Do I need double "because" in the sentence below?

Jane felt calm after the exam, not because it was over, but because she had a feeling she did well.

Do I need two becauses? or is one enough?

Thank you for your help!!

You need both of them. It would also be better to write "... she had a feeling she had done well".
