How LASUED Admission Works
Admission into LASUED is not based on JAMB scores alone. Other key factors include:
- Post-UTME results
- O’Level results (WAEC, NECO, NABTEB)
- Aggregate score calculation
How to Calculate LASUED Aggregate Score
LASUED uses a method similar to other Nigerian universities:
- JAMB score Ă· 8
- Post-UTME score Ă· 2
- Add both results together
Example:
- JAMB score = 200 → 200 ÷ 8 = 25
- Post-UTME score = 60 → 60 ÷ 2 = 30
- Aggregate score = 55
👉 If your aggregate meets or surpasses the departmental cut-off for your course, your admission chances are high.
Tips to Boost Your Admission Chances at LASUED
✔️ Score above the minimum cut-off – Aim higher than the exact cut-off mark, especially in competitive courses.
✔️ Prepare well for Post-UTME – A strong Post-UTME score can make up for a weaker JAMB score.
✔️ Upload your O’Level results – Ensure your results are uploaded to the JAMB portal; missing results can disqualify you.
✔️ Choose courses wisely – If your JAMB score is low, apply for less competitive programs.
✔️ Stay updated – Regularly check LASUED’s official portal and JAMB CAPS for updates.
