University of Technology Apply through the CAO mut.ac.za (opens the official page)
Every university does this differently.
RESOLVED 2026-10-03: a web-found MUT admissions page once claimed "best five subjects", but three of MUT's own official documents (its IT programme page, 2026 First-Year Prospectus, and Undergraduate Prospectus) all independently state the same rule - the best six subjects excluding Life Orientation, each scored on the standard 1-8 NSC level scale, with no Life Orientation bonus at all.
This score means nothing at another university – it can’t be compared with any other university’s.

MUT APS 24
CONFLICT: the user-supplied MUT First-Year Prospectus 2026 states "a minimum of 25 points in the best six subjects" for this same diploma, one point above the 24 shown here from the Applied and Health Sciences Handbook - both official, both labelled 2026, disagreeing on the exact number though agreeing on the six-subject method (now resolved for MUT generally - see MUT_APS). We show the lower, already-published figure rather than silently raising it. The APS formula conflict that used to apply to this row is otherwise resolved: best six subjects excluding Life Orientation.

Medical laboratory (diagnostic) science specifically, not general biology research. RAW-CONFIRMED by a second MUT document (the user-supplied First-Year Prospectus 2026) - same subjects and 4-year duration, but still no single APS number stated in either document (a "24" appeared near these subjects in the original source table but its exact meaning was ambiguous, so it is still not published as the APS). Duration includes 6 months of work-integrated learning in year 3 and 12 months of clinical practice in year 4.

MUT APS 28
Subject levels re-read 2026-10-04 from the MUT First-Year Prospectus 2026 (English 5, Agricultural Science or Life Science 5, Mathematics 3; Physical Sciences an added advantage; CAO code MN-M-DCN) - the earlier row had Life Sciences only and no Mathematics. The APS of 28 comes from the earlier handbook and is not restated in the First-Year Prospectus, so it is still unconfirmed. Read directly (pdftotext) from MUT’s own Applied and Health Sciences Handbook. Selection also weighs field/conservation experience and a CV alongside academics. Includes one year of work-integrated learning with a recognised conservation body. Source PDF labelled "2026", not yet confirmed for 2027.

CONFLICT: the user-supplied First-Year Prospectus 2026 states this degree is 3 years, not 4 as shown here from the Applied and Health Sciences Handbook - both official, both labelled 2026, agreeing exactly on every subject requirement but disagreeing on duration.

We publish our gaps instead of hiding them.
CONFLICT: MUT’s general admissions page says APS uses your best five subjects; its IT programme page says best six excluding Life Orientation - both are shown, flagged, neither picked. Figures are raw-extracted from official MUT PDFs, which are labelled "2026" and not yet confirmed as the 2027-intake versions. No APS number was stated for the Civil or Electrical Engineering diploma pages we read, so those show subject minimums only. Mechanical Engineering’s subject table was not reached before stopping - full gap. The Medical Laboratory Science APS figure was ambiguous in extraction and is deliberately not published. No official 2027 closing date found anywhere on mut.ac.za (only unverified third-party claims).
RESOLVED 2026-10-03: the user supplied two more official MUT documents (First-Year Prospectus 2026, Undergraduate Prospectus), both independently stating "best six subjects excluding Life Orientation" - a 3-against-1 majority against the web-found "general admissions page" that had claimed best five. MUT_APS is now implemented in src/scoring.js (same shape as UP/UJ's formula: sum of NSC levels for the best six subjects, no Life Orientation bonus) and no longer counted among the non-computable systems (scripts/test-scoring.mjs's pinned count dropped 7 to 6). Cross-checking the new documents against every existing MUT row raw-confirmed 7 of them exactly (Civil/Electrical/Mechanical Engineering diplomas, Analytical Chemistry, Marketing, Public Management, HR Management) and gave Nature Conservation (Bachelor)'s Mathematics its first real level (4, replacing a vague "pass mark required"). Two NEW conflicts surfaced, both shown rather than picked: the IT diploma's APS total (24 in the Applied and Health Sciences Handbook vs 25 in the First-Year Prospectus) and BSc Environmental Health's duration (4 years vs 3 years) - both official, both labelled 2026, agreeing on everything else. Diploma in Agriculture (Crop Production/Animal Production) and Diploma in Nature Conservation's subject-level breakdowns remain as originally captured - the new documents' own tables for these two were ambiguous in a different, conflicting way and were not used to "fix" what might already be right.
The MUT First-Year Prospectus 2026 states subject levels per qualification. Corrected from the older faculty handbooks: Diploma in Accounting and Local Government Finance need Mathematical Literacy 6 (not 5) and Accounting takes English Home Language 4 / First Additional 5; Crop Production reads as Mathematics 5 or Physical Sciences 3, and Agricultural Sciences 4 or Life Sciences 3; Nature Conservation takes English 5, Agricultural or Life Sciences 5, Mathematics 3 (its APS 28 still comes only from the handbook). Added Chemical Engineering, Surveying, Building, Cost and Management Accounting, Finance and Accounting (Public) and Office Management. The 2019/20 Undergraduate Prospectus in the folder is too old to be a source. No closing dates are published in these documents.
Enter your subjects once and we’ll check them against every MUT degree above.
