Meeting the cut-off does not guarantee admission. Post-UTME score and O'Level grades are also weighted.
What to know this cycle
About Lagos State University (LASU)
Established in 1983 by the Lagos State government, LASU is a multi-campus, non-residential university with sites at Ojo (main campus, housing Arts, Law, Management Sciences, Science, and Social Sciences), Ikeja (home to the College of Medicine, LASUCOM), and Epe (Engineering and Agriculture). It's the only university in Lagos State created under state law, and consistently ranks among Nigeria's most-applied-to schools — in 2025 it received about 79,000 first-choice JAMB applications, making it the single most-subscribed university in the country that year.
LASU caters to over 35,000 students across 14 faculties and has been named Nigeria's best state university for multiple consecutive years in the AD Scientific Index rankings.
How Admission Works
LASU applies a flat JAMB cutoff of 195 across every course — it does not officially publish separate departmental JAMB cutoffs (unlike UI or UNILAG). What actually differentiates courses is the screening/aggregate score, calculated from JAMB and O'Level results combined:
- Minimum JAMB score: 195 (LASU must be your first choice — it does not consider second-choice candidates)
- O'Level requirement: 5 credits including English Language and Mathematics, in not more than two sittings
- Aggregate formula: LASU has used a points-based system combining JAMB score and O'Level grades (in your 5 best relevant subjects) — the exact weighting has changed in recent cycles, so always check the current screening circular
- Screening: LASU runs an online admission screening rather than a traditional Post-UTME exam
- Age requirement: Minimum 16 years old at the time of application
Note: while LASU's official cutoff is uniform, competitive courses like Medicine, Nursing, and Law realistically require JAMB scores well above 195 and strong O'Level grades to be competitive in screening — unofficial community estimates place Medicine around 240+ and Nursing around 220+ in recent cycles, though these aren't LASU's published figures.
Good to Know
- LASU does not accept second-choice applicants — it must be your first choice on JAMB
- School fees for the 2025/2026 session ranged roughly ₦25,000–₦150,000 depending on course and level
- Lagos indigenes must complete verification through the Independent Indigeneship Verification Committee (IIVC) for 100 and 200 level admission
- LASU also runs Pre-Degree (PDS), JUPEB (Foundation), part-time, and sandwich degree programmes as alternative entry routes
- Direct Entry is accepted, but only LASU's own Diploma certificates qualify (except NCE for Education programmes)
Figures current as of mid-2026; always confirm current screening details directly via lasu.edu.ng before applying or making payments.
