𝗖𝗹𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 (𝗖𝗹𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀) This your score calculated from 4 specific subjects required for a course. Each course has its own cluster subjects. Example: Computer Science requires Maths, English, Physics, etc. Nursing requires Biology, Chemistry, English, etc. ~~ Your performance in those 4 subjects determines your cluster points (out of 48). The higher your cluster points, the more competitive you are. You CANNOT Calculate your own Cluster Weight! They are automatically generated and will appear in the KUCCPS Portal once they are ready - will let you know 𝗖𝘂𝘁-𝗢𝗳𝗳 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 This is the minimum cluster points required to be placed in a course. 📍𝙄𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩: -Cut-off points change every year. -They depend on competition. -Competitive courses have higher cut-offs. Example: If Nursing cut-off is 40 and you have 42 cluster points ✅ You qualify. If you have 37 cluster points ❌ You may not be placed. *𝑵𝑶𝑻𝑬 that: Cut-Off Points CHANGE in relative to an institution! e.g. Computer science may requires 42 Points in University of Nairobi, and 28 Points in Pwani University. With time you will be able to see the cluster weight section in your portal. Thats your Cluster Weight. Some clusters will have 0.000 which can be as a result of: 1. You did not meet the minimum subject requiremnt 2. You are missing a required cluster subject 3. Your mean grade is below the required minimum Which means, you CANNOT pursue any course in that specific cluster weight. Importantly ‼️: THAT EACH UNIVERSITY HAS ITS OWN CUT-OFF POINTs
