LASU Aggregate Score Calculator 2026: JAMB, Post-UTME and O’Level Formula

Lagos State University runs its admission screening differently from most Nigerian universities. There is no written Post-UTME exam. Instead, LASU builds your aggregate score from two things only: your JAMB result and your O’Level grades. That makes your WAEC or NECO result far more important at LASU than it is almost anywhere else, since it carries a full 40 percent of your final aggregate.

This guide explains exactly how LASU calculates your aggregate, walks through a complete example, and gives you a free calculator above to check your own numbers right now.

LASU’s Official Aggregate Score Formula

LASU uses a 60:40 model between JAMB and O’Level results. There is no separate Post-UTME screening exam factored into the numerical aggregate.

• JAMB Score (60 percent): Your UTME result is multiplied by 0.15. Since JAMB is out of 400, this gives you a maximum of 60 points from the JAMB side.
• O’Level Result (40 percent): Your best five relevant subjects are converted into points on LASU’s grading scale, contributing a maximum of 40 points.

The O’Level grading scale LASU uses is:

• A1 = 8 points
• B2 = 7 points
• B3 = 6 points
• C4 = 5 points
• C5 = 4 points
• C6 = 3 points
• D7, E8, F9 = 0 points

Only grades of A1 through C6 count toward your aggregate. If you are combining results from two sittings (for example, WAEC plus NECO), LASU deducts 0.3 points from any subject that comes from your second sitting.

The formula written out:

Aggregate Score = (JAMB Score × 0.15) + (sum of points from your best 5 O’Level subjects)

The maximum possible aggregate is 100.

A Worked Example

Here is how the calculation looks with real figures:

• JAMB Score: 220
• O’Level Grades (best 5, first sitting): A1, B2, B3, C4, C5

1. JAMB portion: 220 × 0.15 equals 33.0
2. O’Level portion: 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 equals 30

Total Aggregate Score = 33.0 + 30 = 63.0 out of 100

This is a workable score for many LASU departments. For the most competitive programmes, such as Medicine, Law, and Nursing, candidates typically need noticeably higher aggregates to stand a realistic chance.

LASU’s JAMB Cut-Off Mark for 2026

Lagos State University’s general minimum JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 admission cycle is 195. Candidates who score below this will not be considered for LASU’s screening exercise.

To be eligible for LASU’s admission process, you need to meet all of the following:

• Score at least 195 in JAMB
• Select LASU as your first choice institution
• Hold the required O’Level credits in the subjects relevant to your course, including English Language and Mathematics

LASU does not admit candidates who chose it as a second choice, so the first-choice requirement is strict. The 195 cut-off is only the entry point into screening. The practical scores needed for most LASU programmes, particularly Medicine, Law, Nursing, and Engineering, run considerably higher.

Course-Specific Benchmarks at LASU

LASU does not officially publish departmental cut-off marks, and this has been the case for several admission cycles running. That means there is no definitive published list to check your course against. What follows is drawn from consistent patterns across recent admission cycles, and should be treated as a general guide rather than an official figure:

• Medicine and Surgery: Historically the most competitive faculty at LASU, with JAMB requirements well above the general cut-off and aggregates that need to sit near the top of the range
• Nursing: Also highly competitive; some guidance suggests a screening aggregate above 80 out of 100 to be realistically in contention
• Law: Generally requires a JAMB score of 220 and above to be competitive
• Mass Communication and Computer Science: Moderately competitive, typically requiring scores above the general 195 minimum
• Education, Arts, and Social Sciences: More accessible, closer to the general minimum, though competition still varies by department and by year

Because O’Level carries a full 40 percent of your LASU aggregate, a strong set of five credits can meaningfully lift a borderline JAMB score into a more competitive position, in a way that is not possible at universities where O’Level plays little or no numerical role.

Using This Calculator, Step by Step

1. Enter your JAMB score, out of a possible 400
2. Select the grades for your best five O’Level subjects
3. Tick “from second sitting” for any subject that came from a combined WAEC/NECO result
4. Press “Calculate My Aggregate Score” to see your result with a full breakdown

The calculator will flag it if your JAMB score falls below the 195 minimum, apply the second-sitting deduction where relevant, display your aggregate out of 100, and give you a colour-coded reading of where your score sits relative to typical LASU patterns.

What to Do After Calculating Your Score

Your aggregate positions you on a merit ranking against every other candidate who applied for the same course at LASU. Since LASU does not publish departmental cut-offs in advance, there is no single number to compare yourself against with certainty. The safest approach is to aim as high as possible on both components rather than trying to hit an exact target.

Because your O’Level result carries so much weight at LASU, this is often the area where candidates have the most room to improve their position after JAMB results are already out. If your grades include resits or a second sitting, remember that the small 0.3-point deduction per subject can add up if several of your best five come from a combined result.

If your aggregate still falls short after calculating, changing to a less competitive department at LASU, or exploring direct entry and pre-degree routes, are both worth looking into.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is LASU’s minimum JAMB cut-off mark for 2026?

Lagos State University’s general minimum JAMB cut-off mark for 2026/2027 is 195. Candidates below this score are not eligible for the screening exercise and will not be considered for admission in that cycle.

Does LASU conduct a written Post-UTME exam?

No. LASU does not conduct a written Post-UTME. Instead, it runs a screening exercise and builds your aggregate from your JAMB score and your O’Level results only.

Which O’Level grades count toward my LASU aggregate?

Only grades from A1 to C6 count. D7, E8, and F9 contribute zero points, even if the subject is otherwise relevant to your course.

What happens if my O’Level results come from two different sittings?

LASU allows you to combine results from two sittings, such as WAEC and NECO, but deducts 0.3 points from any subject in your best five that comes from the second sitting.

Does LASU accept second choice applications?

No. Lagos State University does not admit candidates who selected it as a second choice during JAMB registration. You must list LASU as your first choice institution to be eligible for admission consideration.

Does LASU publish departmental cut-off marks?

No. LASU has not published official departmental cut-off marks for several admission cycles. Course-specific figures in circulation are estimates based on patterns from past cycles, not official numbers from the university.
