Can I Write Post Utme In Two Schools or Universities and Gain Admission

Can I Write Post Utme In Two Different Schools? One question many JAMB candidates ask when applying for admission is whether they can write Post-UTME in two different universities in the same year.

Some students believe they are limited to one university, while others think they can apply to as many schools as they want. So, what is actually allowed?

Yes, you can apply for Post-UTME screening in two different universities in the same admission year, provided you meet the admission requirements of both institutions.

However, there are a few things you should understand before submitting your applications.

Can I Register for Post-UTME in Two Universities?

Yes. You can apply to two universities and participate in their Post-UTME examinations or screening exercises.

For example, if you are interested in the University of Benin (UNIBEN) and the University of Lagos (UNILAG), you may apply to both schools if you satisfy their requirements.

But don’t assume that every university accepts candidates who selected it as a second choice. Some institutions require candidates to make them their first choice before they can participate in the screening exercise. Others may allow you to apply after changing your institution on the JAMB portal.

Make sure you always read the admission notice published by each university before paying for its screening form or better still you can ask us to help you on it.

What If Both Universities Schedule Their Post-UTME on the Same Date?

This is one situation you need to watch out for.

If both universities conduct physical Post-UTME examinations on the same date and at overlapping times, you may not be able to attend both. You will have to consider the examination arrangements and decide how to proceed.

However, not every university conducts a written Post-UTME examination. Some institutions use online screening, document verification or other assessment methods. Check the details of each school’s screening exercise before making payment.

Can I Gain Admission into Two Universities in the Same Year?

You may receive admission offers from more than one university, but you should not confuse receiving offers with being allowed to hold two admissions.

JAMB uses its Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) to manage admission offers and prevent multiple admissions. You cannot hold two valid admissions at once or concurrently. If you accept an admission and later secure another one, the earlier admission may cease to stand under JAMB’s rules.

So, if two universities offer you admission, take time to consider your options and follow the official JAMB CAPS process. Don’t accept admission offers carelessly.

Conclusion about Can I Write Post Utme In Two Different Schools

There is no need to limit yourself to one university simply because you are unsure whether you can apply to another. You can consider two schools, provided you meet their requirements and follow their individual screening procedures.

Just remember that applying to two universities is different from accepting two admissions. Check the screening dates, admission requirements and JAMB choice requirements of both schools before you proceed.
