Many Students find it hard to calculate their aggregate score and cut-off mark as this varies for different Institutions.
Still, before this, we will tell you what aggregate and Post UTME Score means and what things are to be considered before calculating the aggregate score.
The North-West University (NWU) is a South African university with three campuses: Potchefstroom, Mahikeng (Previously Mafikeng), and Vanderbijlpark, South Africa. In Potchefstroom is the head office of the University.
With its merged status, the North-West University became one of the largest universities in South Africa and has 64 081 students (full-time and distance education).
The universities that merged to form this institution are the Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education and the University of North-West (formerly the University of Bophuthatswana).
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 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.
