LASUSTECH Post UTME Form 2026 is Out — Apply Now, Cut Off is 195

Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH), Ikorodu, Lagos State, has officially released its Post UTME and Direct Entry screening form for the 2026/2027 academic session. The form is out, confirmed, and the admission portal is live register here. LASUSTECH is one of the fastest-rising state universities in Nigeria, having been upgraded from Lagos State Polytechnic (LASPOTECH) — which itself was formerly Lagos State College of Science and Technology (LACOSTECH) — to a full university. The institution was established in 1977 and is located in Ikorodu, Lagos State.

The cut-off mark is 195 and the form costs N10,000, non-refundable. For many candidates, these two figures are the most striking things about LASUSTECH's Post UTME process — and rightfully so. A cut-off of 195 places LASUSTECH firmly among the most competitive state institutions in the country, and the N10,000 form fee is significantly higher than the N2,000 standard at most federal universities.

Is the LASUSTECH Post UTME Form Out for 2026?

Yes. The Lagos State University of Science and Technology Post UTME and Direct Entry screening form for the 2026/2027 academic session is officially out and confirmed available. The admission portal is live and accepting applications from all eligible candidates. Whether you have been asking if the LASUSTECH form is out, whether post UTME registration is ongoing, or whether you can still apply, the answer to all three is yes.

How Much is the LASUSTECH Admission Form?

The LASUSTECH Post UTME screening form for the 2026/2027 session costs N10,000, non-refundable. This is paid exclusively through the official LASUSTECH admission portal using a Master Card or VISA internet-enabled debit card (ATM card). Bank transfers, cash deposits, and third-party payments are not accepted. The N10,000 covers the cost of the online screening registration only. It does not include acceptance fee, school fees, or any other university charge. Candidates who pay and later discover they are ineligible will not receive a refund. Verify your eligibility fully before proceeding to payment.

What is the Cut Off Mark for LASUSTECH?

The general JAMB cut-off mark for LASUSTECH for the 2026/2027 academic session is 195. This is confirmed. Candidates who scored below 195 in the 2026 UTME are automatically ineligible for the LASUSTECH Post UTME screening and cannot purchase the form, regardless of their O'Level grades or any other factor.

LASUSTECH does not publicly release a detailed departmental cut-off list for most programmes. The general minimum of 195 applies across the institution. However, highly competitive programmes such as Computer Science, Engineering, and Business-related courses attract higher effective aggregate scores in practice because competition for spaces is intense.

Historically, candidates with scores of 210 and above have a significantly stronger chance of admission into Engineering and Computing courses. For Management Sciences and Social Sciences, the effective competitive range is typically 200 to 210.

Does LASUSTECH Write Post UTME or Screening?

LASUSTECH conducts a strictly online admission screening exercise. There is no physical CBT test, no examination hall, and no campus visit required for the screening itself. The entire process is done through the official LASUSTECH admission portal. Candidates log in, pay the N10,000 fee, upload their credentials, and submit their application. The screening assesses candidates based on their JAMB score and O'Level results using a Point-Based System.

This is a significant practical benefit — candidates can complete the entire application from any location with internet access. However, once admission is offered and accepted, fresh students must visit the Ikorodu campus for physical screening and clearance before registration.

The SOVE Requirement — A Rule Many Lagos Candidates Miss

One of the most unique and frequently misunderstood aspects of LASUSTECH admission is the State of Origin Verification Exercise (SOVE). This is a separate process specific to Lagos State origin candidates.

Here is how it works: Only candidates who have proven their Lagos State origin through the SOVE process set up by LASUSTECH will be allowed to participate in the online screening exercise as Lagos State indigenes. This distinction matters significantly because Lagos State indigenes pay a subsidised tuition rate, while non-indigenes pay a higher rate.

Lagos State Direct Entry candidates who are Lagos indigenes must also email their JAMB registration slip to the SOVE committee to activate their indigene status in the portal. Candidates who fail to complete this verification will have their application automatically processed under the non-indigene tuition bracket, which carries a higher fee.

If you are a Lagos State indigene, monitor your email carefully after submitting your LASUSTECH application and respond promptly to any SOVE-related communications. Missing this process cannot be undone after the screening window closes.

LASUSTECH Post UTME Aggregate Formula

LASUSTECH uses a Point-Based Grading System for its online screening, not the simple JAMB-divided-by-8 formula used by most federal universities. Under this system:

  • Points are assigned based on O'Level grades in the required subjects for each course
  • Higher grades attract more points
  • Your JAMB score contributes directly to your overall ranking
  • Candidates are ranked by their combined performance — JAMB score plus O'Level point allocation — and admission goes to the highest-ranked candidates until spaces are filled

A practical implication: a candidate with A1 and B2 grades in all five relevant O'Level subjects has a meaningful advantage over a candidate with the same JAMB score but C6 grades across the board. Strong O'Level performance directly improves your ranking at LASUSTECH.

Who is Eligible to Apply for LASUSTECH Post UTME 2026?

The eligibility requirements for LASUSTECH 2026/2027 are stricter than at most Nigerian universities. You must meet every single one of the following to be eligible:

  • Chose LASUSTECH as your first-choice institution on JAMB. Second-choice candidates are not considered
  • Scored a minimum of 195 in the 2026 UTME
  • Possess at least five O'Level credit passes in relevant subjects including Mathematics and English Language, in not more than two sittings, from WAEC or NECO only
  • Have your O'Level results confirmed and uploaded on JAMB CAPS before applying. Awaiting results are not accepted
  • NABTEB results are not accepted under any circumstances
  • Lagos State origin candidates must have completed or be in the process of completing the SOVE indigene verification exercise
  • Be at least 16 years of age by the stipulated deadline
  • Direct Entry candidates must hold a minimum of Upper Credit in their OND or HND qualification. Lower Credit and Pass grades are strictly rejected

Candidates who do not meet any one of these conditions are automatically ineligible. The portal checks eligibility before allowing payment to proceed.
