The JBC reminded applicants that the date of submission via its Online Registration Application System (ORAS) will be considered the official filing date.
Qualifications will be evaluated as of the date of nomination, the JBC added.
Applicants must also meet the criteria outlined in the 2020 Revised JBC Rules, which detail qualifications and evaluative standards.
