  1. Can i apply into the Medical Laboratory Technology with diploma in Science Laboratory Technology? Thank you.

    1. You qualify to write post UTME. You can get admitted if you beat the cut-off mark. Prepare for success in your post UTME.

  2. With jamb score of 210 and olevel results with all credit passes can I still study medical laboratory science with this in unilag ?

    1. 210 qualifies you to write post UTME in Unilag. However, 210 is too low for Medical Laboratory Science in Unilag. The recommended score is 271 or more.

  3. As a part time,national diploma graduate with distinction in a polytechnic,will I be admitted for direct entry in Mls?

    1. The D.E requirements for MLS are
      Very good passes in the following JUPEB/A Level subjects: Physics, Chemistry and Biology.

      B.Sc Degree First Class/Second Class Upper in medically related fields.

  4. I am medical laboratories technician, I want to further my education, are they allow direct entry in unilag, or Eny institution,

      1. First you meet the requirements for D.E entry. Then you purchase the D.E from from JAMB.

      2. First you meet the requirements for D.E entry. Then you purchase the 2018 D.E from from JAMB.

        1. Dear Christiana the DE requirements for Medical Laboratory Science in Unilag are:
          1. Very good passes in the following JUPEB/A Level subjects: Physics, Chemistry and Biology.

          2. B.Sc Degree First Class/Second Class Upper in medically related fields.

    1. Yes Ariyo, Unilag allows D.E. for MLS but the requirements are:
      i) Very good passes in the following JUPEB/A Level subjects: Physics, Chemistry and Biology.

      ii) B.Sc Degree First Class/Second Class Upper in medically related fields.

    1. What are your O-Level results in English Language, Mathematics, Biology, Physics and Chemistry?

        1. You said you scored 257 in UTME so your UTME component is 257/8 = 32.13. Your O-level aggregate is 14.4.

          So your current total score is 46.53.

          Given that the 2017 merit cutoff for Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) is 67.65 you need 22/30 or more in your Unilag post UTME to have a good chance of making the merit list for MLS this 2018.

  5. what’s about using a two sitting… does it qualifies me with a jamb score of 219 to write their post utme

  6. I graduated from University of Lagos in 2002 with Final Diploma in Science Lab. Technology Chemistry/Biochemistry option.

    Can i apply to study Medical Lab. Science?

    1. Diplomat in Science Lag it not a published requirement for direct entry admission into Medical Lab. Science.

  7. Good day sir, I had 280 in JAMB
    My O level results in my 5 compulsory subjects goes thus:
    maths: C6
    English:C4
    Physics:C4
    Biology:B2
    Chemistry:B3
    And I had a score of 23 points in Post JAMB.
    sir, what are my chances of being admitted for MLS?

    1. Your O-level aggregate is 14.4/20. UTME is 35/50. Your aggregate score is 14.4 + 35 + 23 = 72.4 points. Your chances are slim if you are from a catchment area state or ELDS.

  8. Hello Lagtutor,
    I have IJMB: Physics (C), Chemistry (C) and Biology (C); O’level: Eng. (C6), Maths (B3), Bio.(B3), Chem.(C6) and Phy (C4). Am I qualified for MLS direct entry admission? Thanks.

    1. Unilag recognises JUPEB. IJMB is not published as a means of direct entry into Unilag. However, your O-level results meet the O-level requirements for MLS.

    1. Dear Azeezat your requirement is B.Sc Degree First Class/Second Class Upper in medically related fields.

  9. i know the requirement for DE is 2nd class upper but i have a 2nd class lower, do you know if i still have a shot?

    1. Dear Juliana you need 28.5/30 in your Unilag post UTME for a good chance of making the merit list for MLS.

      If you want a realistic advice you can change institution. But if you want to stick with Unilag I advice you change to a course for which you meet the specific subject requirements and for which with a score of 16/30 in your post UTME you will stand a good chance of making the merit list.

      You can begin practicing for Unilag post UTME. We have an Android App that has a computer based section that will help you. Get the App on Google play store at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lagtutor.android.lagtutorapp

  37. Good day sir I am Pretty I scored 205 in my jamb and applied for MLS though waec results is not yet out please wat are my chances of getting admission or should I do change of course and if am to do it to what course please I really need the advice sir

    1. With 205 you qualify to write post UTME in Unilag so prepare to score as high as possible there. However, you cannot make a decision as whether to change course until you see your O-level result. You can chat me on WhatsApp on 08092327228.
