LASU Cut Off Mark for 2026/2027 Admission

By ScholarsAfrik Editorial ·

The LASU screening portal displayed 195 for 2026/2027 on 8 September 2026, and this guide explains why it is not a departmental merit guarantee.

LASU cut off mark for 2026/2027 admission

For candidates searching for the Lagos State University cut off mark for 2026/2027, the official screening portal showed a minimum score of 195 in the 2026 UTME when checked on 8 September 2026. The LASU admission screening portal identifies the session and says candidates must meet the listed conditions, including choosing LASU as first choice and uploading an O Level result to JAMB CAPS. Treat 195 as the observed screening eligibility minimum on that date, not as a permanently current figure or a guaranteed course admission score. Recheck the portal for later changes. JAMB minimum, LASU eligibility and departmental merit

A JAMB minimum is a national baseline. It can tell an applicant the broad score needed before an institution may consider an application, but it does not promise a place. Institutional screening eligibility is LASU's own condition for registering or being considered in a particular exercise. On 8 September 2026, the official LASU portal displayed 195 in the 2026 UTME and added first choice, O Level and valid registration requirements. A candidate who meets 195 but misses one of those conditions may still be ineligible. Since portals can be amended, use the displayed session and check date when discussing this figure.

Departmental merit cut off is different again. It is the eventual competitive level for a programme after LASU assesses eligible candidates, available spaces, required subjects, screening information and approved admission criteria. A final level for Medicine, Law, Nursing, Accounting, Computer Science or another popular course can be higher than 195. LASU's 195 statement should therefore never be rewritten as “195 for every course.” It is also not evidence that every department will publish one fixed number. Reading the LASU portal without overreading it

The official 2026/2027 screening portal, as observed on 8 September 2026, says the UTME route is for 100 level applicants and gives the 195 minimum. It also provides a direct entry route for applicants with qualifications such as OND, NCE, HND or A Level, subject to the route's requirements. Read the portal itself for the latest instructions, payment details, dates and candidate login. Do not pay an agent because a message claims to offer a departmental slot.

The score is meaningful only with a valid application. Make LASU your first choice where the notice requires it, upload the correct O Level result to CAPS, keep your JAMB registration number accurate, and use the contact details shown on the official portal. If LASU changes the screening window or adds a document, the updated official notice takes precedence over this article. Admission is also subject to the programme's subject combination and O Level credits. Keep the observation tied to its date

Applicants often see tables labelled “LASU cut off mark” that combine an old departmental estimate with a current year. Such tables may be useful as informal history, but they are not LASU's official 2026/2027 merit list. The only figure this guide attributes to the 2026/2027 session is the 195 screening minimum displayed by LASU's official portal as observed on 8 September 2026. Departmental competition can move independently, the portal can be updated, and no old table can guarantee an offer.

Use the LASU undergraduate admission page and the faculty directory to confirm the course, then compare requirements in JAMB's current brochure. Check admission on JAMB CAPS when an offer is made. A name on a screenshot, coaching centre list or unofficial website is not the same as a CAPS offer. Planning after meeting 195

Meeting the published minimum is a starting point. Review your aggregate prospects honestly, keep documents readable, and choose a programme whose subjects you can meet. If your first choice is highly competitive, investigate related approved courses through official faculty information rather than selecting a random alternative. LASU can update programme offerings and accreditation, so verify before changing a JAMB choice.

The useful summary has a date attached: LASU's 2026/2027 screening portal displayed 195 as the UTME eligibility minimum when checked on 8 September 2026. That observation does not establish a departmental merit cut off, and it should not be presented as an undated promise. Follow the portal for any later notice, submit only through official channels, and do not let an old score masquerade as the official figure for this admission session. Keep checking the portal after screening registration because an eligibility announcement, a screening result and a final admission list are separate communications. A careful applicant saves each notice with its session label and check date, then checks the admission offer on JAMB CAPS before celebrating or paying an acceptance fee.
