However, students should not interpret a higher numerical cut-off as an automatic guarantee of admission. The University of Ghana says cut-off points can change from year to year depending on factors such as applicant performance and programme quotas.

Applicants must also satisfy the relevant subject requirements for their chosen programme. Therefore, having the required aggregate alone may not be sufficient for admission.
