Cut-off points are among the most searched education queries in Ghana — and the most misquoted.
How Cut-Offs Work (Concept)
- You apply with WASSCE (or eligible) results
- Schools compute an aggregate from required subjects
- Competitive programmes fill from best aggregates upward
- Published cut-offs (when released) reflect that year’s competition
A viral “KNUST Medicine 06” screenshot from three years ago is not a promise.
How to Use Cut-Off Lists Sensibly
| Do | Don’t |
|---|---|
| Read this year’s admissions brochure | Rely only on Facebook images |
| Check core + elective rules | Ignore programme-specific subjects |
| Apply to a mix of choices | Put only one ultra-competitive option |
