IMT Cut-Off Mark for 2025/2026 Admission: Everything You Need to Know
TL;DR (Quick Summary)
If you’re aspiring to study at the Institute of Management and Technology (IMT) Enugu for the 2025/2026 academic year, the general UTME cut-off mark is 140, though departmental cut-offs may vary. This guide breaks down everything from departmental benchmarks to admission tips and official links.
Why IMT Still Stands Out in 2025/2026
In my experience as someone who’s mentored admission seekers over the years, IMT Enugu continues to be a top pick for technical and business-oriented studies in Nigeria. The school’s infrastructure has seen improvements, their academic calendar is relatively stable, and graduates remain highly employable.
IMT Enugu, founded in 1973, remains a top-tier institution, especially for courses in engineering, arts, business, and communication. For many students in the southeast and beyond, it is not just a fallback option—it’s the first choice.
2025/2026 General Cut-Off Mark: What You Need to Qualify
For the 2025/2026 academic session, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has retained a flexible benchmark across polytechnics. However, IMT Enugu’s official UTME cut-off mark is set at 140.
“I scored 145 and got into Mass Communication last year. Don’t just meet the cut-off, aim higher to stay competitive.” — Jennifer, Mass Comm student (2024)
Key Points:
| Criteria | Score Requirement |
|---|---|
| UTME (General) | 140 |
| DE (Direct Entry) | Based on qualification & transcript |
Note: Cut-off scores for competitive courses like Engineering or Mass Communication are often higher due to demand.

How Does IMT Calculate Departmental Cut-Off Marks?
IMT uses a combination of these factors:
- UTME Score – This is your primary entry qualification.
- O’Level Results – Credits in relevant subjects can tip the scale.
- Post-UTME Score – Often computer-based, this test can carry significant weight.
- Quota Per Department – Limited space means higher benchmarks for some programs.
IMT does not officially publish these departmental cut-offs online, but internal data and past trends help paint a reliable picture.
