It is a public university owned by the Lagos State Government, accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC). LASU is consistently one of Nigeria’s most applied-to universities — in 2026, JAMB recorded 84,326 first-choice applicants, making it the most subscribed state university in the country. It offers programmes across 16 faculties and schools, including Medicine, Engineering, Law, Computing, and Agriculture.

Use your 2026 UTME Registration Number and Surname (exactly as it appears on your JAMB slip) to log into the screening platform.

How LASU Calculates Admission Aggregate
LASU does not conduct a written Post-UTME aptitude test. Your admission score is an aggregate of two components:
- Your UTME score (JAMB)
- Your five best relevant O’Level subject grades
The higher your combined aggregate, the better your chances of securing a place, especially in competitive faculties like Medicine, Law, and Engineering. A score of exactly 195 is the minimum to access the portal, but you will be competing against thousands of candidates who also meet that threshold. Your O’Level performance is therefore just as important as your JAMB score.
