In Manisa's Demirci district, 3 candidates whose car tire burst while going to the exam center to take the Public Personnel Selection Examination Secondary Education (2026-KPSS Secondary Education) were brought to the exam center by gendarmerie teams.
Approximately 1,900 candidates attended KPSS in 5 exam centers in Demirci. District Gendarmerie Command, District Police Department and Demirci Municipality Police Department teams took precautions against any problems that candidates may experience, such as being late, forgetting documents, or confusing the exam location.
The gendarmerie took action after receiving a report that a car carrying three candidates had a flat tire on the road. The gendarmerie reached the region in a short time and brought the 3 candidates to Necip Fazıl Kısakürek Science High School, where they would take the exam shortly before the exam started.
Candidates quickly entered the exam hall.
A candidate who rummaged through the building in Avcılar came to the school where he was going to take the exam, but was not allowed in because the exam had already started. Some candidates could not take the exam because they were late.
KPSS secondary education exam started at 10.15. Candidates who were searched and taken into the exam halls were not allowed to wear watches, phones or jewellery.
