How Does Catchment Area Affect Admission Process?
Let it be known to you that candidates that fall within the catchment area are give special preferences before those outside the catchment area will be considered so long as you meet the ATBU admission requirements, except such student outside the catchment area of ATBU performs excellently well. Haven’t you wondered why in States and Federal Universities, you tend to see more of the indigenes of the state more than others?
