University Demanding N5,000 Screening Fee Before Admission – Is This Normal?

I thought we only paid screening and admission fees after getting our JAMB admission letters. Now my school portal asks me to upload my result and pay N5,000 before JAMB results are even released. This means students who won’t get admitted will still pay the screening fee. It feels unfair to pay for admission we might never receive. Has anyone else been asked to do this? Is this a new policy or am I missing something?
