KNUST Cut-Off Points for 2025/2026 Academic Year Admissions
The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) is one of the premier universities in Ghana, known for its rigorous academic standards and competitive admission process. For the 2025/2026 academic year, KNUST has released the KNUST cut-off points or cut-off aggregates to guide prospective students in selecting their preferred programs.
What Are Cut-Off Points?
Cut-off points, also known as cut-off aggregates, are the minimum scores required for admission into a specific program at the university. These scores are based on the West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE) results, which are conducted by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC). Candidates must have credit passes (A1-C6) in six subjects, including three core subjects—English Language and Mathematics—and three relevant elective subjects.
How Are Cut-Off Points Determined?
The cut-off points for each program are not predetermined but vary yearly based on the pass rate and the availability of space and resources for each program. While the minimum entry requirement for admission to KNUST is an aggregate of 24, each program has its own specific cut-off, which is typically lower than the general entry requirement. This means that applicants must compete for limited slots in each program based on their WASSCE scores.

Making the Right Choice
Understanding the cut-off points is crucial for prospective applicants. It helps in making informed decisions on which programs to apply for, ensuring a better chance of securing admission. Remember, the cut-off points serve as a guide, and meeting them does not automatically guarantee admission, as competition can be intense depending on the number of applicants and the available resources.
When applying, it is essential to consider your strengths and align them with the program requirements to maximize your chances of being selected.
