Exams are administered in accordance with the Karadeniz Technical University Associate and Undergraduate Education, Examination, Evaluation, and Student Affairs Regulations. Accordingly, the passing grade is determined by the midterm grade (50%) and the final exam (50%). The midterm grade may consist of one or more components such as midterm exams, homework assignments, quizzes, labs, and term projects. A minimum of 45/100 on the final exam is required. Students who receive a letter grade of (AA), (BA), (BB), (CB), or (CC) in a course are considered successful in that course.

At the end of each semester, students may take a make-up exam for the courses they failed in that semester.

If their semester average is 2.0 or above, DC grades from that semester are also considered passing. Students who receive a letter grade of (DD), (FD), or (FF) in a course are considered failed.

Students who have one course remaining until graduation may take the make-up exam for graduation provided they meet the eligibility requirements for the final exam in that course. The most up-to-date information on these topics can be accessed on the KTU Student Affairs Department website.

In order to supervise the quality of higher education programs:

        The Higher Education Council (YÖK- Turkish Higher Education Council) is responsible of planning, organization, management and supervision of education, training, and other activities in higher education institutions.

        YÖK prepares "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" within its own criteria and publishes these reports annually. YÖK prepares reports that include qualitative and quantitative evaluations of higher education institutions in accordance with these annual reports and shares them with public.

        YÖK publishes the "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report", which includes academic, administrative, and financial data of foundation higher education institutions annually. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK. Quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is provided according to the "Procedures and Principles for Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs":

1. Establishment and Approval of Curricula

1.1. YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required to open undergraduate programs in higher education institutions.

1.2. The curriculum of undergraduate programs in higher education institutions and the learning outcomes that each program will bring to the student are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.

1.3. The curriculum of National Core Education Programs is implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of YÖK after being accepted by the relevant Deans Council.

2. Assessment and Evaluation: How to measure and evaluate the learning outcomes that each undergraduate program will bring to the student is carried out in accordance with the education, training and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.

3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs if they successfully complete the course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions; receive undergraduate diploma.

4. Self-Evaluation-External Evaluation: In the context of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions enter the "Institution Internal Evaluation Reports" of the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK-Turkish Higher Education Quality Council) at the beginning of each year. The "Institutional Feedback Report" prepared by YÖKAK regarding the external evaluation of higher education institutions is shared with the public. In addition, accreditation decisions made by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also show that the quality assurance of the qualifications of the programs is ensured. It carries out regular review activities regarding the qualifications determined in accordance with the YÖK legislation.

Students who achieve a sufficient score in a specific score type, within a certain quota, based on the Student Selection Examination (ÖSS) and the Student Selection and Placement Examination (ÖSYS), administered centrally nationwide, are eligible to enroll in the department. Since 2010, these centralized exams have been renamed the Higher Education Entrance Exam (YGS) and the Undergraduate Placement Exam (LYS). Students who qualify for admission to the department register through an organization organized by the KTU Student Affairs Department, as part of the KTU-wide registration process.

Explanations regarding registration requirements and procedures for new students are announced to students via the KTU website. In addition, a certain number of students are admitted to the department through horizontal and vertical transfer programs. The conditions and procedures concerning horizontal and vertical transfers are also published on the Student Affairs web pages of KTU.

Graduates of Karadeniz Technical University's Electrical-Electronics Engineering Department can establish their own businesses as freelance electrical and electronics engineers, or find employment in energy transmission and distribution companies, particularly TEDAŞ, TEİAŞ, TÜRK TELEKOM, and GSM companies; in companies providing communications infrastructure and services; or in numerous private and public institutions requiring industrial automation services. Many graduates have become researchers and faculty members at universities.
