IMSU Cut-Off Mark for 2024/2025

A cut-off mark is the minimal score that an applicant must attain in an entrance test (such as the JAMB in Nigeria) in order to be considered for admission to a specific academic program or institution. It is a criterion set by the university or institution based on parameters such as the number of applications, the degree of competition for a certain course, and the program’s available spots.

For example, at Imo State University (IMSU), the cut-off marks for various majors varied. Popular and competitive courses, such as Medicine and Surgery or Law, often have higher cut-off scores, whilst other courses may have lower prerequisites.

The Imo State University cut-off mark for the academic year 2024/2025 is 170. This implies that any candidate who scores 160 or more on the JAMB exam is entitled to participate in the post-UTME screening exercise, as long as they match the other course-specific requirements.

Note

If a candidate’s score meets or exceeds the designated cut-off mark, they qualify for the next stage of the admission process. This stage often includes further assessments, such as a post-UTME screening, an interview, or other evaluations. The post-UTME screening typically involves written tests that assess academic knowledge, while interviews may focus on the candidate’s personality, communication skills, and overall readiness for university life. These additional evaluations help the institution determine the candidate’s suitability for the chosen program and ensure they meet the required standards for admission.

Post-UTME Screening

After meeting the JAMB cut-off mark, candidates must participate in the IMSU post-UTME screening process. This involves a written exam and possibly a verification of credentials. The Post-UTME score, combined with the JAMB score, is used to determine the candidate’s eligibility for admission.

Other Requirements for Admission

Apart from meeting the cut-off mark, candidates must also meet the following requirements:

• Candidates must possess a minimum of five credit passes in relevant subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, in not more than two sittings.
•  Candidates must meet the age criteria stipulated by the university.

How to Calculate IMSU Aggregate Score 2024/2025

To assess your chances of admission to your selected IMSU course, compute your aggregate score. The IMSU aggregate score is a mix of your UTME and post-UTME results. Here’s how to calculate your aggregate score:

1. Divide your UTME score by 8.
2. Divide your post-UTME score by 2.
3. Add the two results together.

For example, if you score 300 in UTME and 80 in post-UTME, your aggregate score will be:

• UTME: 300 ÷ 8 = 37.5
• Post-UTME: 80 ÷ 2 = 40
• Aggregate score = 37.5 + 40 = 77.5

The higher your aggregate score, the better your chances of gaining admission into IMSU.

Requirements Needed

To apply for the IMSU post-UTME, applicants must complete the following requirements:

• In the UTME, select IMSU as your first choice university.
• The UTME should yield a score of at least 170.
• Have at least five credit passes on your O’level grades, including English Language, Mathematics, and other courses relevant to your selected study.
• Provide a valid email and phone number.
• Pay a non-refundable cost of N2,000 for the post-UTME screening application.
