IMSU Releases UTME Cut-Off Mark for 2026/2027 Academic Session

Imo State University (IMSU), Owerri, has officially set its minimum UTME cut-off mark at 160 for the 2026 university admissions exercise.

This means candidates who scored 160 and above in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and chose IMSU as their first-choice institution are eligible to apply for the Post-UTME screening.

Key Information for 2026 Admissions

General Cut-Off Mark: 160
Screening Eligibility: UTME score of 160+, first choice selection, and minimum of 5 relevant O’level credits (including English and Mathematics).
Note: The final admission decision depends on the candidate’s aggregate score (UTME + Post-UTME or O’level performance).

While the general cut-off is 160, highly competitive courses usually require much higher scores due to limited slots and high demand.

Advice to IMSU Aspirants

If your score is exactly 160–170, you still have a chance for less competitive courses, especially in Education, Arts, and some Social Sciences.
For professional courses (Medicine, Law, Nursing, etc.), a score of 200 and above significantly improves your chances.

This cut-off mark reflects IMSU’s commitment to providing quality education while keeping the admission process accessible to qualified candidates across the country.

Best of luck to all 2026 IMSU aspirants
