Important Notice for All Applicants
Candidates must ensure that Lagos State University (LASU) is selected as their first-choice institution before attempting the admission screening.
Applications from candidates who have not selected LASU as their first choice will not be processed.
If LASU is not currently your first-choice institution, you are advised to visit a JAMB-accredited CBT centre to carry out a Change of Institution before proceeding with the screening exercise.
Admission Requirements Matter More Than the Cut-Off Mark
While the general eligibility cut-off mark is 195, admission into highly competitive courses may require significantly higher UTME scores.
Programmes such as Medicine and Surgery, Nursing, Law, Pharmacy, Computer Science, Engineering, Accounting, and other competitive courses often demand stronger academic performance due to limited admission quotas and intense competition.
Meeting the minimum cut-off mark only qualifies a candidate for screening and does not automatically guarantee admission.
Helpful Resources and Tools
Admission Requirements
Candidates should review the specific O'Level and UTME subject requirements for their chosen courses before applying.
IIVC Re-Validation
Candidates previously cleared by the Indigeneship Verification Committee (IIVC) in 2024 or 2025 may need to complete the re-validation process where applicable.

Why LASU Remains a Top Choice
Lagos State University continues to attract thousands of applicants annually because of its academic reputation, diverse course offerings, modern facilities, and strategic location in Nigeria's commercial capital.
The institution remains one of the most sought-after state universities in the country, making admission increasingly competitive each year.
Final Thoughts
The LASU cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 admission screening exercise is 195. However, prospective students should focus not only on meeting the minimum score but also on satisfying all admission requirements for their chosen programme.
Candidates must ensure LASU is selected as their first-choice institution, upload their O'Level results to JAMB CAPS, complete the screening process correctly, and monitor official announcements for updates. Early preparation and accurate documentation can significantly improve the chances of securing admission.
Admission Tip: Scoring 195 qualifies a candidate for LASU's admission screening exercise, but competitive courses often require much higher scores and strong academic credentials before admission can be offered.
