Direct Entry (DE) Cut Off Marks
Here are the expected cut off marks for direct entry candidates applying to 200 level at LASUED:
OND Cut Off Point
- Lower Credit grade – 3.00 – 3.49 CGPA
NCE Cut Off Points
- Minimum of C grade or 60% average
- Credit pass in Education/Teaching Practice
JUPEB Cut Off Point

HND Cut Off Point
- Lower Credit or 3.00 – 3.49 CGPA
Direct entry applicants need to present original transcripts, not statements of results, to prove they meet these cutoffs. Direct Entry slots into LASUED are also very limited.
Postgraduate (PG) Cut Off Points
To be eligible for masters and PhD admission, here are the expected cut off classes for bachelor’s and master’s degrees:
Postgraduate Diploma (PGD)
- 3rd class/Pass division bachelor’s degree
Master’s Programs
- 2nd class lower bachelor’s degree
MBA

PhD
- 60% average master’s result
Meeting the stated PG cutoffs enhances your chances but does not guarantee automatic admission. Competition is stiff for limited postgraduate slots.
How are LASUED Cut Off Marks Calculated?
LASUED cut off marks are calculated by using a formula that combines the UTME score and the Post-UTME score of a candidate. The formula is as follows:
LASUED Cut Off Mark = (UTME Score / 8) + (Post-UTME Score / 2)
For example, if a candidate scored 200 in UTME and 50 in Post-UTME, then his or her LASUED cut off mark would be:
LASUED Cut Off Mark = (200 / 8) + (50 / 2) = 25 + 25 = 50
The higher the LASUED cut off mark of a candidate, the higher his or her chances of gaining admission into the university.
How LASUED Determines Cut Off Marks
Wondering how LASUED arrives at these admission cut off marks yearly? Here are key factors that influence the cutoff scores:
1. JAMB National Cut Off Marks
The national benchmark set by JAMB for all universities significantly impacts the program cut offs. If JAMB pegs minimum score at 200, LASUED will adjust accordingly.
2. Competitiveness of the Programs
Cut off marks are higher for programs with few slots compared to a large number of applicants. Highly sought-after courses like Law, Medicine, Engineering require very competitive cut off marks.
3. Availability of Facilities
Programs whose faculties or departments have limited facilities and resources will also set higher cut off to select the best candidates.
4. Previous Admission Trends
Statistics from prior admission exercises regarding scores and enrollment are used to determine new cut offs. Programs with a history of high scores will maintain similar cut offs.
5. LASUED Admission Quota
The admission slots allocated to each department by the management also affects cut off marks. Programs with small quotas set higher marks to fill limited spaces competitively.
6. Catchment Area Quota
Admission slots reserved for candidates from the catchment area around the university also impact cut off marks for other applicants.
These and other factors are used by the LASUED admission board to determine the acceptance score.
