Requesting APSSB to allow window for late applicants

Editor,
Through you esteemed daily, I would like to appeal to the APSSB chairman regarding the recently closed application window for the APSSB combined graduate-level examination. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, I was unable to submit my application before the deadline.
I understand the importance of adhering to deadlines set by the board. However, I would like to humbly request the APSSB to consider a one-day reopening of the application portal for candidates like myself who genuinely missed the deadline for unavoidable reasons.
This opportunity would allow aspirants like me, who have diligently prepared for the exam, to participate in the selection process. A reopening for a single day would ensure fairness for all while minimising disruption to the established schedule.
I urge the APSSB to consider my request sympathetically and grant us this one-time opportunity to submit our applications.
Ted Mara,
