Here’s exactly how to calculate your aggregate score for Imo State University (IMSU), with a correctly worked example.
IMSU, in Owerri, Imo State, was established in 1981 and admitted its first intake of 392 students that October. After Abia State was created in 1991, the university’s Uturu campus became Abia State University. Most of IMSU’s programmes hold full accreditation from the National Universities Commission.
How to Calculate IMSU Aggregate Score
IMSU’s JAMB examination is marked out of 400, while its Post-UTME screening is marked out of 100. The formula is a 50:50 split between the two:
- Divide your JAMB score by 8.
- Divide your Post-UTME score by 2.
- Add the two results together to get your aggregate score.
Say a candidate scored 240 in JAMB and 80 in IMSU’s Post-UTME:
240 ÷ 8 = 30
80 ÷ 2 = 40
30 + 40 = 70
That candidate’s aggregate score would be 70 out of a possible 100. The general departmental cut-off at IMSU has typically sat around 180 for recent sessions.
