How CUT scores you

Every university does this differently.

Partly checked

CUT APS

CUT adds the achievement points (8-point scale, 90-100% = 8 down to 0-29% = 1) of your six best academic subjects, excluding Life Orientation, then adds Life Orientation capped at 1 point no matter how high your mark is. A score of 21 or less is not admitted; 22-26 needs a selection test; 27 or more is CUT’s general floor (some programmes, like Engineering, require more).

This score means nothing at another university – it can’t be compared with any other university’s.

What we couldn’t confirm
  • The page does not say whether a student who fails Life Orientation (under 30%) still earns 1 point or 0, and we found no worked example to settle it.

What we couldn’t verify at CUT

We publish our gaps instead of hiding them.

partially verified

5 programmes across Engineering, Accounting, Education

APS formula confirmed from CUT’s own page; Civil Engineering was raw-verified from HTML. Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, Accountancy and BEd Foundation Phase came through an AI-summarized fetch rather than a raw page read - re-verify before fully trusting. The Mechanical Engineering English requirement (level 3, lower than Maths/Physical Sciences at level 4) looked anomalous and may be an extraction error. CUT’s IT programme page returned content for a different qualification (a Higher Certificate) than the URL implied, so IT was left out entirely rather than published as a guess - confirmed working IT diploma/degree requirements remain a gap. No 2027 closing dates found on any CUT page.

National Diploma: Information Technology

PARTIALLY RESOLVED 2026-10-01: a web search surfaced a working cut.ac.za/programmes/information-technology page (APS 27, English 50%, Mathematics 40% OR Information Technology 40% OR Mathematical Literacy 60%), resolving the URL/content mismatch from cut-pass-1. This is search-synthesis, not a raw fetch of the page (this environment’s network egress blocks direct fetches to university domains), so it is flagged [partially-verified][unverified] - worth a direct re-read when possible.

CUT: programme pages read for 8 rows, Quantity Surveying flagged as self-contradictory, BEngTech Mechanical added, dates verified

cut.ac.za/programmes/<slug> pages were read directly. Confirmed: BEngTech Civil (32 points, English/Physical Sciences level 4, Mathematics level 5), Electrical diploma (27 points, 50% in each), Mechanical diploma (English level 3 is CUT’s own rule), BEd Foundation Phase, Tourism Management, Medical Laboratory Science and Environmental Health. Quantity Surveying: CUT’s page gives 32 points and level 5 in the paragraph headed for pre-2008 matriculants but only "minimum NQF level 4" for 2008-onwards NSC - the row now shows level 5 and 32 with a conflict flag (previously level 6, which matched neither). Added BEngTech Mechanical (32 points, English 3, Mathematics 5, Physical Sciences 4). The general CUT scale needs at least 27 points. Dates: applications open April 2026 and closed 30 September 2026; free to apply. Still partial: Accountancy, IT, Public and Office Management, Design and Studio Art, Computer Networking, Hospitality Management - their pages give a points figure or selection process but not enough to confirm the row as written.
