On Wednesday, July 8, at 8:30 am, the Central Examination Commission (CKE) published the results of the 2026 matura exams, which around 344,000 graduates took in May. Scores are available online via the ZIU portal and on paper certificates at schools.
Results day
On 8 July 2026 at 8:30 am, the Central Examination Commission (CKE) released individual matura results for approximately 344,000 graduates who completed secondary school in the 2025/2026 academic year. Scores can be checked online through the Integrated User Interface (ZIU) at ziu.gov.pl, using a login and password provided earlier by school directors. Access is also possible via a trusted profile (Profil Zaufany), e-ID, or electronic banking. Physical certificates and annexes are available for collection at schools the same day, with ID required for pickup.
Exam structure and pass requirements
The matura session ran from 4 May to 30 May 2026. Every candidate had to sit three written exams at basic level (Polish, mathematics, and a modern foreign language), two oral exams (Polish and a foreign language), and at least one written exam at extended level. Graduates from minority-language schools additionally took written and oral exams in their native language. To obtain the maturity certificate, a minimum of 30% of points was required on each mandatory basic-level exam. Extended-level subjects have no pass threshold but are decisive for university admissions.

University recruitment in Poland began in June. Ranking lists based on matura scores are published in July, and supplementary recruitment for remaining places runs through August and September.
