About LASU

LASU is a public university. The Lagos state assembly passed a legislature in 1983 that established LASU. The runs on the vision of achieving academic excellence and advancement in learning through research, teaching and learning.

LASU is located in Ojo Lagos state. The University has about 35,000 full time students.

How does LASU calculate their cut off marks?

LASU uses an aggregate score to determine students who are granted admission in a given year. This aggregate score is calculated from both your UTME and SSCE results. 

The UTME score constitutes 50% of the aggregate score and the O’level result equally constitutes 50%.

The particular subjects from your O’level that would be used to calculate this are your five main subjects (Which usually includes Mathematics, English and three other subjects)

To get the aggregate score, you have to divide your UTME score by 8 (400/8) to get the value for the first 50%.

So for example, if a student score 290 in his UTME, that reflects as 

290/8 = 36.25

This translates into 36.25% out of 50%

For the other 50%, the O’level results the following grading system is used.

S/NO’ Level GradePoint
1A110
2B29
3B38
4C47
5C56
6C65

The total is summed up and scored over 50.

For example, if a prospective medical student had the following result;

Mathematics- B2

English- A1

Physics- C4

Biology- B2

Chemistry- C5

His score is = 9+10+7+9+6= 41/50

The two scores (UTME and O’level) are added together to get the aggregate which is then used to determine the cut off mark.

Note that having anything below C6 in any of your 5 main subjects would disqualify you for participating in the screening exercise.

Books you should read to help you excel as an undergraduate student at LASU

It is not enough to have a university degree anymore to succeed in Nigeria. If you want to emerge from LASU or any other Nigerian University as a winner you need three key things;

  • Very high grades
  • Some work experience
  • Some money in your pocket
  • If possible a nice scholarship offer to further your studies abroad.

All these are possible with the right knowledge and exposure. I have gone to great lengths to bring you 3 e-books you must read to achieve these things while in school. I have also added two courses I am quite certain would help you both earn money and bag job opportunities while in school. 

If this sounds like something you are interested in then discover more details in the table below.
