Direct Entry Requirements
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Guidance and Counseling if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
‘A’ Level passes or NCE in two (2) subjects plus the UTME requirements.
Direct Entry adds to the requirements rather than replacing them. Two A Level passes or an NCE qualify, but the five credits and the Mathematics pass still apply.
That phrase, plus the UTME requirements, is the one most often skipped by diploma and NCE holders.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into LASU for the 2026/2027 session, should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored 160 or above in your JAMB result.
