2025-2026 BAU Department of Cartoon and Animation Special Talent Additional Quota Exam Dates and Lists Announced

Written and Practical Exam: The written exam includes questions that allow candidates' visual perception levels and their interest in and knowledge of the field to be assessed. Visual perception questions measure how individuals process, interpret and make sense of visual information. They may cover figure-ground relationship, similarity and difference, visual closure, visual memory, visual discrimination, visual attention and focus, spatial relationships, visual sequencing and organization, perception of color, texture and pattern, and responses to optical illusions. In addition, candidates will be asked to write a text based on a given concept and will have the opportunity to express their interest in and knowledge of the field in writing. This aims both to get to know the candidates and to measure their verbal expression skills and their ability to analyze abstract concepts. In the practical exam, candidates are asked to visualize a text in 6 frames, create a composition within a theme or topic, and share it with the jury members. Candidates who score 80 or above in the written and practical exams will be invited to the interview and portfolio presentation. Interviews are for full scholarship candidates. Not being on the interview list does not mean that a candidate has failed the exam – it means that the candidate is not a full scholarship candidate.
