Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
225 - 240
LASU maintains a strict baseline of 195. Highly competitive courses like Medicine, Law, and Nursing require aggregates significantly higher than the baseline.
Use of English, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
Five (5) O'Level Credit passes including English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology at not more than two sittings (Note: Highly competitive federal departments frequently enforce a single-sitting rule).
LASU uses a 100% aggregate point system (No physical written Post-UTME). Your UTME score makes up 50% (divided by 8) and your 5 core O'Level grades make up the remaining 50% (A1=10, B2=9, B3=8, C4=7, C5=6, C6=5). Once admitted, LASU operates a fully digital clearance system called LACACA (Central Admissions Clearance Application); all documents must be scanned and uploaded, and successful completion yields a matriculation number.
Direct Entry candidates must possess a minimum of Upper Credit in ND/HND or acceptable grades in JUPEB/A'Level, and must undergo the same online screening process alongside UTME candidates. Candidates claiming Lagos State origin MUST prove their claims before the Independent Indigeneship Verification Committee (IIVC) prior to online screening.
The single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at LASU is assuming that hitting the university's baseline general cut-off mark ensures eligibility for the screening process. Nursing operates inside highly restrictive capacity caps mandated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN). If you score below the hard departmental minimum, your portal choice will face immediate drop filters regardless of aggregate score metrics.
