What universities accept IJMB for admission in Nigeria, and what is their IJMB cut-off mark for all courses?

In this article, I discussed everything you need about the IJMB required minimum points for medicine, pharmacy, law, nursing, and other courses offered in Nigerian state, private, and federal universities in 2024.

Without further ado, let’s dive into it. Check out this article if you haven’t registered for the Interim Joint Matriculation Board Examination.

How many points do you need to pass IJMB?

You need a minimum of 5 points to pass IJMB. However, different faculties or departments have their required points.

For example, Engineering is 8 points, law is 11 points, medicine is 13 points, and the average required IJMB points for other courses is 7. The more competitive your course is, the higher you need to score to gain admission.

Aside from the points from the IJMB exams, most universities also require certain grades in relevant O’Level subjects (at not more than two sittings) besides the IJMB points. Some universities accept IJMB points as direct entry (200 Level) into their undergraduate programs.

Remember that while IJMB can be a backdoor into university for those who could not secure admission via JAMB, it still requires hard work, dedication, and good study habits to pass the IJMB exams and secure the required points for your desired course.
