Cut-Off Marks for Category B SHS (2025)
A common misconception is that each SHS has a fixed “aggregate cut-off point.” In reality:
- The Computerized School Selection & Placement System (CSSPS) for BECE placement does not use pre-set cut-off aggregates per school. Placement is based on aggregate score, preferences, and available space per grade-point band.
- Any “cut-off” figures you hear—especially shared informally—typically reflect those of prior years and are not binding for the current placement year.
