How the Weighted Cluster Points are arrived at:

KUCCPS provides a list of cluster subjects for each university course usually during course
revision at the provincial head quarters.
To get the weighted cluster points, you need to determine:
1. The Raw Cluster Points
2. Basic Aggregate point
The Raw Cluster Point: The maximum points for any cluster (four subjects) are 48 points
assuming a student scored grade A in all the four subjects (12 *4). The total points of the four
cluster subjects are calculated based on a students result slip. This total is also called the Raw
Cluster Points.
The points are as follows:

Basic Aggregate Point: The Basic aggregate point is the aggregate value of the students grade.
For example, a student could have an A- (minus) of aggregate points between of 74 and 80
points. This is usually indicated on the results slip.
Calculating the Weighted Cluster Point
The following formula is used to calculate the weighted cluster point:

Where:
w = Weighted Cluster Point
c = Raw Cluster Point
a = Aggregate Cluster Point
Here is a sample of a table with precalculated Weighted Cluster Points based on the fomula
above.

With this table, simply match your Basic Aggregate points on the Verticle Axis and your Raw
Cluster points for a given course on the Horizontal Axis and read the Weighted Cluster Point at
their intersection.
