IMSU Post-UTME Screening Date and Test Format

IMSU runs an aptitude test as part of its screening exercise, but unlike some universities, it doesn’t publish one fixed date for everyone.

IMSU will communicate the specific screening date and time for each candidate individually, after registration.
Keep checking your registered details and watch for communication from the university don’t assume a date will simply be posted publicly for all candidates at once.
Bring your printed acknowledgement slip to the screening venue on your assigned date this is your proof of registration and is required for entry.

IMSU Post-UTME Past Questions: How to Prepare

IMSU’s own admission notices point candidates toward general Post-UTME past questions resources for practice, though there isn’t a single university-authenticated past-questions bank confirmed by IMSU directly. To prepare effectively:

Revise your UTME subject combination thoroughly, since the aptitude test draws from the same subjects.
Practice CBT-style mock tests to build comfort with timed, multiple-choice formats.
For Nursing, Medicine, and other science-based courses, prioritise Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, since these carry heavy weight for departmental competitiveness.
Be cautious of vendors making strong claims about “official” IMSU past questions treat such claims with reasonable skepticism since IMSU hasn’t directly confirmed an authenticated set.

IMSU Post-UTME Cut-Off Mark and Aggregate Score Formula

The general JAMB cut-off mark for IMSU is 160 for the 2026/2027 session this is your minimum entry point for screening, not a guarantee of admission.

IMSU’s aggregate formula, consistently reported across multiple sources, is:

Aggregate = (JAMB Score ÷ 8) + (Post-UTME Score ÷ 2)

Your JAMB score (out of 400) divided by 8 gives a maximum of 50 points.
Your Post-UTME score (out of 100) divided by 2 gives a maximum of 50 points.
Add both for your final aggregate, out of 100.

Example: JAMB score of 260 + Post-UTME score of 50% (i.e., 50 out of 100) = (260/8) + (50/2) = 32.5 + 25 = 57.5 aggregate.

On departmental cut-offs: IMSU has reportedly set a general departmental cut-off mark around 180 aggregate for many courses, but this varies sharply by demand [VERIFY current cycle figures before relying on these]:

Nursing: among the most competitive, with reported aggregates typically in the 250–280 range for merit candidates, and acceptance rates as low as 3–5%.
Medicine, Law, Computer Science, Mass Communication, and Accounting: also highly competitive, often requiring scores well above the general 160 baseline.
Public Health: reportedly around 200 aggregate for merit candidates.
Less competitive Arts, Education, and Social Science courses: candidates scoring closer to 160–170 may still have a realistic chance.

IMSU also applies Merit, Catchment, and ELDS (Educationally Less Developed States) categories, with catchment and ELDS cut-offs typically running somewhat lower than merit for the same department.
