I put one university as first choice and another as second choice. Can I do post-UTME for both, or does JAMB stop me?

Technically you can apply to more than one school's screening, but only one school can eventually admit you through JAMB, and many competitive schools only screen first-choice candidates.
Before paying for a second screening:
- Check whether the school accepts second-choice candidates for your course.
- Confirm that doing both does not breach the school's rules.
- Remember that each screening fee is separate and usually non-refundable.
The safest strategy is to focus on the school where your aggregate is genuinely competitive, and use the second choice as a real backup — not as a lottery ticket.
