Hello Damilola! KWASU uses a point grading formula where your UTME/DE score accounts for 70% and your five (5) relevant O'Level subject grades account for 30%.

No, Favour. While all other courses at KWASU accept up to two O'Level sittings, MBBS requires your five relevant O'Level credit passes in one sitting only.
