What is Post-UTME?
Post UTME (Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination) is a screening exercise conducted by Nigerian universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education after JAMB UTME. It is used to further assess candidates seeking admission.
The exam usually includes questions based on subjects relevant to the candidate’s chosen course, as well as general knowledge or aptitude tests. Some institutions conduct written exams, while others use online screening or verification of results and documents. Post UTME helps schools select qualified candidates, ensuring merit-based admission.
To participate, candidates must meet the institution’s cut-off mark, register, and pay the screening fee. Performing well in Post UTME increases your chances of getting admission into your desired institution and course.

LASU Cut-off Mark and Admission Considerations
General Cut-off
The general cut-off mark for LASU admission in 2025 is 195. This means candidates who scored 195 and above in their UTME are eligible to apply for the LASU Post-UTME screening. However, it is important to note that meeting this general cut-off does not guarantee admission.
Each course has its own departmental cut-off mark, which is often higher than the general cut-off. Competitive courses like Law, Medicine, Nursing, and Engineering usually have cut-off marks from 200 to 250 and above, depending on the number of applicants and available slots.
Candidates are therefore advised to check the departmental cut-off mark for their chosen course before applying. Also, LASU considers other factors such as O’level grades, catchment area, and performance in the Post-UTME screening for final admission decisions.
To stand out, candidates should aim for scores far above the general cut-off to boost their chances.
Departmental Cut-off Marks
For example:
- Medicine: 260 and above
- Law: 240 and above
- Mass Communication: 220 and above
- Accounting: 230 and above
These scores combine your UTME and post-UTME performance, alongside O’level grades, to rank candidates for admission.
