1. Your JAMB Subject Combination
You listed:
Use of English
Government
Literature in English
Economics
Yes, this combination is acceptable for Public Administration in most Nigerian universities, including IMSU.
Typical requirement:
English (compulsory)
Government or History
Economics
Any other Arts/Social Science subject
So you’re good to go 
2. Does IMSU write Post-UTME?
IMSU usually conducts a Post-UTME screening, but:
Some years it is a written CBT exam
Other years it is online screening (no exam) based on your JAMB + O’Level
It depends on the admission year policy.
3. If it is a CBT Exam (Most Likely Format)
When IMSU conducts Post-UTME exam:
Format: Computer-Based Test (CBT)
Questions: Usually around 40–50 questions
Time: About 30–45 minutes
Subjects: Based on your JAMB subjects
4. If it is Screening (No Exam)
No written test
They calculate your aggregate score using:
JAMB score
O’Level grades
Final Advice
Your subject combo is correct for Public Administration
Keep checking IMSU portal for updates
Prepare for both CBT and screening, just in case
