It is imperative for student to know that not all federal universities accept two sittings of O’level result. This post will do justice to highlighting the federal universities which afford you the opportunity to make up for an incomplete result by combining it with another one.
Aspirant seeking admission into Federal univerisities often get confused and ask us question such as; Does my University of choice accept two sittings of O’level result ? If not, which other federal university accept result combination and still offers me the best chance of studying my course ? Will I get admitted with two SSCE results in OAU, UNIBEN, UNILORIN etc. I will answer those questions shortly in this post.
Federal universities are known to be very competitive in Nigeria and as such, very strict with their admission requirements, most especially in the area of O’level result in which most of this institution requires at least 5 credit passes.
Most Federal Universities in Nigeria accepts two sittings of O’level result except for few that I will also mention in this post.

Federal Universities that do NOT accept two sittings in O’level result or Combination of Result
Now, while we have federal universities which give room for O’level result combination due to one or two deficiency in either of the results, some do not accept O’level result combination at all. This include;
- University of Ibadan (UI)
- University of Lagos (UNILAG)
Therefore, if you are seeking admission into any of the above listed Universities, your O’level result must not be a combined one, I.e Your result must be made at one sitting. Otherwise you should consider choosing another federal university or write another Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE).
Note: Some universities do not allow two sittings for some specific courses such as Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Business Administration, Pharmacy, Law, Banking and finance and others, if you’re still confused about any school and their O’level requirement kindly drop your question in the comments section, Scholarpostng team will give answers to every of your questions.
