Enrollment in 2026 high school begins, one of the most important stages for 8th grade graduates. Between July 13-20, the students, together with their parents and managers, will fill in the forms with the options for high school admission. The order in which majors and majors are entered is critical, as the computer assignment algorithm analyzes options in the exact order in which they were completed.
Completing high school options begins on July 13
According to the official calendar of the Ministry of Education, the completion of registration forms takes place between July 13-20, 2026. During this interval, students complete, together with their parents and with the support of the director, the list of high schools and specializations they wish to attend.
At the same time, the data is entered into the IT application, and the printed forms must be carefully checked and confirmed by signature. An error in transcribing the code of a specialization or the candidate’s data can influence the assignment, which is why the Ministry of Education provides a special stage for checking and correcting any mistakes.
How to fill out the high school registration form
The form is filled out in the order of the student’s actual preferences, not according to the average he estimates he will have or admission averages from previous years. The first choice should be the high school and major that the candidate wants most, even if admission seems difficult.
According to the explanatory guide to the assignment algorithm, cited by EduPedu, the system does not disadvantage students who pass first a high school where they believe they have a low chance of admission. The algorithm checks each option in the order written in the form and assigns the candidate to the first option for which he meets the conditions and where there are still available places.
In other words, if a student does not enter the first option, the application automatically moves to the next and continues the check until it finds the first available place. That’s why order of preference is much more important than trying to “guess” admission averages.
How many options is recommended for students to pass
One of the most common fears is that too many choices could reduce your chances of getting into your desired high school. In reality, the algorithm works exactly the other way around.
The guide cited by EduPedu shows that a large number of options does not disadvantage the candidate in any way, as he will always be allocated to the highest possible option based on the average obtained and the seats available.
There is no recommended minimum or maximum number of options. The important thing is that they are sufficient to allow allocation and are listed in order of real preference. Averages from previous years can be a point of reference, but do not guarantee that admission will be the same in 2026.
What happens if you pass too few options
Filling in a small number of options is one of the most common mistakes made by candidates.
If the student’s average is not sufficient for any of the high schools listed in the form, he will not be assigned to the first stage and will only be able to participate in the following stages, when the number of available places is usually lower.
The authors of the allocation algorithm guide point out that the only situations that can put a candidate at a disadvantage are filling in the wrong order of preferences or choosing too few options.
When does computerized high school assignment take place?
According to the official calendar of the Ministry of Education, the computerized distribution for high school enrollment 2026 will take place on July 22.
On the same day, the results will be displayed, and the students will find out the high school they were assigned to. Between July 23 and 28, the admitted candidates will have to submit the enrollment files to the educational units where they were assigned.
What students should remember
The most important thing is that the options are listed in order of real preference, without fear that choosing a highly desirable high school first could reduce the chances of admission to the other options. At the same time, filling in a sufficient number of options and carefully verifying the data in the application form can avoid some of the most common problems that occur during computer assignment.
