In recent times, there has been a lot of misleading information circulating online about how Imo State University (IMSU) calculates its aggregate score.
After conducting thorough research and speaking directly with current students of IMSU, we’re here to provide you with the accurate and updated method IMSU uses to calculate aggregate scores for admission.
The IMSU admission process is one of the most straightforward among Nigerian universities.
It follows a simple and transparent method to admit students into various departments and courses.
The journey to gaining admission into IMSU begins with sitting for the UTME (JAMB) examination, selecting IMSU as your first choice on the JAMB CAPS portal, meeting the university’s cut-off mark, registering for and writing the Post-UTME exam, and finally, calculating your aggregate score to determine your eligibility for admission.
The aggregate score is the most critical factor in determining whether a candidate secures admission into IMSU.
This aggregate score determines your chances of admission and helps you make clearer decisions for those who wish to do a change of course, so it’s very important to know how to calculate your aggregate score if you’re seeking admission into IMSU or even any other tertiary institution.
What is an aggregate score?
An aggregate score is the total score obtained after combining your JAMB score, Post-UTME score, and, in some cases, O’Level results, depending on the university’s admission policy.
This score is used to rank candidates who applied for various courses and to determine who qualifies for admission.
At Imo State University (IMSU), the aggregate score is calculated using a 50:50 system, which means:
JAMB UTME contributes 50%.
Post-UTME contributes 50%.
As we all know, Imo State University writes post-UTME exams, and Imo State University places more emphasis on their post-UTME exam even though we know the ratio is the same, but if one can really perform well in their post-UTME exam, it would really boost their chances of admission, especially if you didn’t really do well in your JAMB.
How to Calculate IMSU Aggregate Score 2025
Since Imo State University writes Post UTME exam, your aggregate score would be calculated using only the JAMB UTME score and the Post UTME score. In essence, IMSU doesn’t use O-level grades in calculating their aggregate score.
- Your UTME weighs 50%.
- Post UTME weighs 50%.
To calculate your aggregate score for IMSU, simply follow the following steps.
- To calculate your aggregate score, the first thing you would do is to divide your UTME JAMB score by 8.
- Divide your Post UTME score by 2.
- Add both scores together.
For example, Ifeoma scored 285 in JAMB and 75 in Post UTME.
Because IMSU Post UTME is over 100
So to get her aggregate score, we would divide her JAMB UTME score.
285/8= 35.63
Then her Post UTME score by 2
75/2=37.5
Then add both scores together.
35.625 + 37.5 = 73.13%
So Ifeoma’s aggregate score is 73.13%.
