Education experts say the cut-offs help applicants strategically choose courses based on their UACE results, especially for competitive programmes.

Kyambogo University remains one of the largest public universities in Uganda, attracting thousands of applicants every year for programmes in engineering, teacher education, sciences, arts, and vocational studies.
