Awaiting scores

During the last days of June, the scores of the candidates are expected to be known.

The scores will probably be accompanied by the official statistics of the Panhellenic Examinations, which will be able to lead to safer estimates of the picture of the admission bases for this year.

In addition, the process of filling out the Computerized Bulletins is expected to be completed in the first fortnight of July, so that by the end of July, the bases for admission to Higher Education have been announced.

Update via SMS

Since yesterday, Monday, the platform is available, through which candidates can register their mobile phone, in order to be informed about their score, but also about their final admission results.

In more detail, until next Monday, June 25, 2024, all candidates for the Pan-Hellenic GEL and EPAL Examinations can visit the smsresults.minedu.gov.gr platform, in order to be informed by text message (SMS) initially about the scores in set of subjects examined and later for their admission faculty/department.

Access to the service is carried out with the details of participation in the Pan-Hellenic Examinations (eight-digit Candidate Code, the first letter of the surname, first name, patronymic and patronymic, in capital Greek characters, as well as the candidate’s mobile phone number).

Candidates will then be able to confirm their mobile number or modify it. To complete the process, it is necessary to enter a unique code (One Time Password) that will be sent to the mobile phone that was declared when registering for the service.

It should be noted, however, that the information via SMS works in addition to the other ways of informing the candidates: The candidates of the National Examinations will be able to be informed about the results from the online application of the Ministry of Education, at the address: https://results .it.minedu.gov.gr (by typing their eight-digit code and the initial letter of the surname, first name, patronymic and patronymic, in capital Greek characters), but also through the catalogs that will be posted in the school units.
