understand the weighting system before completing PUJAB forms to ensure that they get access to an updated weighting system for recent admissions.<\/p><h2>Weighting System<\/h2><p>Its Quite important for you to note that the the existing Weighting System shown below applies to all the five Public Universities. Candidates are therefore advised to study and understand the weighting system before completing PUJAB forms and ensure that they get access to an updated weighting system for 2013\/2014 Admissions.<\/p><h2>Weighting Criteria<\/h2><p>Its important for you to note that all subjects taken at the Advanced Level of Education are grouped into four categories and weighted as follows for purposes of admission to any programme of Undergraduate study in the University.<\/p><p>The Essential A\u2019 Level subjects for University Programmes must be passed with at least a Principal Pass.<\/p><p>For a given candidate, not more than three subjects taken at the principal level shall carry a weight of 3, 2, or 1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p><p>For a given candidate, principal level subjects in excess of the three defined in 1.1 (i) to (iii) above, shall be designated as \u201cOthers\u201d and shall carry a weight of 0.5<\/p><p>Not more than two subjects shall be designated as \u201cEssential\u201d.<\/p><p>A pass in a subject taken at subsidiary level such as General Paper, shall carry one point. A subsidiary pass ranges from grades 1 to 6.<\/p><p>In case of programmes where \u201cEssential\u201d subjects may be three or more, an \u201cEssential set\u201d of subjects is defined. The best-performed two subjects of the essential set shall be designated as \u201cEssential Subjects\u201d and weighted three. The 3rd best done subjects from the Essential Set shall be designated as the \u201cRelevant Subject\u201d and weighted two.<\/p><p>When computing points special programme requirements are also taken into \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0consideration.<\/p><p>For \u2018O\u2019 level grades, Distinctions 1 &amp; 2 carry 0.3 points, Credits 3 to 6 carry 0.2 ,Passes 7 &amp; 8 carry 0.1 and Fail (9) carry\u00a0 0.0 weights respectively.<\/p><p>For A\u2019 Level grades, the conversion scale is A=6, B=5, C=4, D=3, E=2, O=1, F=0 points.<\/p><h2>The combined weight of a candidate for an admission to the University<\/h2><ol><li>The<strong>\u00a0O\u2019Level weight of a candidate<\/strong>\u00a0for any programme in the University, is\u00a0<strong>obtained by multiplying the numbers of Distinctions\/Credits\/Passes, by the relevant weights<\/strong>\u00a0and adding up for the Distinctions, Credits and passes actually obtained by the candidate.<\/li><li>The\u00a0<strong>A\u2019Level weight, for a given programme, of a candidate is obtained by multiplying each subject grade point by the relevant weighting factor<\/strong>\u00a0and adding up for all the subjects taken and passed.<\/li><li>The combined weight of a candidate for a given programme, is obtained by adding the O\u2019Level weight obtained (a) above to the A\u2019Level weight obtained (b) above.\u00a0 The best candidate for each programme is the one with the highest combined weight.<\/li><li>Candidates are selected on merit from those who apply for a programme as their first choice plus those who apply for the programme as 2nd, 3rd, 4th choice etc., if they have not been admitted to programmes of their earlier choices.\u00a0 All choices are considered.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b5aa3e e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no

System Home Academics Weighting System This explains the point of reference for Candidates who are advised to study and understand the weighting system before completing PUJAB forms to ensure that they get access to an updated weighting system for recent admissions. Weighting System Its Quite important for you to note that the the existing Weighting System shown below applies to all the five Public Universities. Candidates are therefore advised to study and understand the weighting system before completing PUJAB forms and ensure that they get access to an updated weighting system for 2013\/2014 Admissions. Weighting Criteria Its important for you to note that all subjects taken at the Advanced Level of Education are grouped into four categories and weighted as follows for purposes of admission to any programme of Undergraduate study in the University. The Essential A\u2019 Level subjects for University Programmes must be passed with at least a Principal Pass. For a given candidate, not more than three subjects taken at the principal level shall carry a weight of 3, 2, or 1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 For a given candidate, principal level subjects in excess of the three defined in 1.1 (i) to (iii) above, shall be designated as \u201cOthers\u201d and shall carry a weight of 0.5 Not more than two subjects shall be designated as \u201cEssential\u201d. A pass in a subject taken at subsidiary level such as General Paper, shall carry one point. A subsidiary pass ranges from grades 1 to 6. In case of programmes where \u201cEssential\u201d subjects may be three or more, an \u201cEssential set\u201d of subjects is defined. The best-performed two subjects of the essential set shall be designated as \u201cEssential Subjects\u201d and weighted three. The 3rd best done subjects from the Essential Set shall be designated as the \u201cRelevant Subject\u201d and weighted two. When computing points special programme requirements are also taken into \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0consideration. For \u2018O\u2019 level grades, Distinctions 1 &amp; 2 carry 0.3 points, Credits 3 to 6 carry 0.2 ,Passes 7 &amp; 8 carry 0.1 and Fail (9) carry\u00a0 0.0 weights respectively. For A\u2019 Level grades, the conversion scale is A=6, B=5, C=4, D=3, E=2, O=1, F=0 points. The combined weight of a candidate for an admission to the University The\u00a0O\u2019Level weight of a candidate\u00a0for any programme in the University, is\u00a0obtained by multiplying the numbers of Distinctions\/Credits\/Passes, by the relevant weights\u00a0and adding up for the Distinctions, Credits and passes actually obtained by the candidate. The\u00a0A\u2019Level weight, for a given programme, of a candidate is obtained by multiplying each subject grade point by the relevant weighting factor\u00a0and adding up for all the subjects taken and passed. The combined weight of a candidate for a given programme, is obtained by adding the O\u2019Level weight obtained (a) above to the A\u2019Level weight obtained (b) above.\u00a0 The best candidate for each programme is the one with the highest combined weight. Candidates are selected on merit from those who apply for a programme as their first choice plus those who apply for the programme as 2nd, 3rd, 4th choice etc., if they have not been admitted to programmes of their earlier choices.\u00a0 All choices are considered.
