LASU Portal Entry Requirements 2026/2027

To qualify for the LASU admission screening exercise, candidates must satisfy the following conditions.

UTME Candidates

Applicants must:

• Choose Lagos State University (LASU) as their first-choice institution in the 2026 UTME.
• Score a minimum of 195 in the 2026 UTME.
• Be at least 16 years old by 1 October 2026.
• Possess at least five (5) O’Level credit passes, including English Language and Mathematics (where required), obtained in not more than two sittings.
• Meet the specific subject requirements for their chosen course.

Direct Entry (DE) Candidates

Direct Entry applicants must:

• Have a valid JAMB Direct Entry registration.
• Possess the required qualifications (A-Level, ND, HND, NCE, IJMB, JUPEB, or equivalent).
• Meet the O’Level requirements for their intended course of study.

LASU Cut-Off Mark for 2026/2027

The general UTME cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 admission exercise is:

195

Candidates who score below 195 are not eligible for the LASU admission screening.

However, competitive programmes such as:

• Medicine and Surgery
• Law
• Nursing
• Pharmacy
• Engineering
• Computer Science

may require significantly higher aggregate scores because admission is based on merit and available spaces. Meeting the minimum cut-off mark only qualifies you to participate in the screening exercise and does not guarantee admission.

LASU Post UTME Screening

Unlike some universities that conduct a written Post UTME examination, LASU generally uses an Online Admission Screening Exercise.

The university assesses applicants using factors such as:

• UTME score
• O’Level grades
• Subject combination
• Compliance with admission requirements

Candidates should complete the online screening accurately, as incorrect information may lead to disqualification.
