  1. What is the difference between cut-off points and weighted cluster points?

Weighted cluster points are a KCSE examination graduate’s computed performance in four subjects required for admission to a given degree programme against that of the best candidates in the particular KCSE examination year. It is based on cluster subject requirements and the overall performance of a candidate. The points are computed to three decimal places to reduce chances of applicants tying on points. Cut-off points are the weighted cluster points of the last competitively placed student in a given degree programme.
