LASU Cut Off Mark for 2026/2027 Admission

The Lagos State University (LASU) cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session is officially out, and if you are planning to apply for admission into one of Nigeria’s leading state universities, this is one update you cannot afford to miss. The cut-off mark is the minimum score a candidate must obtain in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to qualify for the next stage of the admission process. It serves as an important benchmark that helps candidates determine if they are eligible to apply for admission into their preferred course at LASU.

Admission into LASU is highly competitive, especially for courses such as Medicine and Surgery, Nursing, Pharmacy, Law, and Mass Communication. Candidates are therefore encouraged to score as high as possible and ensure they meet all other admission requirements. In this article, you will find the official LASU cut-off mark, Lagos State University departmental cut-off marks, admission requirements, and the next steps to take, whether you meet the cut-off mark or not. This guide will help you understand your admission chances and prepare properly for the 2026/2027 admission exercise.

What is the General LASU Cut Off Mark for 2026/2027 Admission?

For the 2026/2027 admission exercise, LASU has approved a general cut-off mark of 195 and above for candidates seeking admission into its undergraduate programs. This means that only candidates who scored at least 195 in the UTME can apply for admission into LASU. Meeting the minimum score does not automatically guarantee admission, as some highly competitive courses may require a higher aggregate score based on your UTME performance and O’Level grades. Candidates who score below the approved cut-off mark are not eligible to participate in the university’s admission screening exercise.

However, admission into LASU is based on several factors, including:

• UTME score.
• O’Level grades.
• Aggregate score.
• Number of applicants for a particular course.
• Available admission quota.

Therefore, scoring exactly 195 may qualify you for screening, but a higher score generally improves your chances of gaining admission.
