In all programs, there are two (2) references that have to be uploaded via the online portal. It is advisable to have the candidates submit their applications much earlier than in that day because there would have been a lot of activity on that day and it might surpass capacity for quite a while, hence leading to system delay. Neither can an application be placed by the closing date. It cannot be possible to alter any application once it has been forwarded.
