Previously, the sale of forms was scheduled to end on Saturday, May 2, 2026, with submission initially fixed for Monday, May 4, 2026.

Meseko explained that the adjustment became necessary due to the public holiday observed nationwide on Friday, as well as the high level of interest shown by aspirants.
