The Department of Information Management Technology at the Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO) has published its entry requirements, setting out the O’level credits, the UTME subject combination, the direct entry route and the JAMB score needed to reach screening.
Unlike most departments at a university of technology, this one leans on commercial subjects rather than the pure sciences. Economics appears in both the O’level and the UTME lists, and it is the subject applicants most often overlook when planning their registration.
Direct entry is available at more than one level here, so holders of a national diploma or an HND should read that section before assuming they have to sit the UTME.
The admission requirements include O’level Subject combinations, JAMB UTME Subject combinations, and School and Departmental Cut-Off Marks.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Information Management Technology include the following:
- Five SSCE credit passes, including English Language, Economics, and Mathematics
Only three of the five credits are named. The remaining two are left open, which gives candidates from both arts and science backgrounds a realistic route in, provided English Language, Economics and Mathematics are all present.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Economics and any one of Account, Commerce, and Government
Counted out, that list comes to four papers: English Language, Mathematics, Economics, and one of Account, Commerce or Government. The last slot is the only place where you have a choice.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Information Management Technology if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- ‘A’ Level passes/ND and HND in relevant fields into 200 and 300 level
The reference to 200 and 300 level matters. The qualification you hold determines the level you are placed into, so an applicant entering with an HND will spend less time on the programme than one entering at 200 level.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted to the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored 160 or above in your JAMB result.
160 is the eligibility mark for screening rather than the score that secures a place. Candidates sitting close to it should prepare seriously for the screening stage, where most of the separation between applicants happens.

If your results fall outside that pattern, check the direct entry conditions instead. A relevant ND or HND can place you at 200 or 300 level without a UTME score at all.
