How CUT scores you

Every university does this differently.

Partly checkedWe do not calculate this

CUT APS

CUT adds the achievement points (8-point scale, 90-100% = 8) of your six academic subjects, plus Life Orientation capped at 1 point no matter how high your LO 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). We have confirmed this rule from CUT’s own page but have not yet implemented it, so each programme shows its published minimum APS as reference only.

CUT’s formula is confirmed but not yet implemented in our calculator - see the published minimum on each programme instead.

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

What we couldn’t confirm
  • It is not fully clear from the page whether every passing Life Orientation mark earns exactly 1 point or whether some marks earn 0 - we have not implemented this formula pending that clarification, so each programme shows its published minimum APS as reference only.

The English level (3) came through noticeably lower than Mathematics/Physical Sciences (4) in the source we read - double-check this isn’t an extraction error before relying on it. This programme’s figures came through an AI-summarized fetch of the official CUT page rather than a raw read of the page itself - re-verify against cut.ac.za before fully relying on 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.
