The Ultimate Guide to LASU Course Registration for New Students (Year 2026)
If you have just been admitted to Lagos State University (LASU), one of the first things you will need to understand is how to use the university’s online services. From checking admission information and making payments to completing course registration and accessing results, a large part of the student administration process now happens online.
This guide brings the main LASU portal processes together in one place. I have also included links to LASU’s official platforms so that you can verify important information directly with the university before making a payment or submitting any document.
General Admission Requirement / JAMB Brochure For Federal University, Lokoja, Kogi State – Updated 2026
If you are planning to apply to the Federal University, Lokoja (FUL), one of the first things you should check is the JAMB brochure for your intended course. It is easy to look at a list of courses and assume that meeting the general admission requirements is enough, but that is not always the case. The required O’Level subjects, UTME combination and Direct Entry qualifications can differ from one programme to another.
This guide explains what prospective FULOKOJA students should check before applying, where to find the current admission requirements, and how to avoid relying on old course lists or admission information that may no longer apply.
(University of Ibadan) UI Undergraduate Admission Cut-Off Marks (2018–2026)

By studying these trends, you can realistically calculate your chances and understand how competitive your chosen course is.
Historical Cut-Off Data (2016–2026)
The first document I am sharing is a comprehensive compilation of cut-off marks from 2016 to 2026.
Acknowledgment: A big thank you to our brother, Sam, who compiled this document. It saves us all a lot of time by organizing years of data into a single view.
Key Trends to Observe:
The “COVID Gap”: You will notice there is no data for 2020. Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, the academic session was cancelled entirely, and no admission process took place.
The Medicine Factor: Over the years, Medicine and Surgery has consistently held the highest cut-off. It ranges from a low of 76.25 (in 2021) to a high of 79 (in 2023).
Top Competitive Courses: Medicine is usually followed closely by Dentistry, Law, Medical Laboratory Science, and various Engineering disciplines.
Newly Introduced Courses
If you see “Nill” or a blank space for certain years, it usually means the course was not yet introduced.
Recently, the Faculty of Economics and Management Sciences introduced several new programs. Because they are new, their cut-off marks have started relatively low (around 50–55):
Accounting
Banking and Finance
Marketing and Consumer Studies
Other new additions include Automotive Engineering (Faculty of Technology) and Business Education (introduced in 2022).
Understanding the 2026 Cut-Off Marks
The 2024 data is presented slightly differently, with three columns for Merit, Catchment, and ELDS (Educationally Less Developed States).
| Category | Description |
| Merit | The standard score everyone should aim for to guarantee admission. |
| Catchment | Lowered scores for candidates from specific geographical areas linked to the school. |
| ELDS | Lowered scores for candidates from states identified as educationally disadvantaged. |
Important Advice: As a matter of necessity, aim for the Merit cut-off. In many departments (like Linguistics), the difference between Merit and Catchment is often zero or very minimal. If a course has a cut-off of 50, it often means the department hasn’t even filled its quota yet.
Here is the extracted data from the provided PDF organized into a structured table. This covers the University of Ibadan undergraduate admission cut-off marks for various programs from 2016 through 2023.

Transfer and Less Competitive Courses
If you do not meet the cut-off for a highly competitive course (like Medicine), but you have the right subject combination (English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics), the Admission Office may transfer you to a less competitive course with the same requirements.
This is at the discretion of the university, but having these documents helps you see which “50-point” courses might be available as alternatives.
