List Of Nigerian Universities That Accept Second Choice In JAMB

Posted on May 28, 2025 By CampusTimesNG 91 Comments on List Of Nigerian Universities That Accept Second Choice In JAMB

For those prospective students awaiting the commencement of the 2024 JAMB exams, we wish to update you with the list of Nigerian universities that accept the second choice in JAMB.

Earlier on, JAMB had ruled out the selection of two public universities as both first and second choice during last year’s UTME registration exercise, due to the reason that most universities do not accept second choice candidates that apply to them.

However, It is now good news that JAMB has enabled candidates to select two universities as the first and second choice.

This means that candidates can now apply for state universities or federal universities that accept second choice candidates as their second choice institutions during registration.

We pray you to come out successful in your next JAMB exam, therefore we thought to brilliantly carve out for you 7 Clever Ways To Pass JAMB.

Formerly, we wrote for you a comprehensive article to see 2024/2024 JAMB Cut Off Marks For Nigerian Polytechnics, Universities, and Colleges of Education. Therefore we compiled a list of such universities to be chosen as the second choice which are rendered below.
