Are you a prospective student eager to secure admission into Lagos State University but facing challenges with your O’Level results? Look no further! Lagos State University is inviting suitably qualified candidates to apply for its Pre-Degree Studies (PDS) Programme, set to commence in October 2023.
1. Overview of the PDS Program:
The Lagos State University Pre-Degree Studies Programme is designed to address deficiencies in O’Level results, preparing candidates for successful re-sitting of exams and the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). The one-year intensive program, running from October 2023 to September 2024, is hosted at the Lagos State University Epe Campus.
2. Why Opt for Pre-Degree Studies?
Candidates enrolled in the PDS program enjoy a unique advantage. While traditional JAMB applicants may face stiff competition, PDS students who pass their JAMB exams secure admission through the PDS quota provided by the university.
3. Admission Requirements:
To be eligible for the PDS Programme, candidates must have credits in at least three subjects, including Mathematics, English Language, and other relevant subjects, in the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination, GCE, or NECO, with not more than two sittings. Successful candidates will be invited for a qualifying examination covering subjects such as Mathematics, English Language, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and more.
4. Criteria for Transitioning to 100 Level:
Upon successful completion of the PDS Programme, candidates are required to sit for the UTME and attain the minimum JAMB Cut Off Mark for University Admission. Additionally, candidates with O’Level deficiencies are expected to register for WAEC and/or NECO, passing all relevant subjects. Successful candidates can then transition to 100 Level courses in various faculties, including Engineering, Science, Management Sciences, Education, Social Sciences, Law, Agriculture, and more.
5. Current Performance:
The success of the 2022 PDS candidates in the UTME underscores the effectiveness of the program. An impressive 85% of candidates scored 200 and above, with two achieving scores well above 300.
6. Method of Application:
Prospective candidates can apply online by visiting www.lasu.edu.ng, selecting the “MAKE PAYMENT” option, and making the required payment of Fifteen Thousand Naira (N15,000:00) for the 2023/2024 LASU Pre-Degree Studies. After payment, candidates should proceed to complete the online registration.
7. Closing Date:
The application window will be open for six weeks from the date of this publication, providing ample time for interested candidates to apply.
8. Qualifying Examination and Interview:
The qualifying examination and interview for successful candidates are scheduled to take place at a later date.
