Are you interested in becoming a student of the Kano University of science & Technology (KUST) If yes, then this post will be of great help to you as it is not only important for one to know the cut off mark of their preferred institution but also how to calculate the aggregate score.
On this note, we are going to tell you what aggregate and Post UTME Score means and what things are to be considered before calculating the aggregate score.
About The University
The University was formerly known as Kano University of Science and Technology (KUST), Wudil. The University is ranked 123rd in the list of Best Universities in Nigeria. The then Governor of Kano state, Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso proposed establishing the university during his first tenure from 1999 to 2003. The university was renamed to Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology, Wudil in the year 2022 by the Governor of the state Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
What is Post UTME Score?
After every UTME exercise, the exam body sets a particular mark {e.g., 120}. This mark is a score a candidate must have or cross to qualify him or her to sit for the chosen school’s POST UTME exercise.
This said mark is announced to all schools to enable them to decide the number of candidates they will admit. After the school’s decision, they announce a particular mark that must not be lower than the mark the UTME body fixed.
Any candidate who crosses the mark set by the UTME body and does not reach the chosen school’s mark is NEVER eligible to sit for the school’s POST UTME.
This mark or score set by the school admission board is known as SCHOOL’S CUT-OFF MARK.
What is Aggregate Score ?
Aggregate scores are calculated by finding the sum of all those subjects whose marks have to be considered, and then dividing the sum by total marks. The final result is then multiplied with 100, which gives the aggregate percentage.
KUST General Cut Off Mark
The Kaduna State University Jamb cut-off mark is the general cut-off mark set as a benchmark for all courses offered in the institution. KASU Jamb’s cut-off mark for the 2023/2024 academic session is 140, so for a student to register for the Kaduna State University of Science & Technology POST UTME he or she must score nothing less than 140 in the concluded JAMB examination.
How to Calculate KUST Aggregate Score
To correctly calculate your aggregate, know that the JAMB Examination is made up of 400 marks, whereas the Kaduna State University of Science & Technology (KUST) Post UTME is made of 100 marks.
- Divide your JAMB score by 8,
- Divide your Post UTME score by 2
- Add up the result.
This is how to calculate yours.
If Tina scored 240 in her JAMB and 80 in her Post UTME, then her Aggregate score can be gotten by following these steps.
240/8= 30
80/2= 40
40+ 30= 70
Tina’s aggregate score is 70.
