About IMSU
The Imo State University in Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria was established in 1981 through Law No. 4 passed by the Imo State House of Assembly. The university admitted the first intake of 392 pioneer students on October 23, 1981.
Imo State University was established in 1981 by the old Imo State Government, comprising present-day Imo and Abia States. The recognition of the importance of university education for rapid and sustainable socio-economic development and the absence of a federal university in the State prompted the decision to establish the university. The State had many qualified candidates who could not be admitted into existing universities.

How IMSU post-UTME score calculated for 2024/2025
Here’s a concise explanation of how the IMSU Post UTME score is calculated:
- Divide your JAMB score by 8: If your JAMB score is 320, divide it by 8 (320 ÷ 8 = 40).
- Divide your Post UTME score by 2: For instance, if your Post UTME score is 70, divide it by 2 (70 ÷ 2 = 35).
- Add the results of the two divisions together: Using the example scores, add them together (40 + 35 = 75).
Therefore, your total score for IMSU Post UTME would be 75 based on the provided example calculations.
