About Lagos City Polytechnic
Lagos City Polytechnic (LCP) is one of Nigeria’s pioneering private polytechnics, located in Ikeja, Lagos State. Established to provide quality technical and professional education in a wide range of fields, and is officially approved by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) and offers a variety of National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) programs. It offers flexible learning options (including weekend and part-time classes), hands-on training, and a strong focus on preparing students for the workforce.
All admissions into National Diploma (ND) programs offered by Polytechnics across the country are handled by JAMB (Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board). However, after JAMB selects candidates, final admission depends on whether they meet the basic entry requirements set by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE).
For other programs like Higher National Diploma (HND) and Preliminary National Diploma (Pre-ND), the Polytechnic itself manages the admission process. Interested candidates must buy and complete an application form from the Polytechnic. The form costs ₦10,000, and the Academic Board of the Polytechnic decides who gets admitted, based on whether the applicant meets the required academic qualifications set by NBTE.
