What is the LASU JAMB Cut Off Mark?

First things first: what exactly is a cut-off mark?

In Nigeria, every university sets a benchmark score called a “cut-off mark.” It’s the minimum score you must get in your JAMB exam to be considered for admission into a particular institution.

For LASU in the 2025/2026 admission cycle, the general JAMB cut off mark is 195 for every faculty except in required fields. This means if you scored anything below 195 as your JAMB score, you are not eligible to apply for any LASU course via JAMB.

But hang on—this is just the general threshold. You’ll need a higher JAMB score if you’re aiming for competitive courses like Medicine, Law, or Engineering.

What Influences LASU’s Cut-Off Marks?

Wondering how LASU determines who makes the cut? Here are some key factors:

Number of Applicants: The more people apply for a course, the higher the cut-off tends to be.
General JAMB Performance: If most applicants score high, the university may raise the bar.
Departmental Quota: Some departments have limited space and can only admit a certain number.
Catchment Area Policies: LASU gives preference to candidates from Lagos State.

LASU Post-UTME Screening: What You Should Know

Yes, LASU conducts post-UTME screening for eligible candidates.

To qualify, you must:

Score 195 or above in your JAMB
Select LASU as first choice institution
Have at least 5 credits in relevant O’Level subjects (including Math and English)

The post-UTME is more of a screening than an exam—it usually involves submitting your O’Level results and JAMB scores online for assessment.

Pro Tips to Boost Your Admission Chances

Let’s be real—gaining admission into LASU can be competitive. Here’s how to stay ahead of the game:

Score above the cut-off: Obvious, but essential. A 250 puts you in a better position than a 195.
Pick a smart course combo: If your score isn’t super high, consider less competitive alternatives.
Ace your O’Levels: Strong WAEC/NECO grades can tip the scales in your favor.
Be first-choice faithful: Always select LASU as your first choice on JAMB.
