Of course, Direct Entry applicants, in most cases, will be required to obtain the post-DE form too. This usually comes out at the same time the UTME candidates are obtaining the post JAMB as well.
However, many candidates won't understand how to obtain their forms online or where to obtain the post UTME/DE or screening form.
Are the forms going to be sold online? Are candidates required to buy and fill out the forms online? Or they're to go to the school, pay for and obtain the form at certain offices? If online, how should it be bought and filled to avoid errors and scammers?
All these questions and similar ones will be in your mind and that's what I'm about to answer in this post.
All Schools Will Sell Their Post-UTME/DE and Screening Forms Online
Literally, all universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, and innovative enterprise institutes will sell their admission forms (post-UTME/DE or screening forms) directly online.
Unlike the old days, when students might be required to obtain paper forms at particular locations or liaison offices, the admission exercise of today generally requires admission seekers to buy and fill forms on the internet.
Of course, candidates are required to pay for and fill such forms on the official websites/portals of the proposed institutions. Hence, it's important for the prospective aspirants to be sure of what they're doing if they must fill the forms online by themselves or using the help of a friend or family.
This is because there are scammers on the Internet luring innocent and unsuspecting admission seekers to pay to them or through a link. The result of which is dupping of their students and their parents.
