Please am a direct entry candidate, but doing my jamb direct entry processing i was asked to regularize my reg number.but due to insufficient time i was advised to select other diploma in place of OND/HND. please will my application still be considered?.
Secondly, i tried applying for Mtn scholarship, as my ND cgpa is above 3.00, and i am required to input my matric number. can i use my ND matric number since i have not been enrolled into hnd?
You have to be already in an HND programme to qualify for the scholarship. Concerning the other question you asked, you will still need to regularize your admission. Even if it does not affect you now. It will affect you during NYSC registration.
