How TUT scores you

Every university does this differently.

Partly checked

TUT APS

TUT adds the NSC achievement levels (1 to 7) of your best six subjects, excluding Life Orientation and excluding any subject scored at achievement level 1 (0-29%).

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

What we couldn’t confirm
  • We have not independently confirmed whether the level-1 exclusion changes which six subjects are selected versus simply scoring a level-1 subject as 0 - we implement it as excluding that subject from the selection pool entirely.

Checked against: TUT General Information for First-Year Enrolment 2027 (opens the official page)

What we couldn’t verify at TUT

We publish our gaps instead of hiding them.

partially verified

8 programmes across Engineering, ICT, Accounting, Education, Nursing, Hospitality

Full APS formula and 8 programmes captured from two official TUT 2027 enrolment PDFs. The formula’s "drop any subject scored at level 1" nuance is confirmed but not yet implemented, so TUT_APS is non-computable for now - each programme shows its published APS as reference only. BEd Foundation Phase (31 July) and Nursing (15 June) close notably earlier than TUT’s standard 30 September date.

partially verified

9 new rows added from 6 user-supplied per-faculty 2026/2027 prospectuses (Science, Humanities, Economics & Finance, Management Sciences)

RESOLVED 2026-10-03: the user supplied 7 more TUT documents, 6 of them genuine per-faculty prospectuses far more granular than the general "First-Year Course Information" PDF tut-pass-1 was built from (the 7th, First-Year-Course_Information.pdf, was already the exact file already cited as source_url - no new information there). Spot-checked Diploma in Civil Engineering against the new FEBE Faculty Prospectus and it matched the existing row exactly, raw-confirming that the existing 19 rows remain accurate rather than stale - the other 18 were not individually re-checked this pass for time reasons, still resting on tut-pass-1's confidence tier. These documents list a genuine trap: several qualifications appear twice, once under their current code and once under an older code in a "Phasing out qualifications" section with a stated last-intake year (e.g. Bachelor of Pharmacy BPPH26 current vs BPPH01 phasing out; Bachelor of Environmental Health BPEH25 current vs BPEH01, last intake already closed in 2024; Biokinetics BPBK24 current vs BPBK20) - every new row below was checked against the CURRENT code only. Added 9 new rows with an existing career fit: Bachelor of Pharmacy, Bachelor of Environmental Health, Bachelor of Health Science in Biokinetics, Bachelor of Health Science in Medical Laboratory Science (all Science faculty, all highly competitive selection programmes beyond the stated APS), Diploma in Geology, Diploma in Journalism, Diploma in Economics, Diploma in Financial Management, and Diploma in Retail Business Management. Not yet read: the Arts & Design and ICT faculty prospectuses, and most of Humanities/Management Sciences beyond the two rows added - starting point for a future TUT pass.

partially verified

TUT: 46 new programmes, 21 existing rows raw-confirmed, 1 conflict surfaced, 2027 changes captured, 3 closing-date entries added

The user-supplied TUT 2026 faculty prospectuses state a minimum APS for every qualification and, in places, a separate "As from 2027" figure. 21 existing rows (mostly [partially-verified]) were raw-confirmed. 46 rows were added with an existing career fit. 2027 changes now shown: BEngTech Civil rises from APS 28 to 30; Biotechnology and Food Technology from 21 to 24; Animal Sciences and Equine Science drop the Mathematical Literacy route and add Physical Science level 3; the Language Practice diploma needs the second language at level 5; BArch adds a Mathematics requirement. CONFLICT: Diploma in Hospitality Management is APS 24 in the First-Year Course Information PDF but APS 20 in the Management Sciences prospectus - shown with both. The per-programme closing dates (15 June, 31 July or 30 September) come from the First-Year PDF table and are on each new row and as three date entries. Not read: Computer Systems Engineering extended streams, Polymer/Materials/Metallurgical BEngTech and the Honours programmes (no career fit); the Senior Phase/FET BEd specialisations (APS 24 for most, 28 for some - shown as no single figure).
