Registration for exams

between 18:00 (Hungarian time), 09.12.2025 and 30.01.2026

To register/drop exams, please go to Neptun Exams ➥ Exam registration menu, use the filters to set the term „2025/26/1" and „Every subject" then click on the „List exams" button. After choosing the subject and the proper date of the exam, please click the + sign at the end of the line and choose Register/Drop.

You can attend an exam if you have a valid signature of the respective subject (validity of a signature is unlimited unless the course requirement of the corresponding subject regulates it in a different way).

Registration or withdrawal (drop) of exam dates can be done only in Neptun, until noon of the previous day. If you have any expired financial liabilities, you are blocked from registering for exams!

To check your liabilities, please go to Neptun Finances ➥ Payment menu choose the filter „All terms" and „Active status" and click the „List" button.

If you have tuition fee liability outside of the Neptun system, please contact your ASC Programme Coordinator.

In case of a denied signature, you have to withdraw your registration for the subject's exam you already applied for, otherwise 5.500.- HUF/exam extra fee has to be paid.

If a grade is offered to you in a subject and you accept it then please register for an exam of the subject, so that the grade can be entered into Neptun by the department. If you do not register for an exam, your offered grade will not be entered into Neptun „automatically”, the way is through a registered exam only.

The Department may set an individual exam registration period for the oral partial exam of a comprehensive exam, as well exam dates may be brought forward by the Department for the Repeat/delayed submission period. This individual exam enrolment period may end not earlier than 72 hours before the exam / comprehensive exam.

THE EXAM PERIOD

In the fall semester of the academic year 2025/2026, the period between 22.12.2025 and 02.01.2026 is winter holiday. No exams, final exams or other academic assessments can be held during this period.

between 05. and 30.01.2026

Improving grades and retaking exams

You can retake exams as many times as you like during the semester to improve your grade. However, from the third attempt onwards (exams taken from 1 September 2016 onwards), you will be charged an additional fee of 4,500 HUF per exam. This means that if you took two exams in the same subject last semester, you will have to pay the above extra fee for the first exam in that subject this semester.

In case of reasonable requests, resits of the repeat exams can be done in front of a committee.

The extra fee for improving a grade or retaking an exam is inflicted in Neptun by ASC, but only after entering the grade into Neptun. The deadline to pay the fee is 15 days.

Deferred exams

Upon request (013 Request for deferred exam), in particularly justified cases, students may take a so-called deferred examination after the examination period, based on the decision of the Faculty Study Committee (FSC). The reasons given in the request must be supported by a certificate.

An important change is that according to the amendment of the Code of Studies of BME effective from 02.02.2022, deferred examinations can only be taken within 15 days of the examination period.

If the application is accepted, the ASC will issue a decision on the authorisation. The decision must be presented to the Department teaching the subject and the date of the deferred examination must be agreed in advance with the Department. The date of the deferred examination will be posted by the Department in Neptun, for which a specific examination period will be set. The student can register for the exam in Neptun in the same way as for the exams announced during the exam period.

Absence from a registered exam DATE

The student is obliged to appear at the registered exams/comprehensive exams. If your absence from a registered exam is justified and you were not able to sit for the exam or withdraw your registration in time in Neptun, then you have to justify your absence directly to the lecturer (in person or in written form) within 8 days of the absence. If the lecturer refuses the justification, then you can submit an „052 Certificate of absence from examination” request to the FSC within 8 days after the refusal.

If your absence on an exam is not justified then you have to pay 5.500.- HUF extra fee.
