Marketing at LASU

For Marketing, applicants often focus on the admission score and overlook the commercial or social-science subjects that actually make the O’Level and UTME combination valid. Use this page to check the subjects first, then check the current screening rule for LASU.

What you need before you apply

This page is a course-specific requirement guide, not an admission guarantee. It separates the stable academic requirement from changing items such as screening dates, current cut-off scores and whether an application portal is open.

O’Level requirement

Five O/Level credit passes including English Language, Mathematics and any other three from Marketing, Economics, Commerce, Accounts, Book Keeping, Geography, Government, Business Methods and Civic Education.

Read that requirement literally. A candidate can have five or more credits and still be ineligible if one compulsory subject is missing or if the result combination falls outside the subjects accepted for this course.

UTME subject combination

English Language and Mathematics, plus any other two relevant subjects.

The UTME combination and the O’Level credits solve different parts of eligibility. Meeting one does not cancel a problem with the other. Confirm both before a change of institution or course.

Direct Entry, HND or higher-entry route

The official LASU Marketing handbook lists two A-Level passes chosen from relevant business/social-science subjects and notes that LASU Diploma and LASU Foundation routes may be accepted for Direct Entry.

Higher-entry qualifications are course-specific. An ND, HND, NCE, JUPEB or A-Level result that is accepted for one programme should not be assumed to qualify you for another programme with a similar name.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Economics, Accounting and Commerce are not interchangeable in every programme.
• Where the institution lists an ND route, confirm both the discipline and the minimum classification.
• Keep English Language and Mathematics in view even where the course is not science-based.

Before paying for an application

• Match every compulsory O’Level subject against the result you will upload.
• Confirm the UTME or Direct Entry route for the current session.
• Check whether the institution must be your first choice before screening.
• Confirm that the programme is currently accepting applications; a permanent course page does not mean the form is open today.
• Use only the institution’s official payment and application portal.

Source note: This immediate baseline is from the official LASU Marketing undergraduate handbook. The live LASU checker is still the preferred current source and is synced separately.

Official verification

LAG Institutes uses the official institution source for the academic requirement and keeps short-term admission notices separate. If the institution publishes a newer requirement, the newer official instruction takes priority.

How to use this requirement in the current admission cycle

LASU's course checker gives the programme-specific O'Level and UTME subject pattern, while the current screening portal controls the live admission exercise. For 2026/2027 the screening portal requires LASU as first choice, a minimum UTME score of 195 for UTME candidates, the O'Level result on JAMB CAPS and the appropriate UTME/Direct Entry category. Treat the course requirement and the screening rule as two separate checks: you need both.

Before a change of course, compare your actual result line by line with the compulsory subjects. Do not assume a higher UTME score repairs a missing O'Level subject, and do not assume an ND, HND, NCE or JUPEB qualification accepted by one department is accepted by another. Where the Direct Entry paragraph is broad, use the current JAMB brochure and the institution's screening portal before submitting credentials.
