FAQs
What are second-choice universities in Nigeria?
Second choice universities are tertiary institutions in Nigeria that accept candidates who selected them as their second preferred institution during JAMB registration. Unlike most federal universities that typically prioritize first-choice applicants, some state and private universities consider second-choice candidates during admission.
Do all Nigerian universities accept second-choice candidates?
No, not all Nigerian universities accept second choice candidates. Most federal universities like the University of Lagos (UNILAG), University of Ibadan (UI), and Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) only consider candidates who selected them as first choice. However, some state universities and private institutions do accept second choice applicants.
Can I gain admission into a university if I choose it as a second choice?
Yes, you can gain admission if you meet the institution’s cut-off mark, post-UTME requirements, and other admission criteria. However, your chances may be lower compared to those who selected the institution as their first choice. It is advisable to confirm from the university whether they are open to second-choice candidates.
What are some examples of universities in Nigeria that accept second choices?
Some universities that have been known to accept second-choice candidates include Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), Ekiti State University (EKSU), Delta State University (DELSU), Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba (AAUA), and Ambrose Alli University (AAU).
