KNUST is one of the best universities in Ghana and it has a lot of history. It covers a broad spectrum of disciplines and has a lot of strong programs.
The school has a strong alumni association and a rich culture. That said, many aspiring students ask the question, “Does KNUST accept D7?” This blog examines this question and what students will need to do to get into this school.
General Entry Requirements for WASSCE Holders
An applicant for admission to a degree program in the University must have CREDIT passes in the THREE WASSCE/SSSCE Core Subjects (English Language, Mathematics, and Integrated Science), and CREDIT passes in THREE WASSCE/SSSCE Elective Subjects or its equivalent relevant to the chosen programme with aggregate 24 or better (WASSCE: A1-C6/SSSCE A-D).
Is D7 Accepted In Knust?
Earning grades in the range from A to C6 rather than grades ranging from D7 to F9, which are not accepted, is one of the entry requirements and a guideline for choosing an undergraduate program.
In other words, D7, E8, and F9 are not acceptable answers at KNUST. You have to get grades higher than D7 in all of your classes, especially in the three required subjects, and you have to get those grades in the three elective subjects as well.
