How to Calculate IMSU Aggregate Score
With the conclusion of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board Examinations for the 2023/2024 academic session, it has become very necessary for all candidates to start preparing for the Imo State University (IMSU) Post UTME exams.
Many candidates have been searching for answers regarding the IMSU cut off marks, fees, departmental cut offs, post-UTME cut-offs, aggregate score calculations, etc.
In this article, we will be discussing the intricacies involved with calculating the IMSU aggregate score for the 2024–2025 academic session. Without further ado, let’s get right into it!
How to Calculate IMSU Aggregate Score
To correctly calculate your IMSU aggregate score, you need to know:
- The JAMB Examination is made up of 400 marks
- The IMSU Post UTME is made up of 100 marks
Follow these steps:
- Divide your JAMB score by 8
- Divide your Post UTME score by 2
- Add up the results
Here is an example calculation:
| Candidate | JAMB Score | Post UTME Score |
|---|---|---|
| BELLA | 240 | 80 |
- BELLA’s JAMB score (240) divided by 8 is 30
- BELLA’s Post UTME score (80) divided by 2 is 40
- 30 + 40 = 70
- Therefore, BELLA’s aggregate score is 70
I hope this breakdown makes it clear how to arrive at your IMSU aggregate score using your JAMB and Post UTME results! Let me know if you have any other questions.
