In light of this, a video shared by Radio Universe on its TikTok page showed applicants who had visited the centre sharing their thoughts.
One of the applicants indicated that he selected Computer Science, Information Technology, and Bachelor of Arts as his programme choices.
He explained that it was after visiting the Admissions Assistance Desk that he was informed he did not gain admission into any of the programmes and was advised to opt for the self-placement option.
“They asked me to mention my serial number, and when they checked and found that I did not gain admission, they said they would send me a link for self-placement.”
