Should django templates name for each app be unique?

I'm developing a django app. It has three apps in it, each with it's own template directory and index.html file. But when I call view from the second app it picks up the template file from the first app rather than the second one.
Is it a must that every template name be unique?
my projects directory: 

├───jobs
│   ├───migrations
│   ├───static
│   └───templates
├───job_portal
├───main_app
│   ├───migrations
│   ├───static
│   └───templates
├───project_static
│   ├───css
│   ├───fonts
│   ├───images
│   └───js
└───recruiters
    ├───migrations
    ├───static
    │   ├───css
    │   ├───fonts
    │   ├───images
    │   └───js
    └───templates

In Django you can use templates with the same names for different apps. But you should add subfolders inside app's template directory like this: 

my_app/templates/my_app/base.html
second_app/templates/second_app/base.html

Now in views you should include app name to the template name:

return render(request, 'my_app/base.html')
return render(request, 'second_app/base.html').
