A professor at the University of Ghana Business School, Prof. Kobby Mensah, has developed software to simplify the university admissions process for Senior High School (SHS) students.
Known as an “Admissions checker”, the platform can generate reports of a student’s academic performance and assess the chances of university admission.
How does it work?
“The software is designed to provide students with realistic choices and opportunities for university admission. Students can receive a report indicating their admission opportunities in percentage terms by inputting their academic records.” Prof. Kobby Mensah noted.
Users must input their high school courses, WASSCE grades, and demographic details. This information is then processed through robust algorithms to generate a detailed report of admission chances.
Who can use it?
It is not only WASSCE candidates who can use the platform.
It is accessible to all SHS students whether you are a candidate or not. Students in SHS 1 or 2 can use their terminal examination results to evaluate their eligibility for university admission.
This allows them to track their progress, identify areas for improvement, and adjust their study strategies before sitting for the WASSCE exams.
What problem does it solve?
Admissions Checker’s ability to generate accurate reports and assessments of admission opportunities from given data eliminates the stress and uncertainty the admission process comes with.
Students can be sure of their faith when applying for certain courses and at the same enhancing the academic performance of students still in school.
