The board had postponed the date for the sale of 2018 application forms due to the delay in meeting the agreed deadline by the publisher of the compulsory text meant for prospective candidates.

The board is charged with the responsibility to administer similar examinations for applicants to Nigerian public and private universities, monotechnics, polytechnics and colleges of education.

All candidates must have obtained the West Africa School Certificate or its equivalent, National Examination Council (NECO) School Certificate.
