Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH) has announced 195 as the official cut off mark for the 2026/2027 admission exercise. Candidates who scored at least 195 in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and selected LASUSTECH as their first choice are eligible to participate in the university's Post UTME screening exercise.
Meeting the minimum cut off mark allows candidates to apply for admission, but it does not guarantee admission into every course. Highly competitive programmes usually require much higher aggregate scores because admission is based on merit, available spaces and candidates' overall performance.
