TUT APS Score: Everything You Need to Know
TUT APS score – The Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) uses the APS score to determine students’ eligibility for admission to their programmes.
What is the TUT APS score?
The TUT APS score stands for the Tshwane University of Technology Admission Point Score. It is a points-based system used to assess a student’s academic performance in their final matric exams. The APS score takes into account the subjects that the student has taken and their scores in each subject.
Why is the TUT APS score important?
The TUT APS score is used by the Tshwane University of Technology to determine whether a student meets the minimum requirements for admission to their programmes. Each programme has its own minimum APS score requirement, so it’s important to check the specific requirements for the programme you are interested in before calculating your score. If your TUT APS score is below the minimum requirement, you will not be eligible for admission.
How is the TUT APS score calculated?
To calculate your TUT APS score, you need to add up the scores for your best seven matric subjects, excluding Life Orientation. Each subject is allocated a certain number of points based on the percentage you achieved:
