LASU Direct Entry Past Questions and Answers

Securing admission into a Nigerian university is a battle, but securing admission into the Lagos State University (LASU) via Direct Entry (DE) is a strategic military campaign. As a Direct Entry candidate, you are not a novice. You have already tasted the rigors of higher education—be it through a National Diploma (ND), NCE, IJMB, JUPEB, or a First Degree. You are coming in to skip the “fresher” chaos of 100 Level and dive straight into 200 Level.

However, the “University of First Choice and the Nation’s Pride” does not hand out admissions easily. Thousands of diploma holders apply every year, but only a fraction get in. Why? Because many assume their A’Level results are enough. They forget the final hurdle: The Screening Exercise.

Whether LASU decides to use a purely point-based grading system or administers a Computer Based Test (CBT) for your specific session, one thing remains constant: Preparedness separates the admitted from the rejected.

“Success occurs when opportunity meets preparation. Your Diploma is the opportunity; the Manny Spark Past Questions guide is the preparation.” — Dr. Manny

This article is not just a sales pitch; it is an educational resource designed to guide you through the geography of LASU, the psychology of its exams, and the academic requirements you must meet.

About Lagos State University (LASU): Locations and Culture

Before you write the exam, you must understand the terrain. LASU is unique because it operates a multi-campus system. Knowing where your faculty is located is crucial for your interview or physical screening.

The Ojo Main Campus

Located along the busy Lagos-Badagry Expressway, Ojo, this is the administrative headquarters.

• Who is here? Faculties of Arts, Education, Law, Social Sciences, Science, Management Sciences, and Transport.

• Key Landmarks: The Babatunde Raji Fashola Senate Building, the fervent “Student Union Arcade,” and the massive bubbling Main Library.

• Vibe: It is intense, political, and academic. The hustle here is real.

The Epe Campus

Located in the serene, green lands of Epe.

• Who is here? The Faculty of Engineering and the School of Agriculture.

• Facilities: Extensive workshops for mechanical and civil engineering, and large farmlands for agric students.

• Vibe: Quiet, focused, and communal. It’s far from the Lagos noise, allowing for deep study.

The Ikeja Campus (LASUCOM)

Located inside the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja.

• Who is here? The College of Medicine.

• Vibe: Professional and clinical. This is where the doctors are made.

Takeaway: Don’t go to Ojo if you are applying for Medicine. Know your campus!

Why LASU Direct Entry is Highly Competitive

LASU is arguably the most preferred state university in Nigeria. Here is why the competition is fierce:

1. Stable Calendar: In a country plagued by strikes, LASU has maintained a relatively stable academic calendar under recent administrations.

2. Lagos State Indigene Quota: A significant percentage of slots are reserved for indigenes. If you are a non-indigene, you are fighting for a smaller slice of the pie, making high scores in screening non-negotiable.

3. Low Tuition: Compared to private universities or even some other state universities, LASU offers world-class education at a very affordable rate.

The LASU Screening Mode: CBT vs. Point Grading

This is the most common question we get at Manny Spark: “Doc Manny, will I write an exam?”

The Hybrid Reality:

In recent years, LASU has utilized a Point Grading System for the majority of candidates. This means they calculate a score based on your O’Level grades (A1=10 marks, etc.) and your Direct Entry transcript/result.

HOWEVER, an aptitude test or “Oral Screening” is frequently introduced for:

1. High-Competition Courses: Medicine, Nursing, and Law candidates often face a secondary check to thin the herd.

2. Scholarship Candidates: If you are applying for specialized scholars’ programs.

3. Borderline Cases: When two candidates have the same point score, an interview determines who gets the slot.

Furthermore, General Knowledge (Current Affairs) about Lagos State and LASU is often asked during the physical clearance/interview stage.

Takeaway: You cannot afford to assume there will be no test. Even if it is just a point system, the “Past Questions” we provide include the Logic and Interview questions asked during the physical verification stages.

How to Calculate Your Screening Point

If LASU uses the grading system, here is how you can estimate your chances using our simplified table.

• Formula: Aggregate your 5 core O’Level subjects (Max 50 points) + Your Direct Entry Grade Score (Max 50 points) = Total 100%.

• Manny Spark Tip: If you have C6s in your core subjects, your chances drop significantly. DE is for high flyers!

Strategic Study Plan for Direct Entry Candidates

To get the most out of the Manny Spark LASU DE Pack:

1. Phase 1: Knowledge of Self (Week 1): Review your own field. If you are a Law student, go back to your Government and Literature textbooks. If Engineering, brush up on Physics formulas.

2. Phase 2: The Manny Spark Drill (Week 2): Take the sample tests in our book without checking the answers. Time yourself.

3. Phase 3: Current Affairs (Week 3): Read up on Lagos State history. Know the commissioners, the geography, and the history of LASU.

4. Phase 4: Document Perfection: Ensure your transcript is ready. Many DE students fail not because of the exam, but because their previous school failed to send their transcript to LASU on time.
