"Lagos State University (LASU) has launched its online admission screening portal, welcoming UTME and Direct Entry candidates to apply for the 2026/2027 session."
LASU Opens Admission Screening Portal for Candidates
Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo, has officially activated its online admission screening portal for the 2026/2027 academic session. This development marks the formal start of the university's screening process for prospective undergraduate students who chose LASU as their first-choice institution.
The LASU admission process is highly competitive, attracting tens of thousands of applicants yearly. The university's LIDC (Lagos State University Information and Development Centre) has configured the portal to ensure a seamless screening journey for both UTME and Direct Entry candidates.
Selecting Candidate Category and Eligibility
The LASU screening portal requires candidates to select their specific candidate type—either regular UTME, Direct Entry, or other specialized streams. Each candidate type is associated with distinct academic eligibility criteria. For instance, regular UTME candidates must meet the minimum cutoff mark set for their desired courses, while Direct Entry candidates must provide verified diplomas or NCE credentials.
LASU utilizes a point-grading system for its screening, which evaluates the candidate's UTME score alongside their O'level results. High grades in core subjects like Mathematics, English, and the relevant sciences or arts subjects are crucial for securing a spot.
Technical Precautions During Registration
Candidates are advised to use stable internet connections when filling out the screening forms. The university cautioned against entering false grades, as any candidate caught with falsified results will be expelled, even if the error is discovered after admission has been granted.
