This study aims to compare graduate students placed in Gazi University Faculty of Sports Sciences Department of Sports Management with the special talent examination system (STEE) and central placement examination systems (CPES) in terms of various variables. In the study in which the screening model was used, the typical sampling method from the purposive sampling method was used to determine the participants. In this context, Gazi University Faculty of Sport Sciences was preferred because it does not differ from the universe in terms of its basic features, can represent the universe, and has students with both central and special talent exams. The participants of the study consisted of 301 students who graduated with a talent examination system between 2007-2011 and with the central placement examination system between 2012-2016. To determine the theoretical and applied course averages of the students, 54 compulsory courses were examined within the scope of the study. The data were obtained from the Gazi University student information system. Frequency and percentage analysis were used in data analysis, and independent samples t-test was used to test whether there was a significant difference between students' academic averages. With the analysis of the data obtained in our research, it has been determined that both the theoretical and practical course general success points and course attendance averages of the students who enter with the CPES score are higher than the students who enter with the STES, and their overall grade averages are significantly higher (p<.05). In addition, it was determined that there was a significant decrease in the number of female students in sports management departments with CPES. As a result, it can be said that the CPES in sports management departments is effective in selecting more successful students in academic terms, but it will increase the gender inequality that is already present in the sports management profession.
