Composite Admission Fit ScoreAdmissions Diagnostic Algorithm

Fit Score = [Academic Weight (45%)] + [Subject Match (30%)] + [English Proficiency (15%)] + [Recency of Study (10%)]

Academic: Meeting or exceeding published minimum degree class or GPA threshold
Subject Match: Completion of required prerequisite credits in target discipline
English: Minimum 6.5 overall IELTS (no band below 6.0) or certified WAEC/NECO C6 English
Recency: Graduation within 5 years or documented relevant work experience bridging study gaps

Important Application Nuances & Exceptions

Competitive vs Minimum Bars: Meeting the published minimum GPA does not guarantee admission in high-demand programs (such as MSc Computer Science or MBA).
Program-Specific Quantitative Prerequisite: Some universities require at least two undergraduate courses in calculus or linear algebra regardless of overall CGPA.
