Imo State University: Courses, Cut-off & Admission (2026/2027)
Imo State University (IMSU) is a State university located in Owerri, Nigeria, established in 1981. It offers the 11 programmes listed below. The JAMB national minimum for the 2026/2027 session is 150 — the college's own entrance exam and departmental cut-offs may be higher, so confirm with the school.
⚠ Imo State University runs two official-looking domains (imsu.edu.ng and imsuonline.edu.ng) — only trust links found on these two sites for registration or payment. Ignore any "agent," WhatsApp group, or blog offering to process your Post-UTME form or guarantee admission for a fee — IMSU admission is strictly JAMB/portal-based, and no legitimate fee is ever paid to an individual.

Entry Requirements
You need five (5) O'level credit passes including English Language and Mathematics, obtained in not more than two sittings. Sit JAMB UTME (minimum 150) and make it your first choice — change your first choice to Imo State University before the Post-UTME screening window closes if needed. You must also have uploaded your O'Level results to JAMB. IMSU's actual department cut-off marks are not independently confirmed here — departmental cut-offs are often higher than the JAMB national minimum, so confirm the current session's mark on the official portal. Direct Entry candidates (OND/HND/A-Level/first degree holders) may also apply in a discipline relevant to their chosen course. A Post-UTME/DE screening form fee applies — the exact amount and payment channel are not independently confirmed here, so verify on the official portal before paying.
IMSU JAMB Cut-off Mark (2026/2027)
The JAMB national minimum for the 2026/2027 session is 150. This is the lowest score to be considered; the college also runs its own entrance examination, and departments frequently set higher cut-offs, so always confirm the current mark for your course with the school.
How to Apply
Select Imo State University, Owerri as your institution on your JAMB UTME form. Once the screening window opens, go to the official IMSU portal (imsuonline.edu.ng or the admissions section of imsu.edu.ng) and complete the Post-UTME/Direct Entry screening registration and payment there.
Stay safe: IMSU has two live official domains, which can make students trust unrelated look-alike sites — only use links found on imsu.edu.ng or imsuonline.edu.ng. Never pay an agent, WhatsApp group, or blog that offers to "process" your form or guarantee admission; pay only through the official portal.
