Important Admission Secrets for 2026/2027

To secure admission into LASUSTECH (Old LASPOTECH), you need to understand the “University” strategy:

1. The JAMB Name Change

• Crucial Step: You must choose Lagos State University of Science and Technology on your JAMB portal. If you search for “Lagos State Polytechnic,” you may not find valid courses for the current session.

2. Cut-Off Mark Reality

• University Standard: The cut-off mark is no longer the “120” used for polytechnics. As a university, the general cut-off is typically 180 – 190.

• Indigene Quota: As a Lagos State-owned university, 70% of admissions are reserved for Lagos State indigenes (those who can prove their origin). If you are a non-indigene, you need a very high JAMB score to compete for the remaining 30%.

3. Direct Entry (DE) for HND/ND Holders

• The Bridge: If you already have an ND or HND, apply for Direct Entry.

• Requirement: You generally need a minimum of Upper Credit in your ND/HND to be considered for admission into the 200 Level. Lower-credit holders may have a harder time unless they have professional certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is LASPOTECH still giving admission for ND? No. The National Diploma (ND) programme has been phased out for fresh full-time applicants. You are applying for a Degree (B.Sc.).
