How KSU Calculates Admission
KSU uses a screening method. It does not hold a written post-UTME. Your JAMB score and O’level grades are used to calculate your final score.
Sample O’level grading:
- A1 = 10 points
- B2 = 9 points
- B3 = 8 points
- C4 = 7 points
- C5 = 6 points
- C6 = 5 points
Five best subjects are used. These are added to your JAMB score for the final ranking.
What to Do If You Scored Below the Cut-Off
If your score is below your course cut-off:
- Apply for a course with a lower cut-off
- Use the JAMB change of course option
- Try again next year
- Consider part-time or diploma programs
Tips for Getting Admission into KSU
- Score higher than the general cut-off
- Choose KSU as first choice
- Upload O’level results early
- Apply for screening on time
- Follow updates on ksu.edu.ng
Final Thoughts
KSU gives admission based on merit. Your JAMB score and O’level results must match your course requirements.
Courses like Law and Computer Science need higher scores. Choose wisely and apply early.
