LASU Part-Time Entrance Exam – Documents to Bring

On exam day, candidates are required to bring only the specific, clearly listed documents. From the latest LASU update on the CBT exam arrangements:

Mandatory Documents

Every candidate must come with:

  1. A clear printed copy of the completed application form
  2. Printed CBT Venue Checker / Venue Allocator slip
    • This shows your batch and time for the exam.
  3. A valid means of identification, such as:
    • National Identity Card (NIN/Plastic ID)
    • Voter’s Card
    • Driver’s Licence
    • International Passport
    • LASRRA Card

The name on the ID should match the name on your application form to avoid issues during verification.

Additional Documents for Direct Entry Candidates

Direct Entry applicants are also expected to bring:

  • Original copies of their post-secondary academic qualifications (e.g. OND, HND, LASU Diploma, Bachelor’s degree, or recognised professional certificates)
  • Photocopies of these qualifications for submission/processing

Organise these documents neatly in a simple, labelled file to speed up checks.


How to Check Your Exam Batch & Time (CBT Venue Checker)

LASU uses an online CBT Venue Allocator system to control crowding and ensure smooth exam conduct. The current official guidance is:

  1. Visit the LASU website – lasu.edu.ng.
  2. On the top menu, hover on or click the “Students” tab.
  3. Locate and click on “CBT Exam Venue Allocator” (or similar wording).

Very important:

  • Candidates are expected to only appear at the CBT Centre at the exact batch and time printed on their venue slip.
  • Coming with another batch or loitering around the venue outside your scheduled time can lead to being denied access to the exam hall.
