Are you planning to apply to the Kwara State University for the 2025/2026 session? Then one of the first things you need to check is the cut off mark.

This score helps you know where you stand and whether you can move forward with the KWASU Post UTME screening. Once you understand how the cut off mark works, it becomes easier to plan your next step.
Here, you will see the approved score, course requirements, and what to do next after meeting the mark.

How KWASU Calculates Aggregate Score
KWASU combines your JAMB and Post-UTME scores using this formula:
(JAMB ÷ 8) + Post-UTME Score = Aggregate
Example
Details | Score |
|---|---|
JAMB Score | 180 |
JAMB ÷ 8 | 22.5 |
Post-UTME | 55 |
Aggregate | 77.5 |
Higher aggregate scores improve your chances of gaining admission.
Competitive Aggregate Score Targets
Course | Aggregate Range |
|---|---|
Nursing | 85 – 95+ |
Law | 88 – 95+ |
Engineering | 75 – 85+ |
Mass Communication | 75 – 85 |
Education | 65 – 75 |
If your score is below these ranges, consider a change of course.
