LASUSTECH Cut Off Mark (2026): Scores and Admission Guide

The LASUSTECH cut off mark is 195 for the 2026/2027 undergraduate screening exercise. That is the university's published UTME entry threshold, so candidates should start with 195 rather than assume that a lower national minimum automatically qualifies them. You must also meet the requirements for your intended course and complete the university's screening process.

For many applicants, the difficult question is what happens after reaching the minimum. A score can make you eligible to apply without securing a place in Computer Science, Engineering or another competitive programme. This guide explains the score, the records to check and the decisions worth making before paying for an application.

General LASUSTECH Cut Off Mark

Lagos State University of Science and Technology requires a minimum UTME score of 195 for its 2026/2027 screening. The advertised registration period was 1 to 31 July 2026. Those dates have passed. A functioning login page does not, by itself, establish that new applications are still being accepted.

Read the score as one condition within an application. A candidate with 230 but an unsuitable subject combination can face a problem that a higher score cannot repair. Likewise, a qualifying candidate who never submitted a screening form does not have the same application record as someone who completed every stage.

LASUSTECH Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The table lists all 40 programmes in the university's course-requirement selector and the five additional programmes approved for 2026/2027 in September. The score column shows the general UTME screening minimum of 195. LASUSTECH has not published a separate final departmental score for each course in the screening notice, so these entries establish the starting eligibility requirement rather than a guaranteed offer.

Broadcasting, Journalism and Media Studies, Public Relations, Cyber Security and Software Engineering are the five newly approved programmes. Their inclusion records the university's approval announcement. The LASUSTECH cut off mark shown for them is the institutional baseline, not a separately announced departmental selection score. Confirm their application arrangements and subject requirements before changing course or paying.

For the other programmes, 195 also means eligibility for screening. A candidate seeking Computer Science must still satisfy the appropriate subjects and the university's selection process. A course list does not establish that a closed application window has reopened.

When using the LASUSTECH cut off mark table, match the exact course title on your record. Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Software Engineering are different programmes. Their similar names do not make their academic requirements interchangeable.

What your UTME Score Means in Practice

If you scored below 195, the LASUSTECH cut off mark has not been met for this advertised exercise. Paying an intermediary cannot turn a lower score into a valid qualifying result. Consider other institutions whose current entry rules fit your score, subjects and career plans.

If you scored exactly 195, you have reached the published threshold. Your next job is to make your application complete and accurate. Do not interpret equality with the minimum as an offer, and do not abandon a valid application simply because another applicant reports a higher score.

If you scored well above 195, preserve that advantage by checking your records carefully. A wrong examination year, missing science credit or incorrect JAMB registration number can create an avoidable problem. High marks are useful only when they belong to the same identifiable candidate throughout the admission process.

O Level and Subject Requirements to Review

Applicants need five relevant O Level credits obtained in no more than two sittings. “Relevant” matters: five credits in unrelated subjects do not automatically satisfy a science or technology programme. Check English Language, Mathematics and the additional subjects specified for your course.

Make a small comparison sheet with three columns: course requirement, your result and the result uploaded to the portal. Compare subject names as well as grades. Mathematics and Further Mathematics, for instance, should not be treated as interchangeable unless the programme's published rules allow that substitution.

The JAMB brochure guide explains how to check combinations before committing to a course. Use that check alongside the university's requirements. Neither a friend's successful admission in an earlier year nor a generic list of science subjects settles the requirements for your own programme.

Candidates who used awaiting results should verify that the eventual grades have reached the relevant admission records. Uploading a result on a university form and uploading it to JAMB are separate actions. Keep a clear copy of each result so that any discrepancy can be traced to its source.

First Choice Direct Entry and Lagos Origin Verification

The LASUSTECH cut off mark applies to UTME applicants. Direct Entry candidates follow the qualification route specified for their programme, and the notice requires a JAMB Direct Entry application with LASUSTECH as first choice. A diploma result does not remove the need to complete the appropriate screening.

If you originally selected another institution, resolve the first-choice issue through the authorised JAMB process. Check that the changed choice appears in your record before assuming that the university can retrieve it. Keep the change receipt and the updated application details together.

Candidates claiming Lagos State origin should also follow the State of Origin Verification Committee process specified by the university. This verifies an origin claim; it should not be interpreted as a statement that every applicant must be a Lagos indigene. Use genuine documents and ensure the names on them match your admission records.

LASUSTECH Cut Off Mark and Screening Fees

The advertised charges comprise ₦2,000 for screening and ₦8,000 for administration, giving ₦10,000 before transaction charges. This is an application cost, not tuition, an acceptance fee or a promise of admission.

Before paying, check the applicant name, registration number, session and payment description. Save the generated invoice, transaction reference and receipt. If your bank account is debited but the portal does not reflect payment, use those references to request reconciliation instead of repeatedly paying without checking.

Budget separately for data, printing and any authorised service you choose to use. A cybercafé's typing charge should not be represented as a university fee. You should be able to distinguish what the institution charged from what a service provider charged for assistance.

A Practical Application Record to Keep

Keep one folder containing your UTME result, O Level results, screening acknowledgement, payment receipt and any change-of-institution evidence. Name digital copies clearly enough to recognise the session and document without opening each file.

Review the final acknowledgement after submitting. A payment receipt proves a transaction; it may not prove that the form was finally submitted. Look for the application status and the completed information on your own dashboard. If a helper completed the form, ask to review the acknowledgement yourself.

Candidates who meet the LASUSTECH cut off mark should then monitor their university record and JAMB CAPS admission status. A screening acknowledgement, a recommendation and an accepted admission offer are different records. Follow the instructions attached to the actual offer when it becomes available.

Choosing Another Course or Institution Sensibly

A change should solve a specific eligibility problem. Write down the missing requirement first: score, subject combination, O Level credit or programme availability. Then compare only courses that address that issue and still interest you.

Our guide to changing course or institution through JAMB explains the administrative route. Before making the change, confirm that the receiving institution's application window and course requirements remain suitable. A lower advertised minimum is of little use if its screening has already closed.

Do not choose a programme solely because its name sounds similar to your preferred course. Compare what you will study, the qualification awarded and the careers it supports. A thoughtful alternative should be a course you are prepared to complete, rather than a temporary name selected in the hope of an automatic transfer later.

FAQs

What is the LASUSTECH Cut Off Mark for 2026/2027?

The published minimum is 195 in UTME. Applicants also need the required O Level credits, suitable subjects, first-choice status and a completed screening application. Reaching the number does not replace those conditions.

Can I Apply to LASUSTECH with 180?

Not under the advertised 195 minimum for this exercise. A national university minimum does not require LASUSTECH to accept every score above that national figure. Consider institutions whose own current rules match your result.

Is 195 Enough for Computer Science?

It meets the general screening threshold, but it is not a guaranteed admission score for Computer Science. Check the course requirements and wait for the actual selection decision rather than relying on an unofficial departmental prediction.

Does LASUSTECH Accept Two O Level Sittings?

The screening notice allows the five relevant credits to be obtained in no more than two sittings. Enter each examination board, year and number accurately, and check the particular course's subject requirements.

Must I be a Lagos Indigene to Apply?

Do not interpret origin verification that way. Applicants claiming Lagos origin must follow the university's verification process. Other applicants should assess their eligibility using the admission conditions applicable to their own records.

How Much Was the Screening Application?

The advertised screening and administrative charges total ₦10,000, comprising ₦2,000 and ₦8,000 respectively. Transaction charges may be additional. This payment is separate from any fees charged after admission.

Is the Screening Form Still Open?

The advertised window ended on 31 July 2026. As of 16 October, applicants should check for an explicit reopening or supplementary notice before attempting a new payment. An accessible portal alone is insufficient evidence of an extension.

Conclusion

Use the LASUSTECH cut off mark of 195 to establish eligibility, then check your subjects, first-choice record, results and completed screening. A consistent application gives the university the information it needs to assess you; a qualifying score by itself is only the beginning.
