1. I had 51% in jamb ,and d course is 67.55 ,can i still apply

   1. How did you score 51% in JAMB?

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

   1. No. The D.E Requirements for Medical Laboratory Science are as specified above.

      1. Good day,I have 222 in jamb can I still apply

         1. Yes you can apply but 222 is low for MLS. Your chances are very slim.

   2. Am with Diploma in Science Laboratory Technology can I apply in Science Laboratory Technology in Unilag

      1. No.

3. I got 202 in jamb ….will i be admitted??

   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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

      1. please can Hnd in science laboratory technology apply for MLS

         1. No.

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

   1. how can I apply, medical laboratories technician direct entry

      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.

      3. Am a slt student want to do direct entry wat are d requirements I need pls

         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.

   2. 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.

7. When can one apply for the direct entry into MLS in unilag and how

   1. Go buy a direct entry form from JAMB and apply.

8. can I appky for mls with my jupeb result this year

   1. Yes you can.

9. I got 194 will I be admitted

   1. No. You must score 200 and above to qualify for Unilag post UTME.

10. I have 257 in jamb, can I still go for mls or I should change course

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

       1. English b3, mathematics b2, biology c5, Chemistry c6, physics b3

          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.

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

    1. No.

       Unilag accepts O-level results made at ONE SITTING only.

12. jamb score 280
    o level results
    maths b3
    English c5
    biology D7
    chemistry C6
    physics C5

    1. You must have Biology to be admitted into MLS.

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

15. 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.

       1. How many points exactly must one get to be admitted into MLS on merit?

          1. 70 points should be enough. See: http://lagtutor.com/unilag_cutoffs.php

16. 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. Thanks LagT.

17. Good day lagtutor, I had 10 points in JUPEB, will I be admitted into unilag for MLS?

    1. I can’t say. It is the school admissions committee that can determine that.

18. hi….I am a graduate of medical laboratory Technician and I want to apply D.E to Mls in unilag…what are my requirements

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

       1. Can I do part time on med lab

          1. Not for undergraduate studies.

19. 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. You can try.

20. Cutoff mark for MLS is 71.4, my aggregate is 70.65, I’m from Anambra state.What are my chances?

    Pls help me
    Am stressed out already

    Am thinking of changing institution and course entirely.

    Pls what are my chances in unilag
    Or what do you advice me to do.
    Pls am in need of help
    Didn’t know something like this is here

    Thanks sir

    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

72. 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.

       LagTutor

73. Can I apply for mlst with
    Mathematics b3
    English c4
    Chemistry b2
    Physics b3
    Biology b3 in waec One sitting
    I had 196 in jamb

    1. No you can’t because you scored less than 200 in JAMB (UTME).

74. Is there a chance of me applying for mls in unilag i got 200 in jamb and 12.4 in waec need your advise

    1. Your current aggregate is 37.4/70. Based on the 2020 merit cutoff mark for MLS of 73.1 you need like 36 more points to make it for MLS in Unilag. But you only have 30 points to get in post UTME.

       See: https://lagtutor.com/unilag-cutoffs.php

75. Is there a chance of me applying for mls in unilag i got 200 in jamb and 12.4 in waec need your advise

    1. Your chance of beating the eventual cut-off mark is very slim.

76. I got 212 in my jamb 2022. Is it enough for me to study MLT in UNILAG?

    1. Dear Testimony, 212 in UTME is enough for you to write post UTME in Unilag but it is relatively low for MLS in Unilag.

77. Hello here , pls I want to ask about dis is that I bargain my ND with upper credit in SlT and my olevel is C all .
    Can I gain admissions into unilag into MLT sir
    One more pls some people gut confuse with this course , what is the difference between SLT and MLT and what is there professional
    I will he grately happy if you can reply me back
    And when DE of unilag is out for this year 2023💙💙💙💙💟

    1. The direct entry requirement for Medical Laboratory Science in Unilag is: 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 programmes.

       SLT and MLT are not the same.
