“Applicants for admission should avoid being conned by fraudsters, who call themselves agents, who claim to provide services on how to join higher education institutions in the country, because we have agents for institutions abroad, but not within the country, there are no agents or brokers,” he stated.

He said applicants who have certificates which were issued by foreign examination boards should present them to the National Examination Council of Tanzania (NECTA) for secondary education certificates and to NACTVET for Diplomas so that they can be verified and given it’s equivalence.
