Can You Get Into LASU With a 180 JAMB Score? The Truth About LASU’s Cut-Off and Your Real Options
If you scored 180 in your JAMB UTME and LASU is the school you have been dreaming about, this article is for you — and it will be completely honest with you.
The short answer is this: 180 is currently below LASU’s official cut-off mark, and that means you cannot proceed to LASU’s admission screening with that score as things stand for the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 admission sessions.
But before you close this tab in frustration, keep reading.
This article will tell you:
- Exactly what LASU’s cut-off mark is and why 180 does not qualify
- What the cut-off means versus the JAMB national minimum
- How LASU’s aggregate scoring system actually works
- What options are genuinely open to you with a 180 score
- Which other good universities in Nigeria accept 180
- What practical steps you should take right now
- How you can position yourself better for admission this cycle or next
This article is based on verified information. No numbers have been invented. No courses have been listed that LASU does not offer. Where a figure could change, you will be told clearly.
What Is LASU’s Official JAMB Cut-Off Mark?
3 LASU’s official JAMB cut-off mark for all courses in the 2025/2026 session is 195. This means candidates who scored 195 and above in the UTME are eligible to apply for LASU’s post-UTME screening. 24 LASU has approved a general JAMB cut-off mark of 195 and above. This means only candidates who score at least 195 are eligible to apply for the screening. Any JAMB score less than 195 will automatically be rejected by LASU’s Admission Management. There are no exceptions to this rule.
A score of 180 is 15 marks below that threshold.
5 As of the 2025/2026 academic session, the general published cut-off mark for LASU is 195. That means if you scored 180 in your UTME, you would fall below the required mark.
This is the clear, honest position. There is currently no publicly announced LASU course or pathway through which a 180 JAMB score automatically qualifies you for LASU undergraduate admission.
Important: Cut-off marks are reviewed annually. Always confirm the current threshold directly on LASU’s official website at lasu.edu.ng before making any decision, payment, or application.
Why Do Many Websites Claim 180 Is Enough for LASU?
This is a fair question. If you have searched Google for this topic, you have probably seen many websites listing LASU courses alongside a 180 cut-off. Here is why:
The JAMB National Minimum vs. Institutional Cut-Off
11 The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) had set the cut-off mark or benchmark of 160 for universities, 120 for polytechnics and colleges of education.
This 160 is the national floor — the absolute minimum JAMB says any university can use. It does not mean every university actually accepts 160. It simply means no university can set its cut-off lower than 160.
LASU, being one of Nigeria’s most competitive state universities, sets its own cut-off significantly higher. 5Lagos State University was established in 1983 by the Lagos State Government. It is one of Nigeria’s most competitive state universities and is located in Ojo, Lagos.
Some older blog posts, especially those not updated regularly, still list 180 as the LASU cut-off based on figures from previous sessions. These figures are outdated for the current admission cycle. You should not rely on any figure that does not come from the official LASU website or a current, verifiable source.
Does the 2026/2027 Session Change Anything?
For the 2026/2027 academic session, the picture is only slightly different — but still not in favour of a 180 score.
11 LASU departmental cut-off mark for 2026/2027 is at 190. To be eligible for 2026/2027 admission, you must score higher than the LASU cut-off of 190.
Even under this figure — which comes from a secondary education source and should be confirmed on the official LASU portal — 180 still falls 10 marks short.
The trajectory of LASU’s cut-off in recent years has been:
| Academic Session | Reported General Cut-Off | Source Status |
|---|---|---|
| 2024/2025 | 195 | Reported across multiple education sites |
| 2025/2026 | 195 | Reported across multiple education sites |
| 2026/2027 | 190 (as reported) | Reported (confirm at lasu.edu.ng) |
Bottom line: Even in the most favourable recent reporting, 180 remains below LASU’s minimum. With a 180 score, you would currently not pass LASU’s eligibility screening, regardless of which course you applied for.
Understanding LASU’s Admission Scoring System
This section is important because many students confuse the JAMB cut-off with the final admission score. They are not the same thing.
The JAMB Cut-Off Is Just the Entry Ticket
The 195 cut-off mark only qualifies you to register for LASU’s screening. It does not guarantee admission. Once you clear this threshold, LASU then uses an aggregate scoring formula to rank all eligible candidates.
How LASU Calculates Your Aggregate Score
20 Lagos State University has introduced a grading formula for calculating aggregate scores for admission. This change affects how both JAMB and O’Level results are calculated, which is 60% JAMB and 40% O’Level.
The formula that has been reported for recent LASU screening is:
Aggregate = (JAMB Score × 0.15) + Sum of Best 5 O’Level Grade Points
The O’Level grading system used by LASU is:
20 O’Level Calculation for Best 5 Relevant Subjects: A1 = 8 points, B2 = 7 points, B3 = 6 points, C4 = 5 points, C5 = 4 points, C6 = 3 points.
Worked Example
Let’s say a candidate scored 220 in JAMB and has grades of A1, B2, B3, C4, C4 in their five best relevant O’Level subjects:
- JAMB component: 220 × 0.15 = 33
- O’Level component: 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 5 = 31
- Total Aggregate = 64
23 If two sittings were used, there is a deduction of 0.3 per subject from the second sitting.
Why LASU’s Aggregate Matters More Than Just Your JAMB Score
3 LASU takes O’Level grades seriously, especially for merit-based admissions. Candidates are expected to have at least five credits in relevant subjects, including English and Mathematics, in not more than two sittings. Your O’Level performance is part of the aggregate score. The better your grades, the stronger your chances.
This means that even if your JAMB score is average, strong O’Level grades can push your aggregate higher. But you must first clear the JAMB cut-off hurdle to even get your aggregate calculated.
Does LASU Conduct Post-UTME Exams?
13 LASU does not always conduct a written post-UTME exam but uses an online screening system based on candidates’ UTME and O’Level results. 24 LASU’s aggregate system combines your JAMB score and your O’Level grades. There is no Post-UTME exam to worry about. Your strength in both JAMB and WAEC/NECO directly determines your aggregate.
This is significant: your admission at LASU depends entirely on JAMB + O’Level results. There is no written exam to “save” you from a low JAMB score.
What Courses Does LASU Offer? (For Context)
For students who do meet the cut-off and want to understand what LASU offers, here is a broad picture.
2 The university offers a wide variety of undergraduate and postgraduate programs in fourteen faculties. 15 The Ojo campus is the main campus and houses the faculties of Arts, Education, Law, Management Sciences, Science and Social Sciences, School of Transport, School of Communication, and several centres. The Postgraduate School is also on the Ojo Campus. The Ikeja Campus is home to the Lagos State University College of Medicine (LASUCOM) while the Epe campus accommodates the Faculty of Engineering, the School of Agriculture and the Institute for Organic Agriculture and Green Economy. 19 LASU offers 71 courses altogether, ranging from art courses like philosophy, to management courses like accounting and economics, to science courses like medicine, surgery, and nursing.
LASU’s faculties include (based on verified sources):
- Faculty of Arts — African Languages, English, History, Philosophy, and related courses
- Faculty of Education — Adult Education, Educational Management, Guidance & Counselling, and related courses
- Faculty of Law — Law (LLB)
- Faculty of Management Sciences — Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, Finance, Marketing, Public Administration, and related courses
- Faculty of Science — Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, Microbiology, Physics, Zoology, and related courses
- Faculty of Social Sciences — Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Mass Communication (now often in a School of Communication), and related courses
- Faculty of Engineering (Epe Campus) — Civil, Electrical/Electronics, Mechanical, and related engineering courses
- School of Agriculture (Epe Campus)
- College of Medicine — LASUCOM (Ikeja Campus) — Medicine and Surgery, Nursing, Pharmacology, Medical Laboratory Science, Radiography, and related health courses
Note: The specific list of accredited courses for the current session should always be confirmed on the official LASU website at lasu.edu.ng or through the JAMB brochure available at jamb.gov.ng.
Competitive Courses at LASU and Their Reported Score Ranges
The following table reflects reported departmental trends. 3LASU has not officially released departmental cut-off marks in publicly available documents, so these ranges reflect patterns reported from recent admission cycles. They should not be treated as officially published figures.
| Course | Minimum JAMB to Apply | Reported Aggregate Competitiveness | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medicine & Surgery | 195 (general threshold) | Very High — aggregate 65+ | 2Cut-off for medicine and surgery in 2024/2025 was set at 240 in some reports |
| Nursing | 195 | Very High | 24Screening aggregate should be above 80% for Nursing |
| Law | 195 | High | 24Gaining admission into Law at LASU requires a JAMB score of 200 and above; scoring 220+ is strongly advisable |
| Computer Science | 195 | High | 24The cut-off mark for Computer Science at LASU is 200 or higher |
| Pharmacy | 195 | High | Competitive; confirm on official portal |
| Engineering | 195 | High | Limited slots at Epe campus |
| Accounting | 195 | Moderate-High | Popular course, competitive pool |
| Mass Communication | 195 | Moderate-High | 6Departmental cut-offs for highly sought-after courses often rise above 250; Mass Communication and Economics hover around 230–240 |
| Education courses | 195 | Moderate | 3For less competitive programs such as Education, Sociology, or Philosophy, a score closer to the general cut-off may give you a strong shot, especially if your aggregate is high |
| Philosophy | 195 | Moderate | Less competitive |
| Sociology | 195 | Moderate | Less competitive |
| African Languages | 195 | Lower competition | Confirm current availability |
| History | 195 | Lower competition | Confirm current availability |
Important disclaimer: All the figures in the table above reflect trends reported from secondary education sources. LASU does not publish official departmental cut-off figures as a numbered list. 7Lagos State University does not have or publish departmental cut-off marks in the way many other schools do. Admission decisions are made based on aggregate scores relative to available spaces and competition in each department.
The Honest Reality: Why 180 Does Not Work for LASU Right Now
Let’s be specific about what happens when you score 180 and apply to LASU.
5 If you scored 180 in your UTME, you would fall below LASU’s required mark. With 180, your application would likely be rejected at the screening stage.
LASU uses an online screening portal. The portal is configured to accept applications only from candidates who meet the stated minimum JAMB threshold. 7All candidates who wish to sit for the LASU Post-UTME Admission Screening Exercise must ensure that they choose the university as their first choice of institution in the UTME and have scored a minimum of 195 marks.
If you do not meet that score, the system will reject your application before it is even reviewed. No amount of excellent O’Level grades will compensate for a JAMB score that is below the access threshold.
This is not a matter of opinion or interpretation. It is how LASU’s online screening admission portal works.
What Are Your Real Options If You Scored 180?
A score of 180 is not a disaster — it is workable. Several credible universities across Nigeria accept candidates at or around 180. Here is a clear breakdown of your genuine options.
Option 1: Apply to Another University That Accepts 180
Many solid universities — including some state universities in Lagos and beyond — have cut-off marks at or below 180. 11JAMB has set the benchmark of 160 for universities. This means any university can, in principle, accept down to 160.
Institutions that have been reported to work with scores around 180 (always confirm current figures):
- Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH) — formerly LASPOTECH — has been reported to accept candidates around 180 for some programmes
- Many federal and state universities set their general threshold at 180, particularly for less competitive courses
- Some courses at institutions like University of Lagos (UNILAG) may have their specific departmental cut-off around 200+, but others with less competition may be closer to JAMB’s general guidance
This article does not list specific institutions and their current cut-offs because those figures must be verified from each institution directly. Use the JAMB CAPS system and official university websites to confirm eligibility.
Option 2: Change Your Institution Choice on JAMB CAPS
If LASU was your first-choice institution and you scored 180, you may be eligible to change your institution on JAMB’s Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) to a university that accepts 180.
Steps to consider:
- Log in to the JAMB portal at www.jamb.gov.ng
- Access your CAPS dashboard
- If an institution that accepts your score has space, you may be able to change to that institution
- Check whether your JAMB subject combination matches the new institution’s requirements for your desired course
Important: JAMB’s change of institution window has specific opening and closing dates. Check jamb.gov.ng immediately for the current window status and any applicable fee.
Option 3: Re-Sit JAMB Next Year With a Better Score
This is the most straightforward long-term option if LASU is genuinely your target school.
LASU’s cut-off has ranged between 190 and 195 in recent sessions. If you can push your score to 200 or above in the next JAMB sitting, you would not only clear the LASU threshold but also significantly improve your aggregate score and your chances for a competitive course.
Practical tips:
- Register early for the next JAMB UTME
- Focus particularly on the subjects relevant to your chosen course
- Use past JAMB questions — available officially at jamb.gov.ng
- Consider JAMB CBT practice tools
Option 4: Explore LASU’s Pre-Degree or JUPEB Programme
LASU offers alternative academic pathways that do not require you to have scored 195 in JAMB directly. One such pathway is the JUPEB (Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board) programme.
The JUPEB route allows students who may not have the UTME score for direct undergraduate admission to take a qualifying examination. If you pass JUPEB, you can apply for Direct Entry admission into the 200 Level of LASU or another participating university.
1 Lagos State University has announced the sale of the JUPEB form for the 2025/2026 academic session, which confirms that this pathway exists at LASU.
To confirm current JUPEB requirements, fees, and registration dates, visit lasu.edu.ng directly.
Option 5: Explore Open and Distance Learning
LASU also operates an Open and Distance Learning Research Institute (ODLRI). 15The Open & Distance Learning facility is part of LASU’s Ojo campus structure.
This pathway has different admission entry requirements from the standard UTME route. If your goal is to study at LASU specifically and you cannot gain direct entry through UTME, it is worth enquiring about the Open and Distance Learning admission requirements on the official LASU website.
What LASU Genuinely Looks For in Candidates
Even candidates who do meet the 195 JAMB threshold are not guaranteed admission. Understanding what LASU actually weighs in its selection process can help you plan properly.
1. First Choice Status
7 Candidates who actually chose the institution as second choice might have little or no chance at all in securing admission, so it is advisable to make LASU first choice. 19 LASU does not accept second choices; candidates who choose LASU as their second choice will not be eligible for admission.
2. Your Aggregate Score
As explained earlier, LASU combines your JAMB score and your O’Level results into an aggregate. The higher your aggregate, the better your chances. 24Since LASU does not conduct Post-UTME, your O’Level grades carry up to 40 points in your aggregate. Ace your WAEC or NECO — those A1s and B2s count heavily in your screening.
3. Lagos State Indigene Status
13 LASU gives special consideration to Lagos State indigenes, but they must undergo an indigeneship verification process. 25 LASU gives strong preference to Lagos State indigenes for most programmes — non-indigenes compete in a separate pool for a smaller proportion of available spaces. Lagos indigenes have a meaningful advantage even with similar aggregate scores, so declaring your state correctly in your JAMB and LASU application is important.
4. O’Level Grades
18 Candidates must possess a minimum of 5 credit passes in relevant subjects which must include English Language at GCE O’Level, WASCE, SSCE, NECO or approved equivalents at not more than 2 sittings.
5. Subject Combination Match
7 LASU admission is strictly based on a point grading system using the UTME Score and SSCE grades in five best relevant subjects to the candidate’s choice of course. The relevant subjects are obtainable from the JAMB brochure available at jamb.gov.ng.
Common Mistakes Students Make With 180 and LASU
Mistake 1: Trusting Outdated Blogs
Many websites have not updated their LASU cut-off information in years. A 2021 or 2022 figure does not apply to 2025 or 2026 admission. Always verify from the official LASU portal or credible, dated sources.
Mistake 2: Paying Anybody to “Help” Them Get Admission
There are fraudsters who collect money from candidates, claiming they can secure admission into LASU or other universities despite a low JAMB score. This is a scam. LASU admission is processed through an official, automated online portal. No individual or agent has the power to override the system’s score threshold.
Warning: Never pay money to any agent, individual, or unofficial website claiming to secure LASU admission for you. Only make payments through LASU’s official portal at lasu.edu.ng and the JAMB portal at jamb.gov.ng.
Mistake 3: Ignoring CAPS
After JAMB results, many students do not log in to CAPS (Central Admissions Processing System) to track their admission status or explore available options. Whether or not LASU is feasible, you should always monitor your CAPS dashboard.
Mistake 4: Assuming All Courses Have the Same Cut-Off
As shown above, even within the 195 general cut-off, individual courses like Medicine, Law, and Computer Science have much higher effective score requirements. Merely clearing the general threshold does not mean you can gain any course you want.
Mistake 5: Not Considering the O’Level Aggregate Impact
Students often focus only on JAMB and forget that LASU weighs O’Level results heavily. Even if your JAMB score is slightly above the threshold, weak O’Level grades will hurt your aggregate. Equally, strong O’Level grades give you a competitive edge over peers with similar JAMB scores.
Mistake 6: Applying to LASU as Second Choice
As confirmed above, LASU does not process second-choice applications. Many students lose the admission window entirely because they used LASU as their second choice while their first choice institution rejected them.
LASU School Fees — What to Expect If You Do Get In
For candidates who are planning to re-sit JAMB or pursue alternative pathways with the goal of eventually gaining LASU admission, it is useful to understand what the school fees look like.
19 The school fees for LASU 2025/2026 range from approximately ₦90,000 to ₦150,000 across all faculties. Indigenous and non-indigenous students pay the same school fee in order to ensure fairness among students. 19 Acceptance fees are mandatory for students who are admitted into LASU before even paying school fees; failure to pay the acceptance fee will deny you admission. Freshers are required to pay ₦60,000, which includes the acceptance fee and also the medical fee.
These figures are reported from secondary sources and should be confirmed on the official LASU website or admission portal before any payment is made. School fees change annually.
A Realistic Score Target If LASU Is Your Goal
If you are planning to re-sit JAMB with LASU in mind, here is a practical score target based on verified information:
| Goal | Minimum JAMB Score Needed | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Clear LASU’s general cut-off | 195+ | The published LASU minimum |
| Have a competitive aggregate for less competitive courses (Education, Philosophy, Sociology, History) | 200–220 | Closer to the threshold; strong O’Level grades become more critical |
| Have a realistic chance at Management Sciences, Social Sciences | 220–240 | More competitive pool |
| Have a strong chance at Law, Computer Science, Engineering | 230–260 | Departmental competition pushes effective threshold higher |
| Have a realistic chance at Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy | 260+ | Extremely competitive |
What to Do Right Now — Step by Step
Here is a practical plan if you scored 180 and were counting on LASU:
Step 1: Confirm your JAMB score on the official JAMB portal at jamb.gov.ng.
Step 2: Log in to CAPS and check your current admission status.
Step 3: Check whether the JAMB Change of Institution window is currently open. If it is, identify universities that accept 180 for your course of interest.
Step 4: Visit the official websites of the alternative universities directly and confirm their current cut-off mark for your specific course.
Step 5: If you are determined to attend LASU, explore the JUPEB pathway by visiting lasu.edu.ng and checking the JUPEB or Pre-Degree section.
Step 6: If you plan to re-sit JAMB, register early next cycle, focus heavily on JAMB subject areas, and work to push your score to 200 or above.
Step 7: Regardless of your next step, do not pay money to any unofficial agent or person claiming to arrange LASU admission.
Official Links
- LASU Official Website: https://lasu.edu.ng
- JAMB Official Portal (CAPS, registration, result checking): https://www.jamb.gov.ng
- JAMB BROCHURE (subject combinations for all courses): https://www.jamb.gov.ng/brochure.aspx
Always use these official links for payments, applications, and verifications. Avoid third-party portals that mimic official websites.
What to Do Next
- Check your CAPS profile today — log in to jamb.gov.ng and see what your current status shows.
- Explore the Change of Institution — if the window is open and you qualify for another school, consider switching.
- Research universities that accept 180 — there are good schools that will accept your score. Use the JAMB website to compare.
- Visit lasu.edu.ng directly — check if JUPEB, Pre-Degree, or Distance Learning options are available and whether you qualify.
- Plan for JAMB re-sit — if LASU remains your target, set a goal of 200+ for the next JAMB.
- Focus on your O’Level results — if you have not yet sat WAEC or NECO, prepare seriously; LASU’s admission weighs your grades heavily.
- Never pay an agent — report any individual or website requesting money for LASU admission to the appropriate authorities.
Conclusion
With a 180 JAMB score, you cannot currently gain admission into Lagos State University through the standard UTME route. LASU’s general cut-off mark is 195 for the 2025/2026 session, and even for the 2026/2027 session the reported cut-off remains at or above 180. The LASU screening portal will not process applications below the minimum threshold.
This does not mean your options are gone. It means you need to redirect clearly: explore the Change of Institution option through JAMB CAPS, consider LASU’s alternative pathways like JUPEB or Distance Learning, or set a firm target of 200+ for the next JAMB sitting and return to LASU better prepared.
The most important thing you can do right now is to get accurate, current information — directly from LASU’s official website and the JAMB portal — and act on it quickly before admission windows close.

7. FAQ SECTION
1. Can I get into LASU with a JAMB score of 180?
No. As of the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 admission sessions, LASU’s minimum JAMB cut-off mark is 195 (and some sources report 190 for 2026/2027). A score of 180 falls below this threshold, and LASU’s online screening portal will not process your application. You should explore other universities or alternative LASU pathways such as JUPEB or Distance Learning.
2. What is LASU’s current cut-off mark?
3 LASU’s official JAMB cut-off mark for all courses in the 2025/2026 session is 195. For 2026/2027, some sources report 190. Always confirm directly at [lasu.edu.ng](https://lasu.edu.ng).
3. Is there any course at LASU that accepts 180?
No LASU course has an officially published cut-off of 180 in the current admission cycle. All courses at LASU share the general institutional minimum, which is currently 195. 24Any JAMB score less than 195 will automatically be rejected by LASU’s Admission Management. There are no exceptions to this rule.
4. What is the difference between the JAMB minimum of 160 and LASU’s cut-off of 195?
11 JAMB has set the cut-off mark or benchmark of 160 for universities. This is the national floor — the minimum any university can use. LASU independently sets its own cut-off higher, currently at 195. The JAMB 160 minimum does not mean LASU accepts 160.
5. Does LASU conduct a written Post-UTME exam?
8 Lagos State University does not write post-UTME exams; rather, they conduct a screening for candidates. This screening is based on JAMB scores and O’Level results only.
6. How does LASU calculate its aggregate score?
LASU uses a formula combining JAMB and O’Level results. 23LASU aggregate formula: (JAMB × 0.15) + (sum of 5 best O’Level grade points). A1 = 8, B2 = 7, B3 = 6, C4 = 5, C5 = 4, C6 = 3.
7. What happens if I chose LASU as my second choice on JAMB?
19 LASU does not accept second choices; candidates who choose LASU as their second choice will not be eligible for admission. You must have selected LASU as your first-choice institution.
8. Is NECO accepted at LASU?
Yes. 18Candidates must possess a minimum of 5 credit passes in relevant subjects which must include English Language at GCE O’Level, WASCE, SSCE, NECO or approved equivalents at not more than 2 sittings.
9. Does LASU give preference to Lagos State indigenes?
25 LASU gives strong preference to Lagos State indigenes for most programmes — non-indigenes compete in a separate pool for a smaller proportion of available spaces.
10. Can I apply to LASU through Direct Entry with 180 JAMB?
Direct Entry is a separate route and does not require a UTME score. Direct Entry candidates apply through a different process. If you have an OND, NCE, A-Level, or JUPEB result, you may be eligible for Direct Entry admission. Confirm current Direct Entry requirements at jamb.gov.ng and lasu.edu.ng.
11. What should I do if I scored 180 and my first choice is LASU?
Check if JAMB’s Change of Institution window is open, consider switching to a university that accepts 180, explore LASU’s JUPEB or Distance Learning pathways, or plan to re-sit JAMB next cycle with a target of 200+.
12. What are LASU’s school fees?
19 The school fees for LASU 2025/2026 range from approximately ₦90,000 to ₦150,000 across all faculties. Confirm the exact current figure on the official LASU portal before making any payment.
13. Can someone help me secure LASU admission despite my low JAMB score?
No. LASU admission is automated through an official portal. Any individual or website claiming they can secure admission for you despite a below-threshold JAMB score is attempting to defraud you. Never pay such persons.
14. What JAMB score should I aim for if LASU is my goal?
A score of 200 or above clears the general cut-off comfortably. For competitive courses like Law, Engineering, Computer Science, and Mass Communication, aim for 220 or above. For Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy, aim for 250+.
15. Where can I check LASU’s current admission announcements?
Visit lasu.edu.ng directly. LASU also communicates through its official social media handles. Do not rely on unofficial channels for admission news.
