As a result, if you’re a student hoping to enroll in a federal university in Nigeria, keep reading to see which institutions will accept second-place applicants.

Do I have the option to make a federal university my second choice?

 

You might be asking if it’s possible to select a federal institution as your second choice if you’re a student in Nigeria hoping to get accepted into a federal university. Indeed, it is the answer. During JAMB registration, you have the option of selecting a federal university as your backup choice.

Entrance exams for Nigerian institutions are administered by JAMB, which stands for Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.

Candidates must choose their desired institution throughout the JAMB registration process, which includes federal, state, or private universities. Candidates may, however, pick up to four schools, with one federal university being their second choice.

It’s vital to keep in mind that not all federal colleges accept applicants who rank them as their second choice, and some may have additional restrictions. So, it’s essential to conduct thorough findings before making your second choice of any university.

The following federal universities in Nigeria admit applicants who weren’t their first choice:

  1. University of Ilorin (UNILORIN)
  1. the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB)
  1. the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA)
  1. University of Abuja (UNIABUJA)
  1. the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO)
  1. University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT)
  1. Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE)
  1. University of Lagos (UNILAG)
  1. Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun (FUPRE)
  1. Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike (MOUAU)

It’s crucial to remember that admission to federal universities is extremely tough, so selecting one as your second choice doesn’t ensure acceptance.

To improve your chances of being admitted, it’s critical to fulfill the institution’s admission requirements and perform well on the JAMB exam.

Conclusion

In conclusion, although not being accepted into your first choice university can be disheartening, there are still plenty of amazing alternatives available to you. The list of federal universities in Nigeria that accept second choices offers students a chance to explore other institutions and increase their chances of admission.

It is essential to remember that admission requirements for second choice universities can often be similar to those for first choices, so make sure you meet all necessary criteria prior to applying. Furthermore, don’t neglect the advantages of applying to second choice colleges such as exploring new options and making connections.

If you were disappointed that your first choice university didn’t accept you, don’t despair. Use this guide to explore the list of federal universities in Nigeria that accept second choices and find the one that best fits you. Best of luck!
