How VUT scores you

Every university does this differently.

Partly checked

VUT APS

VUT adds the NSC achievement levels (1 to 7) of your best six subjects, excluding Life Orientation. Several programmes also apply their own additional selection rules on top (e.g. a combined Mathematics + Physical Science threshold) which we show in the programme’s own notes rather than compute.

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

What we couldn’t confirm
  • VUT’s document did not spell out the exact points-per-percentage table, so we assume the standard NSC 1-7 achievement-level scale (no extra 90%+ band) used by UP, UJ and UL - VUT’s published programme APS figures are consistent with that scale. Several programmes also apply additional selection rules (e.g. a combined Mathematics + Physical Science threshold) we show as a note rather than compute.

VUT’s how-to-apply page prints the number as "0861 681 888", which is probably a typo; 0861 861 888 is used here. Its closing date is also shown differently on two VUT pages (see the dates page).

What we couldn’t verify at VUT

We publish our gaps instead of hiding them.

partially verified

9 programmes across Engineering, IT, Business, Health Sciences, Education, Hospitality

Full APS formula and 9 programmes captured from VUT’s own 2027 minimum-admission-requirements PDF - this closes the gap flagged in an earlier pass (the PDF had been located but not read). Several programmes layer additional selection rules on the basic APS, which are not yet implemented, so VUT_APS is non-computable for now. Could not confirm whether VUT offers a standalone Nursing qualification (only Medical Laboratory Science was found in Health Sciences) - treat as unconfirmed, not as a confirmed absence.
