Universities that DO NOT Accept Second Choice in JAMB
Below are list of universities that won’t consider you for admission when chosen as second choice because of the large number of students that turn up for their screening exercise every year.
If you did choose any of them as your second choice institution, we advise you to take JAMB change of institution form as soon as possible.

From the list above, all federal and state universities, that have been in existence for so long won’t offer you admission if you chose them as second choice during JAMB as they already have thousands of candidates who chose them as first choice every year.
It is only newly established universities that are willing to accept you irrespective of the school you chose during JAMB because they are in need of more students.
Newly established schools are less competitive and are willing to accept second choice candidates. In fact, your chances of getting admitted are high even if you selected any of them as an option.
So it will be wise to go through the list once again before making any institution your second choice. If you have any questions regarding the list of universities that accept second choice for admission, feel free to let us know. Our support team will response immediately.
