Originally scheduled to conclude on Wednesday at 7:00 PM, the deadline for the first phase will now end on Thursday. The phase commenced on Saturday, August 5, and will continue until Thursday, August 10, at 7:00 PM, through the ministry's tansik website.

In the initial phase, students from Thanaweya Amma who achieved 70.61% or higher in the literature track, 88.29% in science, and 83.41% in mathematics are invited to submit their college preferences, enabling them to compete for admission to leading faculties. This year, a total of 112,240 high-performing students will participate in the submission process.

Students have the option to submit their preferences online using any computer with internet access or visit designated laboratories at universities across the country from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM daily, as confirmed in the statement. To assist students in making informed choices, the tansik website provides information on the minimum acceptance grades for each college in previous years.

Among the most sought-after faculties are medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy in the science branch, petroleum and mineral engineering along with other engineering branches in mathematics, and mass communication, alsun (languages), and economy and political science in the literature branch.

Results for tansik will be published on the website at a later date, and final nomination cards for students will be issued by the tansik office after the completion of the second phase.
