On eve of results day admissions teams report surge in interest from students looking for places via clearing

On the eve of results day for A-levels, BTecs and the government’s new T-levels, university admissions teams reported a surge in interest from students looking for places through clearing, a process that matches unplaced students with unfilled courses.
