'25 was held at our university's Grand Conference Hall, bringing together prospective students in a vibrant and engaging setting. Organized with the aim of supporting academic success and boosting student motivation during the exam preparation process, the event attracted significant interest. With the participation of nearly one thousand prospective students, the program provided attendees with the opportunity to experience the university atmosphere firsthand.
The event featured renowned educational consultant Gökhan Müftüoğlu, known as “Gri Coach," as a keynote speaker. In his presentation titled “Exam-Winning Strategies," Müftüoğlu emphasized the importance of structured study plans, selecting the right resources, and maintaining motivation throughout the exam journey. Engaging directly with students and answering their questions, Müftüoğlu offered valuable insights on time management, analyzing practice exams, and coping with exam anxiety — all of which garnered strong interest from the audience.
Following Müftüoğlu's talk, Hakan Kumral, founder of Çağdaş Bilgi Educational Institutions, addressed the participants. Sharing his experiences in the field of education, Kumral highlighted the significance of goal setting and consistent effort.
At the end of the event, commemorative plaques were presented to the speakers. A prize draw was also held, with various gifts awarded to the winning students. The program concluded with a musical performance by students from Bayrampaşa Tuna Anatolian High School.
