Official JAMB Cut off Mark for Law in IMSU 2025 Admission

by

The Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) program at Imo State University (IMSU) is competitive and respected.

Gaining admission involves meeting both a general UTME requirement and a higher departmental threshold. 

What is the IMSU general JAMB UTME cut-off?

IMSU has set 160 as its general UTME cut-off mark for the 2025/2026 session. 

This is the minimum score required for candidates to register for the Post‑UTME examination, regardless of their chosen course.

Is there a separate cut-off mark for Law?

Yes. Law at IMSU has a higher requirement. Official data indicates that aspiring Law students must score at least 200 in their JAMB UTME.

This elevated threshold reflects the program’s competitive nature.

Can applicants with under 200 UTME still apply?

Those scoring between 160 and 199 can complete the Post‑UTME registration and be considered for other programs. 

However, they are not eligible for Law, as Law applicants must reach the 200 UTME minimum .

Why is Law’s cut-off higher than 160?

Law is a professional program in high demand, attracting many applicants. 

IMSU sets its UTME cut-off at 200 to ensure only well-qualified candidates with strong academic backgrounds are considered.

Which O’Level subjects are required for Law?

Applicants must have five credit passes in WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB, including:

  • English Language

  • Literature-in-English

  • Plus three additional Arts or Social Science subjects (e.g., Government, History, CRS) 

Passing UTME alone is not enough; O’Level subjects must align with requirements.

After registering, what determines admission into Law?

Admission depends not only on UTME but also on performance in the Post‑UTME exam and O’Level grades. 

The final aggregate combines UTME (50%), Post‑UTME (30%), and O’Level results (20%). Applicants must rank among top Law aspirants to gain a place.

Is the 200 cut-off fixed or does it change?

While the 200 UTME requirement is official for 2025, it may vary each year based on application levels, departmental capacity, and candidate performance.

Applicants should monitor IMSU’s official portal for the most current update.

What if my UTME score is 190?

If you scored 190, you cannot qualify for Law. You can still register for Post‑UTME and apply for other programs with lower UTME thresholds. 

If Law remains your goal, consider retaking UTME to score 200+ or explore related courses before aiming for Law in a future batch.
