Does LASU Accept NECO Mathematics?

Yes, LASU accepts NECO Mathematics as part of its O’Level requirements for admission—provided it meets the subject and grade requirements for your intended course of study.

NECO (National Examinations Council) is a recognized and approved examination body in Nigeria, just like WAEC. As a state university, Lagos State University accepts O’Level results from:

• WAEC (West African Examinations Council)
• NECO (National Examinations Council)
• NABTEB (National Business and Technical Examinations Board)

So, if you sat for NECO Mathematics and passed with the required grade, you are qualified to use it for your LASU admission application.

LASU Admission Requirements – O’Level Overview

To be eligible for admission into LASU, you must meet the following O’Level criteria:

Minimum Requirements:

• Five (5) credit passes, including Mathematics and English Language
• Must be obtained in no more than two sittings
• The required subjects must be relevant to the chosen course

Example:

If you’re applying for Engineering, your O’Level subjects must include:

• Mathematics (NECO accepted)
• English Language
• Physics
• Chemistry
• One other science subject (e.g., Biology or Technical Drawing)

For courses in the Arts or Social Sciences, Mathematics may still be compulsory (e.g., for Economics or Accounting), but the subject combination will differ.

Courses That Require NECO Mathematics at LASU

Mathematics is required for nearly all courses at LASU except a few in the Arts and Humanities. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Courses That Require LASU NECO Mathematics:

• Engineering (All Fields)
• Computer Science
• Accounting
• Business Administration
• Medicine and Surgery
• Economics
• Microbiology
• Political Science
• Psychology
• Law
• Education (Science and Social Science Options)

Courses Where Mathematics May Not Be Compulsory (But Still Preferred):

• Theatre Arts
• English Language
• History and International Studies
• Philosophy
• Yoruba Studies
• Islamic Studies

Even in these exceptions, Mathematics may still be required for general university admission compliance, so it’s safer to have it.

Can I Combine WAEC and NECO for LASU Admission?

Yes, LASU allows combining of WAEC and NECO results—as long as you do not exceed two sittings.

For example:

• You can combine WAEC 2022 + NECO 2023
• Or NECO 2021 + NECO 2022
• But not NECO + NABTEB (LASU doesn’t allow WAEC/NECO + NABTEB combinations)

So, if you had a D7 or F9 in Mathematics in WAEC but scored a Credit in NECO, you’re still eligible by combining both results.

Sample LASU Admission Scenario with NECO Mathematics

Scenario:
A candidate applying for Computer Science at LASU has the following:

• WAEC:
  • English Language – C6
  • Physics – B3
  • Chemistry – C5
  • Biology – B2
  • Mathematics – D7
• NECO:
  • Mathematics – C5

Eligibility: YES, this student can combine both results and apply for Computer Science at LASU, as the required subjects (including Mathematics) are covered across the two sittings.

When to Upload NECO Results on LASU Portal

LASU usually opens its admission portal after the release of UTME (JAMB) results. At this stage, students are required to upload their O’Level results (WAEC or NECO) to:

LASU Admission Portal: https://lasu.edu.ng Or directly on the JAMB CAPS Portal

If your NECO result isn’t available during UTME registration, ensure you upload it immediately upon release, and before LASU begins admission screening.

Important LASU Admission Tips If You’re Using NECO

1. Use the correct subject combination for your course.
2. Ensure your NECO result is valid and uploaded on time.
3. Meet or exceed the LASU cut-off mark for your course (usually announced post-UTME).
4. Participate in LASU screening—the university uses a screening-based admission method, not post-UTME exams.
5. Check admission status frequently on both LASU and JAMB portals.
