Factors Influencing Cut Off Marks at KWASU

Several factors affect the departmental cut-off marks at KWASU:

• Number of applicants per course
• Overall UTME performance
• Departmental carrying capacity
• Admission policy reviews
• Quota allocated by NUC (National Universities Commission)

How to Calculate Your KWASU Aggregate Score

To determine your eligibility for admission, KWASU typically calculates an aggregate score using the UTME score and O’Level results. The common formula used is:

Aggregate Score = (UTME Score ÷ 8) + (O’Level Score ÷ 2)

Example:
If you scored 240 in JAMB and had a B3 average in 5 core subjects (75%), your aggregate will be:
→ (240 ÷ 8) + (75 ÷ 2) = 30 + 37.5 = 67.5%

What If You Score Below the Cut Off?

If you fall short of the departmental cut-off mark:

• Consider changing to a less competitive course.
• Apply for KWASU pre-degree or JUPEB programmes.
• Change your institution on JAMB CAPS if needed.
