Soil loss is as a result of detachment and transportation of soil particles from one place to another due to rainfall. The rate of soil erosion has been of great concern to the government and people of Enugu state as regards to farm land and environmental degradation. This work analyzed the soil samples collected from two erosion sites namely, IMT campus I and Campus III and the soil loss for the samples which is the mainstay of this project was determined using a rainfall simulator. It was observed that IMT campus I recorded the highest soil loss of 190.3g and Campus III with a soil loss of 178.0g both at 9% slope. In terms of steepness of slope, Campus I has the steepest slope of 1/253.3 which led to a greater volume of runoff and resulted to the highest soil loss. Recommendations were made on how best to reduce soil loss in Institute of Management and technology Enugu and in Enugu State at large.
