KNUST RELEASES CUTOFF POINTS FOR 2024/2025 ACADEMIC YEAR

Ensuring your educational journey aligns with your aspirations is pivotal for academic triumph. Among the top-tier institutions catering to diverse interests, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) stands out for its myriad programs.

Yet, each year, aspiring students converge on designated spots to obtain e-vouchers for admission applications. Nevertheless, hurdles like program prerequisites, misinformation, meeting score thresholds, and assorted factors sometimes hinder admission prospects.

In this post, we will look at one major reason which is the CUT-OFF POINT.

WHAT IS A CUT-OFF POINT?

Students write WASSCE intending to get a good grade to gain admission.

Why is every student seeking a good grade?

Based on the grade you attain you get to know if you are eligible for the program of interest. The majority of prospective university students prefer 'hot-cake' programs. They want to be respected, get a better job, have an interesting career and earn big time during and or after school.

Is it necessary to consider the cut-off point when choosing a program?

Yes, every student's first goal is to surpass the cut-off point, enabling them to confidently confirm their eligibility for a specific program.

The cut-off point is a minimum grade required for admission into any institution that demands it. The cut-off point, therefore, seems more or less like a boundary you should not exceed. They vary from one program to the other and from school to school.

KNUST's main campus may have a different cut-off point to that of the branched campuses. For instance, if you want to read BSC. Civil Engineering on the main campus, the cut-off point is 09 but for Obuasi Campus, the cut-off point is 14 (Referencing 2023/2024 Entry Requirement).

Some programs exist both on the main and Obuasi campus. The better your grade, the higher your chances of gaining admission to your preferred program.

How Is The Cut-Off Point Used?

The cut-off point is used to determine the limited grade for applicants.

This is how to use the cut-off point when selecting your programs:

Your grade should not be more than +2 of the cut-off point. E.g, if the cut-off point is 10, you should not apply for such programs if you have grade 13 onwards.

The cut-off point may be subdued to change yearly by +1,-1 or +2,-2.

Note: This calculation may not be true for all programs depending on the number of applicants for such a program, thus competition.

Choosing a program is based on the cut-off points of the previous year, thus 2023/2024 academic year applicants will make their program selection based on that of the previous year, 2022/2023.
