Important Admission Secrets for 2026/2027

To secure admission into IMOPOLY, you need to understand the strategy:

1. The Cut-Off Mark Strategy

• Official Mark: The polytechnic is admission-friendly and generally accepts a JAMB score of 100 – 120.

• Walk-In Admission: If you score slightly below the cut-off, the school often runs a Daily Part-Time or Evening Programme (especially at the Mbano and Orlu campuses) which does not require strict JAMB points, provided you have your O’Level credits.

2. O-Level Requirements

• Compulsory Subjects: You MUST have Credits in Mathematics and English Language for almost all courses.

• Waiver: For some Agricultural courses, a pass in Physics might be accepted if you have a Credit in Chemistry and Biology, but don’t count on it—aim for Credits in all.

3. Location Awareness

• Accommodation: Do not pay for a hostel in Owerri if your course is in Mbano. Mbano is about an hour from Owerri. Orlu is a major town with its own student housing market. Ensure you know your campus before paying for a lodge!
