History of Imo State University (IMSU)
Imo State University (IMSU) is a public university located in Owerri, the capital of Imo State, Nigeria. The university was established in 1981 by the Imo State House of Assembly, as a response to the need for a state-owned university that would provide quality education and manpower for the state and the nation.
However, the university faced some challenges in its early years, such as the relocation of its campus from Etiti to Uturu, and the ceding of its facilities and staff to Abia State University after the creation of Abia State in 1991.
The university was re-established in Owerri in 1992, with the acquisition of the Lake Nwaebere Campus of the Federal University of Technology Owerri. The university admitted its first batch of students in February 1993, and obtained formal approval from the National Universities Commission (NUC) in the same year.
Since then, the university has grown to become one of the leading state universities in Nigeria, offering a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs in various fields of study. The university has also achieved remarkable feats in research, innovation, and academic excellence, ranking among the top 10 universities in Nigeria in 2000.
The university has a motto of “Excellence in Service”, and a vision of becoming a center of excellence in learning, research, and community service. The university has a mission of producing graduates who are intellectually sound, morally upright, and socially relevant.
The university has a student population of over 20,000, and a staff strength of over 1,500. The university has 11 faculties and 63 departments, as well as a college of medicine, a school of postgraduate studies, and a consultancy services unit. The university also has several facilities and services, such as a library, a health center, a sports complex, a radio station, and a student union.
The university is governed by a council, headed by a pro-chancellor and chairman, and a senate, headed by a vice-chancellor. The current pro-chancellor and chairman of the council is Chief Leo Stan Ekeh, while the current vice-chancellor is Professor Uchefula Ugonna Chukwumaeze.
The university has produced many notable alumni, such as politicians, academics, professionals, entrepreneurs, and celebrities. Some of them include Senator Hope Uzodinma, Governor of Imo State; Senator Rochas Okorocha, former Governor of Imo State; Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, Governor of Abia State; Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director-General of the World Trade Organization; Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, Minister of Science and Technology; Dr. Kema Chikwe, former Minister of Aviation; Dr. Paschal Dozie, founder of Diamond Bank; Dr. Innocent Chukwuma, founder of Innoson Motors; Dr. Genevieve Nnaji, actress and filmmaker; and Dr. Kanayo O. Kanayo, actor and lawyer.
Imo State University is a proud institution that has contributed immensely to the development of Imo State, Nigeria, and the world at large. The university continues to strive for service excellence and to uphold its motto, vision, and mission.
What is IMSU Cut-Off Mark?
The IMSU cut-off mark is the minimum score or point that a candidate who wants to apply for admission into IMSU must have in JAMB (UTME) before he or she will qualify to participate in the IMSU Post UTME screening exercise. IMSU cut-off mark is determined by the management of the university based on the performance of candidates in JAMB and the availability of spaces in each department.
There are two types of IMSU cut-off marks: the general cut-off mark and the departmental cut-off mark. The general cut-off mark is the minimum score that all candidates must have in JAMB to be eligible for IMSU Post UTME. The departmental cut-off mark is the specific score that each department requires for admission into its programmes.
IMSU General Cut-Off Mark 2025/2026
IMSU general cut-off mark is the minimum score that all candidates must have in the UTME to be eligible to apply for any course of their choice at IMSU. For the 2025/2026 academic session, IMSU general cut-off mark is 150. This means that candidates who score 150 and above in the UTME are eligible to apply for admission into IMSU.
However, scoring 150 or above does not guarantee admission into IMSU, as candidates will still have to meet other requirements such as the departmental cut-off mark, the post-UTME score, the O’level results, and the catchment area.
IMSU JAMB Cut-Off Mark 2025/2026
One of the most important factors that determine your admission into Imo State University (IMSU) is your score in the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). This is because IMSU has a minimum score or point that you must have in the UTME before you can apply for any course of your choice at the university. This minimum score is called the IMSU JAMB cut-off mark.
The IMSU JAMB cut-off mark for the 2025/2026 academic session is 150. This means that you must score at least 150 in the UTME to be eligible to apply for admission into IMSU. However, scoring 150 or above does not guarantee your admission into IMSU, as you will still have to meet other requirements such as the IMSU departmental cut-off mark, the post-UTME score, the O’level results, and the catchment area.
The IMSU JAMB cut-off mark is set by the management of the university based on the performance of candidates in the UTME and the availability of spaces in the various courses and departments. The IMSU JAMB cut-off mark may vary from year to year depending on the number of applicants and the level of competition. Therefore, you should always check the IMSU official website or this blog for the latest updates on the IMSU JAMB cut-off mark.
If you score below 150 in the UTME, you may not be able to apply for admission into IMSU. However, you can still explore other options such as changing your institution of choice to another university that accepts lower scores or applying for a pre-degree or remedial programme that can prepare you for admission into IMSU. You can also register for another UTME and try to improve your score.
If you score 150 or above in the UTME, congratulations! You have met the IMSU JAMB cut-off mark and you can proceed to apply for the IMSU post-UTME screening exercise. The post-UTME screening exercise is another crucial stage that determines your admission into IMSU. In the next section, I will explain what the IMSU post UTME screening exercise is, how to apply for it, and how to prepare for it. Stay tuned!
IMSU Departmental Cut-Off Mark 2025/2026
IMSU departmental cut-off mark is the specific score that each course or department requires for admission. It is determined by the management of each faculty after the post-UTME screening exercise, based on the number of candidates that applied for the course, the performance of the candidates, and the carrying capacity of the department.
IMSU departmental cut-off mark varies from course to course and from year to year. It is usually higher than the general cut-off mark, as some courses are more competitive than others. For example, courses like Medicine, Law, Engineering, and Accounting usually have higher cut-off marks than courses like Education, Agriculture, and Arts.
IMSU departmental cut-off mark for the 2025/2026 academic session has not been officially released by the university as of the time of writing this post. However, based on the previous years’ cut-off marks, we can estimate the possible cut-off marks for some courses as follows:

How to Calculate IMSU Aggregate Score 2025/2026
IMSU aggregate score is the total score that a candidate obtains after combining the UTME score and the post-UTME score. It is used to rank the candidates and determine the merit list for admission.
To calculate your IMSU aggregate score, you need to follow these steps:
- Divide your UTME score by 8
- Divide your post-UTME score by 2
- Add the two results together
For example, if you score 300 in UTME and 80 in post-UTME, your aggregate score will be:
- 300/8 = 37.5
- 80/2 = 40
- 37.5 + 40 = 77.5
The higher your aggregate score, the higher your chances of gaining admission into IMSU.
