Where IMSU’s 2026/2027 Admissions Cycle Currently Stands
Contents
As of now, Imo State University has not yet released the official undergraduate admission list for 2026/2027, including for the Evening and Weekend Degree Program.
However, the university is actively running its 2026/2027 Post-UTME and Direct Entry admission process.
The university’s website confirms that the 2026/2027 Post-UTME Screening Results are available (you can check them with your JAMB Registration Number), and Direct Entry Screening registration runs from Friday, 14th August to Tuesday, 25th August 2026.
IMSU has also confirmed that the Evening and Weekend Degree Admission Form for 2026/2027 is available, so candidates interested in this part-time option can apply.
However, the actual admission list—the list of successful candidates- had not been released for this program at the time of writing.
What IMSU’s Evening and Weekend Degree Program Actually Is
IMSU’s Evening and Weekend Degree Program is designed for people who need a flexible way to earn a full undergraduate degree.
It’s especially helpful for working adults, career changers, or anyone with major daytime commitments.
Qualified candidates from various faculties and departments are welcome to apply.
In past admission cycles, the Evening and Weekend Degree Program has included faculties like Management Science, with departments such as Accounting, Management, Marketing, and Hospitality Management.
Since the list of available faculties and departments can change each year, applicants should check IMSU’s official admission announcement for the full and current 2026/2027 list.
General Entry Requirements
Although requirements may differ by department, IMSU’s general undergraduate entry rules, which also apply to the Evening and Weekend Degree Program, usually include:
- Five O’Level credit passes, including English Language and Mathematics, obtained from WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB.
- Combination of results across sittings: Candidates can combine WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB results, provided this is done in no more than two sittings.
- JAMB cut-off mark compliance: Candidates must also meet the relevant JAMB score threshold applicable to their intended course.
- Direct Entry consideration: Candidates holding an ND, NCE, HND, or equivalent qualification are also generally eligible to apply through the Direct Entry route into this program, subject to meeting the specific requirements for their intended department.
Some competitive courses may require higher JAMB scores and O’Level grades than the general minimum.
Applicants should check the specific cut-off marks for their chosen department before applying.
How the Admission List Process Has Worked in Previous Cycles
Looking at how IMSU has handled Evening Program admission lists in the past can help you know what to expect when the 2026/2027 list comes out:
- IMSU usually releases its Evening Program admission list in batches. For example, in 2022/2023, the university published a “First Batch” admission list and announced that more names would be added in later phases.
- In previous years, the university has also offered supplementary admissions for the Evening Program. This means candidates who were not included in the first batch had another chance to be admitted.
Because of this pattern, applicants for the 2026/2027 Evening Program should expect the admission list to come out in batches, not all at once.
How to Check Your Admission Status Once the List Is Released
- Visit the IMSU Admission Portal at imsuonline.edu.ng and navigate to the relevant admission status checking section for the Evening and Weekend Degree Program.
- Enter your JAMB Registration Number and any other requested identification details.
- View your result to confirm whether you’ve been offered provisional admission.
- Cross-check on JAMB CAPS. Visit the JAMB e-Facility portal, log in with your username and password, click “Check Admission Status,” tap “Access my CAPS,” and then click “Admission Status” to confirm whether IMSU has offered you a spot through the centralized JAMB system as well.
- Accept or reject your offer on JAMB CAPS promptly once you see your name, since delays can affect your ability to proceed with registration.
- Print your JAMB Admission Letter from the JAMB Admission Letter portal once you’ve accepted, and keep it safe, since it’s typically required for your physical registration process at IMSU.
Check both IMSU’s portal and JAMB CAPS often, as the two systems may not update at the same time.
Confirming your status on both helps you avoid missing any updates.
What to Do If You’re Not on the First Batch
If your name is not on the first 2026/2027 Evening Program admission list, don’t worry; the process may not be over.
IMSU often holds supplementary admission rounds after the first batch, adding more candidates as spaces become available.
Keep checking the IMSU admission portal regularly instead of relying on just one check.
