For 2026, DAV plans to admit 2,200 students across 13 admission combinations, consistent with the previous year. The academy maintains four admission methods: the three mentioned above, plus direct admission.

New conditions apply for the group using academic transcripts combined with international foreign language certificates. Applicants must achieve a score of 22/30 or higher in the three subjects corresponding to their chosen combination in the high school graduation exam. Additionally, the average academic transcript score for two of the three subjects must be 8,5 or higher.
