The field of physics has long been facing the issue of not being
preferred by undergraduate students, as seen in all fundamental sciences
such as chemistry, biology, and mathematics. This study examines the
current situation of physics departments in universities offering formal
education in our country, specifically focusing on the period between
2018 and 2023. Statistical information regarding the admission of
undergraduate students, occupancy rates, changes in quotas, and the
reopening or closure of physics departments in private and state
universities providing formal education in our country during this
period has been analyzed. This analysis has been conducted to evaluate
the current reflection of the general trend that began in the second
decade of the 2000s, which almost halted undergraduate student
admissions in basic sciences in many universities in our country.
