They say “a wise man does not put all his egg in one basket”.

That is why making a good choice for your 2nd choice school is very vital.

In the battle for admission in Nigeria, you have to be very wise and clever in making decisions.

Now most federal universities in Nigeria don’t accept second choice that is why you have to be mindful of the school you put as 2nd choice.

Don’t worry we are here to help and guide you.

Please don’t put your major institution for 2nd choice, make it your 1st choice cause most universities prefer being given 1st choice.

  9. Please…. Does fuoye accepts second choice?
    Morealso, can i choose a federal university as first choice and at the same time another federal university as second choice?

    1. Fuoye does not accept second choice.

      You cannot choose another federal university as second choice. Your second choice institution can only be a state university, polytechnic or college of education.

        1. Your choice of institution. You have four choices to pick in jamb. You have first choice, second choice, third choice and fourth choice institution.

          The first choice can be a federal university, state university, private university or polytechnic.
          The second choice candidates be a state university, private university or polytechnic.
          The third choice can be a polytechnic or college of education.
          The fourth choice will be an educational institution (not a university or polytechnic).

          I hope this helps, Olawale.

    2. I have already choose kwarapoly for third choice, pls can I still choose federal poly making two poly but one federal and one state. pls is that possible….
    And lastly does kwarapoly accept second & third choice

    1. yes,you can chose a federal polytechnic as 2nd choice,meanwhile lasu do not accept 2nd choice.
      yes,you can have a 2nd choice as poly and a third choice as poly.
      kwara poly does not accept 3rd choice.

    1. Please tell me the course and the admission mode (UTME or DE). With these, I can easily tell you their requirements.

      1. What about this year we aren’t doing putme. I heard we can change them to first choice after we’ve been given admission, is that true?

    1. you may likely not be admitted because computer science is competitive in imsu.

  12. Pls which school do not write post utme aside anambra state university that do screening. Which other school do screening nd accept 2nd choice candidates. Thanks waiting for ur reply in due time.

    1. Most schools that do only screening do not accept second choice applicants. For example lasu is part of these types of schools. I will soon publish an article on that. Thanks for asking Chibueze.

    1. Sorry Elizabeth, but they don’t accept second choice applicants. If you want to study there, then you must choose them as first choice in jamb.

    1. Yes they do, but you must meet ESUT admission requirements if you want to get admitted to study your course there.

  13. Please does akwa ibom state uni accept second choice cos the form is out but was indicated “for first choice only

    1. Kaduna state university does not accept second choice for admission. Though their admission method is strictly based on merit. If you can score above 90% in their postutme examination, then you are good to go.

    1. They used to accept few years back, but last year and the year before they didn’t accept. If you are looking for an opportunity in OOU the best thing to do is pick it as first choice

    1. Am so sorry for the late reply. Regarding your question, “does kwasu accept second choice ?”. The answer is yes, kwara state university accepts second choice in jamb and it is one of the universities that accepts second choice. I hope that answers it all.
