Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH), Ikorodu, opened its 2026/2027 Post-UTME and Direct Entry screening on its official portal, with registration closing Friday, 31 July 2026. The general cut-off mark is 195, one of the highest among Nigerian state universities, and the screening fee is ₦10,000, non-refundable. Screening is conducted entirely online; there is no written exam, CBT, or campus visit required. This guide covers the full eligibility criteria, exact fee and payment methods, and step-by-step application process.

Important: Don’t Confuse LASUSTECH With LASU

LASUSTECH and LASU (Lagos State University, in Ojo) are two completely separate Lagos State-owned institutions, and content online frequently mixes the two up given the similar naming. LASUSTECH, based in Ikorodu, traces its roots to 1977 as Lagos State College of Science and Technology (LACOSTECH), later became Lagos State Polytechnic (LASPOTECH), and has since been upgraded to full university status as LASUSTECH. Confirm you’re specifically checking LASUSTECH’s own portal and cut-off figures, not LASU’s, before applying.

This distinction matters practically, not just academically: the two universities have different cut-off marks (LASU sits at 195 as well, but historically LASUSTECH’s fee and screening structure has differed meaningfully from LASU’s), different application portals, and different specific requirements like the SOVC/SOVE step described below. Mixing up guidance intended for one institution while applying to the other risks a genuinely avoidable mistake.

Eligibility Requirements

• You must have chosen LASUSTECH as your first-choice institution in the 2026 UTME, scoring 195 or above.
• A minimum of five O’Level credits in relevant subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, in not more than two sittings from WAEC or NECO specifically; NABTEB results are not accepted for this cycle.
• Direct Entry candidates need a valid 2026 JAMB DE form and relevant qualifying credentials.
• Lagos State indigene applicants must first complete the State of Origin Verification exercise (SOVC/SOVE) before being considered for admission; this is a specific, mandatory extra step beyond the standard application.
• Confirmed O’Level results uploaded to your JAMB CAPS profile, matching exactly what you enter on the LASUSTECH portal.

Documents to Prepare

• Your 2026 UTME result slip.
• O’Level results (WAEC or NECO) uploaded to your JAMB CAPS profile.
• Direct Entry qualifying certificate for DE candidates specifically.
• SOVC/SOVE verification confirmation for Lagos State indigene applicants.
• A valid email address and active phone number, since these are used throughout the process.

Screening Fee and Payment Method

The screening fee is ₦10,000, non-refundable, notably higher than many other Nigerian universities’ Post-UTME fees, so budget for it specifically. Payment must be made strictly via a Mastercard or Visa internet-enabled debit card through the official admission portal; bank transfers and cash deposits are not accepted. Prepare your card details in advance, since the entire registration process is designed to be completed in one online session.

Why There’s No Exam to Prepare For

LASUSTECH runs its Post-UTME screening entirely online, and document-based candidates are ranked using a combination of their 2026 UTME score and verified O’Level results, with no written or computer-based test to sit for. If you’re searching for a “screening date” expecting an exam timetable, that’s not how this particular university’s process works. This also means there’s no in-person exam performance to offset a documentation error, so accuracy across your JAMB and LASUSTECH profiles matters more than usual. Double-check that your name, O’Level grades, and personal details are entered identically across both platforms before final submission.

How to Apply

1. Visit the official portal at admission.lasustech.edu.ng directly; don’t use unofficial links or agents.

2. Click the 2026/2027 undergraduate screening link and create a candidate profile using your 2026 JAMB Registration Number, or log in if you’re a returning applicant.

3. Generate your transaction invoice and pay the ₦10,000 screening fee using a Mastercard or Visa debit card.

4. Complete your bio-data and academic details, ensuring everything matches your JAMB profile exactly.

5. Lagos State indigenes should also complete the SOVC/SOVE verification exercise before or alongside their application, since this is a separate mandatory requirement.

6. Submit and print your confirmation slip before the 31 July 2026 closing date.

The Cut-Off Mark in Context

195 is the general eligibility threshold, consistently confirmed in LASUSTECH’s own admission announcements. Meeting this score qualifies you for screening; it doesn’t guarantee admission, as some competitive programmes within the Engineering, Environmental Studies, Sciences, Computer disciplines, and Management faculties may require higher aggregate performance once all candidates are ranked. Since there’s no exam to boost a marginal score, candidates sitting right at 195 should treat the accuracy and completeness of their documentation as their single biggest lever for a competitive outcome.
