In addition to the General Higher Education Exam (YGS), for the placement of would-be-bachelors of Music Departments, there is an additional exam different from other varied programs compared to the Music Teachers' Education Programs: Recognized Music Ability Exam (just for Music Depts.). That exam is run by the interior members of the related departments in the universities. As noticed, music education candidates are obliged to take two exams not the three of the exams: General Higher Education Exam (Centralized Exam) and Recognized Music Ability Exam (Departmental Exam). It is observed that there are verifications in the application procedure of the exam named as the Recognized Music Ability Exams all over the universities in the country.
