IS THERE ANYBODY IN THERE?
Turkey's Student Selection & Replacement Center (OSYM), which has become the address of scandals, extends the deadline for applications without making any explanations and students can find no addressee to voice their problems.

The institution, which has not given any satisfying reply about the recent cheating claims in several exams, has now extended the application deadline for the Undergraduate Placement Examination (LYS) until May 11. More than 20,000 people have so far objected to results of the exam due to OSYM's calculation errors and the center keeps receiving reclaim applications every day.
