How It Works

🇦🇫 Afghanistan Kankor. The Kankor is Afghanistan's single national university entrance exam, administered by the Ministry of Higher Education. It is a 160-question multiple-choice paper scored on a 360-point scale, so each correct item is worth 2.25 points. The Ministry sets a floor of roughly 150 points for any higher-education placement, with competitive fields (law, economics, business) typically clearing 200 and elite faculties (medicine, dentistry, engineering, computer science) demanding 280+. There is no negative marking, but unanswered questions score zero.

🇧🇹 Bhutan BHSEC. The Bhutan Higher Secondary Education Certificate is the Class XII exam administered by BCSEA (now co-branded with Cambridge International). The Royal University of Bhutan ranks applicants on the average of the four best subjects out of 100, with English compulsory among the four. A minimum of 50% in English is enforced as an independent gate on top of the aggregate, so a high four-subject mean with weak English still fails admission.

🇲🇻 Maldives DHE Scholarships. The Ministry of Higher Education runs the High Achievers Scholarship using A-Level grade points (A* = 5, A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1) summed across the best three subjects. Since the 2019 revision the Dhivehi and Islam pillars both require A* at O-Level, and English must be at least C, before the A-Level point total is even considered. The Top Achievers / Presidential tier additionally needs at least one A* at A-Level.

The regulatory trap. Naive calculators add up the strongest scores and call it a pass. All three systems instead enforce independent gates — a Kankor faculty cutoff, a BHSEC English floor, the Maldives Dhivehi/Islam/English pillars — that any single weak component can fail even when the headline aggregate looks strong. This tool surfaces a failed gate before reporting a "Pass" outcome.
